Hunter is an email-finding platform built around Domain Search, Email Finder and Email Verifier, with a Discover database to search companies, lead enrichment and Sequences for sending cold emails. You give it a company domain or a name and it returns professional addresses; a found email costs 1 credit, a verification 0.5, and unfound results are free.
LeadsIt answers the question that comes before: which businesses should I contact? Type a business type and a city and it finds them live in public business listings, then reads each website for the emails, phones and social links it publishes. You get the list and the contacts in one step, along with signals such as no website or few reviews.

It depends on the job. As of October 2026, Hunter has a free plan and paid plans from €49 per month, with credits per email found or verified. LeadsIt sells one-time packs from €3.45; one credit runs a city search and returns every matching business with the contacts it publishes.
Yes. Export your LeadsIt list as CSV with each business’s website, then run those domains through Hunter if you want extra addresses or verification. LeadsIt finds the businesses; Hunter works on domains you already have.
No. LeadsIt collects the emails a business actually publishes on its own website or listing. It does not build addresses from name patterns, and it does not look up personal emails or private profiles.
In France, the CNIL allows B2B emails to a professional address without prior consent if the message relates to the recipient’s job and includes an easy opt-out. LeadsIt only uses public business data hosted in the EU; how you send remains your responsibility.
