B2B email finder
and enrichment
🔎 About 33% of your lead base becomes obsolete every year. This is even more true today. People are changing companies more and more frequently, more often, faster.
That's why Dropcontact has developed its own B2B email address search algorithms: no more obsolescence, only fresh and up-to-date data 🤩.
The professional data of the contact and his company are enriched, normalized, verified at the very moment of your search.
👉🏻 Discover Dropcontact email finder and enrichment feature.
Hunter.io has collected over 102 million business and personal email addresses in the past few years. For each search, Hunter.io looks for the information in its constituted database.
This does not ensure that the data is fresh and up to date over the long term.
A 100% GDPR compliant tool
Dropcontact does not use any personal information database purchase or recovery. No personal data is stored and used to provide a verified professional email address.
It is the only solution that uses its algorithms to generate, test, and verify a business email address or other personal data.
Hunter.io, on the other hand, uses a database and resells business or personal information stored in a database.
However, according to the GDPR, each person must give explicit consent to authorize the use and resale of his data to third parties. In addition, each partner must be known by the contact.
Are you sure that these millions of people have given their consent to the use and resale of their contact da
B2B emails verification
With Dropcontact, there is no need to use a complimentary email verification solution.
Dropcontact exclusively provides email addresses that are verified in real-time by its test servers.
The validity rate of the provided addresses is 98% (85% for email addresses whose domain is configured as catch-all).
👉🏻 Find out more about Dropcontact pro email verification.
Hunter.io side, to verify an email address provided by the service, you have to pay... again!
Contacts and companies duplicate merging
Dropcontact cleans up the prospect and customer databases directly in the CRM by merging all duplicate data.
After detecting the duplicate contacts, they are merged without any loss of information.
Merging duplicate contacts is essential for efficient prospecting: no duplicate messages sent, no confusion in the Sales and Marketing teams...
👉🏻 Discover Dropcontact duplicate detection and merging feature
Hunter.io does not detect duplicates in your CRM and therefore does not merge duplicate records.
CRM integration
Dropcontact CRM integration is available on Pipedrive, Salesforce, and Hubspot.
It allows you to update in real-time all your leads, contacts, and organizations directly in your CRM.
The data in the file is automatically enriched, verified, and corrected, and duplicate files are merged so that there is no loss of information within the sales team.
👉🏻 Dropcontact CRM integration
Hunter.io integrates with the leading CRMs on the market, but only to synchronize leads obtained from Hunter.io with the CRM records.
Duplicate detection and merging are not handled by Hunter.io.
