Questions before you choose

When should I choose Hunter over Apollo?

Hunter starts with a person’s name and employer domain and adds confidence information. Apollo combines discovery filters with business contact enrichment and sales workflows.

Does Hunter replace Apollo’s sales workspace?

Hunter is strong at email discovery and verification and also has outreach tools. Apollo offers a broader prospecting and sales workspace. Glasser provides selected data operations; the providers’ campaign interfaces remain separate products.

Can I use Hunter and Apollo together through Glasser?

Yes. The selected endpoints for both providers are available through one Glasser key and balance. Match each operation to the right input and field requirements; access covers listed APIs, not the providers’ entire software suites.

Can my agent choose the right data API automatically?

An agent can discover available endpoints and select one using your required fields, input identifiers and budget. It should inspect the contract and ask before paid execution. Glasser does not silently route to an unavailable provider or guarantee identical records across sources.

How do I control API spending through Glasser?

Set a task budget in your agent instructions, inspect the endpoint’s price and cap, and limit request volume. Check each run’s actual charge before continuing. An instruction is not a billing-system hard cap; returned rows and optional parameters can change the total.

Can I use Glasser with Claude Code, Codex and ChatGPT?

Use the Glasser Skill or CLI in a compatible coding agent, or connect Glasser through MCP in a supported client. Client support and account settings determine which integration is available. The prompt above helps your agent discover the APIs relevant to this task.
