Hunter
DataEmail finder, verifier and cold email sequences built on crawled public web data
The most straightforward email finder on the market: a narrow product, a published price, unlimited seats, and a privacy policy that explains exactly how the addresses are produced.
Best for
Teams and solo operators who need reliable email discovery and verification with a published price, and already run sending somewhere else or are happy with a simple built-in sequencer.
Not great for
Teams whose outbound depends on mobile numbers, intent signals or LinkedIn sending, none of which Hunter advertises.

Hunter, in plain terms
Hunter is an email finding and verification platform built around Domain Search, which returns the email addresses associated with a company domain, and Email Finder, which returns a likely address for a named person at that domain. Around those sit an Email Verifier, a Discover tool for finding companies matching an ideal customer profile, a Campaigns module for cold email sequences, a Chrome extension and a Data Platform with an API and bulk tasks. Hunter states that it indexes 150M professional email addresses from 650M public sources and crawls 30M web pages a day, and reports 7M+ user accounts and 600,000+ extension users. Its privacy policy explains the two sourcing methods plainly: crawling publicly accessible pages while respecting robots.txt, and generating likely addresses from public name and employer data, then validating deliverability and attaching a confidence score. The scope is deliberately narrow. Hunter does not advertise phone numbers, mobile data, intent signals or LinkedIn automation, so it sits alongside a sales engagement stack rather than replacing one. Access is metered in search credits and verification credits, which expire after 12 months, and prices are published in euros. Every plan includes unlimited team members, which is unusual in this category. The company is bootstrapped, with a co-founder describing it publicly as bootstrapped and cash flow positive and startup trackers listing it as unfunded.

Pros
- Published, self-serve pricing in euros with a genuinely usable free tier at 50 credits a month
- Unlimited team members on every plan, including Free, which is rare in this category
- The privacy policy states plainly how addresses are produced, by crawling public pages and by pattern-based generation with a confidence score
- Credits expire after 12 months rather than monthly, and duplicate requests inside a billing period cost nothing extra
- Bootstrapped and cash flow positive per its co-founder, with startup trackers listing no outside funding, so there is no investor-driven repricing pressure
- Rated 4.6 from 711 reviews on GetApp, with ease of use at 4.8 and customer support at 4.7
Cons
- No phone numbers, mobile data or intent signals are advertised, so it covers one channel only
- No LinkedIn automation, which means a second tool for teams running multichannel outbound
- Reviewers report the free plan is limited and that the price climbs quickly for high-volume users
- Reviewers ask for more integrations and richer bulk options
- Prices are set in euros, so the effective cost moves with the exchange rate for teams billing in dollars

Hunter publishes its prices in euros. Free is EUR 0 with 50 credits a month, Starter is EUR 49 a month for 2,000 credits, Growth is EUR 149 for 10,000 and Scale is EUR 299 for 25,000, with annual billing bringing those to roughly EUR 34, EUR 104 and EUR 209 per month. Enterprise is quoted. From their published pricing, August 2026, so check their pricing page before budgeting.
Yes. The Free plan gives 50 credits per month, one connected email account, 100,000 saved leads and unlimited team members. There is no separately advertised time-limited trial of the paid tiers, and Hunter's own help content notes you can take a single month of a paid plan and cancel when the work is done.
There are two kinds. Search credits cover Domain Search and Email Finder, and verification credits cover the Email Verifier. Credits expire after 12 months, and repeating the same request inside a billing period does not cost extra. Extra credit packs can be bought on top of a plan.
Per their privacy policy, two ways. Hunter crawls publicly accessible web pages while respecting robots.txt and avoids private consumer data. Where a name and employer appear publicly but no address does, it generates candidate addresses from the organisation's known pattern, then validates deliverability and assigns a confidence score. Hunter states it does not sell personal data, honours deletion requests and recognises browser opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control.
Not advertised. Hunter's published product set covers Domain Search, Email Finder, Email Verifier, Discover, Campaigns and a Data Platform API. Mobile numbers, intent data and LinkedIn sending are not part of it, so teams needing those pair Hunter with another tool.
One of these tools is ours.
Weezly is in this directory too: LinkedIn outreach with AI clone videos, a 300M+ leads database and booking, from $59 per month. See if it earns a spot in your stack.
