About

What is SignalHire

SignalHire looks up email addresses and phone numbers by name, drawing from a database of over 850 million profiles and 30 million companies. It's built for SDRs, BDRs, and founders at SMBs and mid-market companies who need direct contact data without going through gatekeepers. The Chrome extension lets you capture contact details while browsing LinkedIn or other pages, and native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, and a range of ATS platforms mean data can flow straight into your existing workflow. Credits are consumed per lookup, so teams with high-volume prospecting needs will find costs climb quickly once they move past the free tier — it's not a flat-rate tool at scale.

Our verdict

Vanderbuild take

For SDRs and founders who need to go from a name to a direct dial or verified email without a lot of tooling overhead, SignalHire is a straightforward pick in the email and phone finder category. The API is available and capable enough that you can wrap it into your own automation layer or MCP-style orchestration — it won't fight you, though MCP-native support isn't confirmed yet. Pricing starts free and stays affordable for small teams, but the per-credit model means costs scale with volume, so mid-market teams running high-frequency prospecting should model that out before committing. The honest limitation here is depth of enrichment — SignalHire gives you contact data, but it doesn't layer in firmographic context, intent signals, or sequencing, so you'll need other tools alongside it for a full outbound stack.
