Hunter for emails, Scavio for context

The common 2026 pattern: Hunter finds the verified contact email on a domain; Scavio runs a Google + Reddit + YouTube sweep on the company so the SDR agent can write a relevant opening line. Different jobs, different APIs — but in the same pipeline.

When Hunter.io might be a better fit

Hunter is the right tool when your entire job is finding verified business emails from a domain list. It is purpose-built for that single workflow and does it well.

If your agent needs broader intelligence — company research, recent news, product launches, community sentiment — Scavio handles the public web at a fraction of the per-call price. Pair the two: Hunter for emails, Scavio for everything else.
