Professional email discovery and verification platform for B2B outreach.
A generous starting point for very light prospecting or testing.
Forever free
The perfect sweet spot for a solo founder doing targeted cold outreach.
For small agencies or founders running high-volume, multi-inbox campaigns.
Built strictly for large outbound sales teams.
Most SaaS tools trick you with annual billing by locking you into a monthly drip of credits. Hunter is different. If you buy the Starter plan annually for $408, they immediately dump all 24,000 credits into your account on day one. For solo founders who do 'burst' campaigns (e.g., pulling 10,000 leads in one week and resting for three months), this completely bypasses the 'use it or lose it' monthly limits.
Hunter uses a split credit system. Finding an email address costs 1 full credit, but verifying an existing email address only costs 0.5 credits. If you already scrape lists using cheaper tools, feeding those raw lists into Hunter purely for verification makes your Starter plan stretch twice as far.
Unlike Apollo or ZoomInfo, Hunter is strictly an email tool. You will not get mobile phone numbers, direct dials, or detailed LinkedIn profile data. If your ICP strategy relies heavily on cold calling or multichannel outreach, Hunter cannot be your only data provider.
This equals 1 hour of your billable time. For $49, you get 2,000 highly accurate domain-based emails. If you are doing highly targeted, low-volume outreach, this plan easily pays for itself by preventing bounced emails.
This is 3 billable hours. Unless you are actively managing 10 different email sender accounts and sending thousands of cold emails a week, this is complete overkill for a solo founder. Stick to Starter.
Do not buy this [1.1.1]. It costs almost $300 a month and is designed for enterprise outbound teams. A solo founder will never organically use 25,000 search credits in 30 days.

Yes. Surprisingly, Hunter allows unlimited team members on all plans, including the Free and Starter tiers [1.2.1]. You do not have to pay extra 'seat' licenses just to have your VA or co-founder help you build lead lists.
No. On monthly plans, credits do not roll over to the next month. However, if you purchase additional 'Credit Packs' (e.g., $10 for 100 credits), those specific bonus credits remain valid for 3 months.
No. Hunter's strength is finding emails based on a company domain. It does not provide advanced 'Buyer Intent' signals (like who is actively researching your niche). You have to manually guess which employee at the company is the right decision-maker.
