Why people look for Hunter.io alternatives

25 searches/month isn't enough for any real campaign. A list of 50 companies blows through your free credits in one afternoon. Then you're on $49/month minimum.
Credits reset monthly - you can't carry over unused searches. If you run campaigns quarterly, you're paying for months you barely use.
Bulk enrichment gets expensive fast. 500 searches/month on Starter barely covers a mid-size campaign. Growth is $149/month for 5,000.
You're renting access to their database. The moment you stop paying, you lose access. The data you already looked up stays in their system, not yours.
Email finder only - you still need other tools. Hunter.io finds emails. You need separate tools for phones, LinkedIn, and company descriptions. Costs stack up.

What Rova does that Hunter.io doesn't

Phone Numbers

Hunter.io is email-only. Rova scrapes contact pages for published phone numbers. Gets main lines for companies that make them public.

LinkedIn URLs

Finds company LinkedIn pages from homepages. Hunter.io does not provide LinkedIn. Rova gives you the profile link for every company in your list.

Company Description

One-sentence summary from meta tags. Ready to use as personalization context in cold email templates.

HQ Location

City and address from contact and about pages. Useful for geographic targeting — Hunter only shows this for paid plans.

No Monthly Reset

Run it on 10 companies or 1,000 companies. No counter ticking down. No month-end scramble to use remaining credits.

CSV Ready

Output imports directly into any CRM or sequencer. All fields in one file — email, phone, LinkedIn, location, description.

Rova wraps the Hunter.io free API (25 lookups/month built in) with scraping fallback for everything else. One-time purchase, no ongoing cost.
