What are some cheap / free alternatives to hunter.io ?

I took to scraping google but that's not the smartest as my IP got blocked pretty quickly and google is too smart for my artificial sleeps!

I found https://github.com/maldevel/EmailHarvester an open source tool which works reasonably well!

    Here's my list of freemium alternatives to Hunter to find email addresses.

    Get 100 emails per service:

    https://www.skrapp.io/

    http://leadsfinder.io/

    https://snov.io

    https://www.adapt.io

    20 (per account): https://anymailfinder.com/

    25 (per account): https://www.mails.wtf (Recently launched. Think it's made by @sushantshek20)

    Rapportive (now is Sales Navigator Lite by LinkedIn) https://business.linkedin.com/sales-solutions/compare-plans/sales-navigator-for-gmail

    Figure out email addresses by permutation: https://name2email.com/ and https://email-format.com/

    Then there are services like Aeroleads from @pushkargaikwad

    Once you find them, you'll want to make sure you verify the email addresses so your bounce rate isn't atrocious.

    Always use proxies and rate limiting if you're going to scrape Google. :)

    Anyway, I like https://findthatlead.com/ as an alternative to Hunter.io... I believe they have a limited number of calls in their free plan. Especially like that they can provide an email address based on someone's social profile.

      Thanks @mikesonders I am using rate limiting. Do you know of any good proxy sources? Ideally free :-p

        For paid (but not expensive!), I like MyPrivateProxy.

        There are free proxies all over the place (ask Google how to find free proxies using ScrapeBox), but a bunch of people use them as soon as they're available, so they burn out quickly.

    Hunter.io blocked me when I tried to create a second account 😅. Now I just ask my friends to create accounts for me when I need it.

      Thanks Jamie. That process a bit manual if you want 1000s of leads!
