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
    https://connect.clearbit.com

    150 credits: https://findthatlead.com
    50 (per account): https://www.voilanorbert.com/
    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.

    I made Growth Gecko to scrape names and company names from LinkedIn:

    You have to use it in conjunction with something like Hunter.io to get the actual emails.

    Although it says it's a paid tool, I haven't implemented the payment yet, so go wild until I do!

    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!
