Hunter is the simplest way to find a company's email pattern and a specific person's business address, and it has grown into a light outreach tool around that core. The Email Finder, Email Verifier and Domain Search draw on one credit pool, with an email found costing one credit and a verification half a credit. The free plan includes 50 credits a month, the Discover database with basic filters, one connected email account and sequences of up to 500 recipients. Starter raises that to 24,000 credits a year with automatic verification, lead enrichment, advanced filters, three email accounts and an AI writing assistant. Every plan includes unlimited team members, which suits a small team that shares the work. The limit is scope: Hunter does not list phone numbers, so cold callers need another source. Its pricing page showed us euro prices only, so we have marked the USD price as pending.
Who it is for
Teams that only need business email addresses and want unlimited users at a low price.
