Hunter
B2B email finder and verifier with credit-based plans and a generous free tier.
Hunter is a B2B email-finder and lead enrichment platform that helps founders, agencies, and sales teams source verified email addresses for cold outreach. Pricing is credit-based across five tiers: Free (50 search credits/mo), Starter ($49/mo, 2,000 credits), Growth ($149/mo, 10,000 credits), Scale ($299/mo, 25,000 credits), and a custom Enterprise option. All paid tiers receive a 30% discount when billed annually. Beyond email finding, Hunter bundles auto-verification, a Discover B2B database with filters, an AI Writing Assistant for cold sequences, and Inbox Protection to safeguard deliverability. Email account allocation scales from 1 on Free up to 20 on Scale, and Scale unlocks unlimited Signals plus larger sequence recipient caps.

Where Hunter earns its price
- Generous Free tier (50 credits/mo) lets buyers fully test the product before paying
- Transparent published per-tier credit allocations and pricing across all plans
- 30% annual discount across all paid tiers (Starter through Scale)
- AI Writing Assistant included on Starter and above for cold sequence drafting
- Inbox Protection bundled in paid plans helps protect deliverability for cold outreach
Where it falls short
- Credit-based pricing makes total cost variable depending on actual usage patterns
- 1 email account on the Free tier is restrictive for any real outreach work
- Smaller B2B database than ZoomInfo or Apollo at the high end of the market
- Scale tier price ($299/mo) approaches lower-end ZoomInfo seats for less data depth
Best for
- Founders doing personalized B2B outreach to small lead lists
- Agencies running outreach campaigns for SMB clients
- Sales teams wanting an email-finder and verifier in a single tool
Not for
- Enterprise sales orgs that need ZoomInfo-grade data depth
- Teams that don't run cold outreach (use a CRM instead)
- Buyers who want unlimited credits at any price (use ZoomInfo or Apollo Unlimited)
