Hunter bundles a B2B database, email finding and verification, and a sequencer into one per-account price: Starter at $34 a month billed annually carries 2,000 credits, charged at 1 per email found and 0.5 per verification.

The pool, not the seat price: credits reset monthly without rollover on monthly billing, verification draws the same pool at 0.5 credits a check, and per-account add-ons (extra slots from $10/month, managed accounts, inbox protection) stack on top of the plan.
Price record · 2026-11-07: Checked 2026-11-07 on hunter.io/pricing, read in full with both billing states shown on the page: Free $0 / 50 credits a month; Starter $49 billed monthly or $34 billed annually ($408/year) / 2,000 credits a month; Growth $149 / $104 ($1,248/year) / 10,000; Scale $299 / $209 ($2,508/year) / 25,000; Enterprise custom. The FAQ on the same page states the meter in text: 1 credit per email found via Domain Search, Email Finder or Bulk Email Finder (1 credit covers up to 10 emails in Bulk Domain Search), 0.5 credits per verified email, no charge when nothing is found or verification fails, duplicate searches counted once per billing period, unlimited users sharing the pool, credits resetting monthly without rollover while annual plans receive all credits up front.
The same fields on every deep listing in this job, so agents compare field by field. “Not verified” means our research has not confirmed it yet — it never means “doesn't have it.”
As of November 2026, Hunter is an all-in-one outreach platform built around one simple job: finding professional email addresses you can trust, then sending to them. You search its B2B database (Discover) with firmographic filters and buying signals, run Domain Search or Email Finder against a company or a name, and verify addresses before you send — every result is auto-verified on paid plans. Around that core sit lead enrichment, an AI assistant inside Discover, weekly new-lead suggestions, and Sequences, Hunter's own email outreach tool with connected sending accounts, rotation, A/B testing and reporting. The meter is published in plain text on the pricing page: an email found costs 1 credit, a verification costs 0.5 credits, and failed finds or failed verifications cost nothing. Plans are priced per account with unlimited users sharing one credit pool — Free gives 50 credits a month, Starter is $49 a month billed monthly or $34 a month billed annually for 2,000 credits a month, and the ladder rises through Growth and Scale to a custom Enterprise tier. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over on monthly billing; annual plans make the whole year's credits available up front. For a solo founder the appeal is focus: fewer features than the big suites, but the find-verify-send loop in one place, with add-ons like managed email accounts and inbox protection only if you want them.
No-code 5 mirrors the listed rating: connect an account and search. Setup mirrors the listed under-one-hour rating. Human control mirrors 'acts + logs everything': sequences send on your configuration while finds, verifications and replies stay visible to you. Pricing clarity mirrors the legacy rating: the meter is published in plain text, but credits, resets and add-ons need modelling.
The difference: Apollo prices per seat and bundles a larger database with dialer and intent data; Hunter prices per account with unlimited users and a simpler find-verify meter.
The difference: Lusha is data-only and charges 5 credits for a phone number; Hunter charges 0.5 credits for a verification and includes the sending tool.
The difference: Instantly is sending-first with flat mailbox pricing and credits sold separately; Hunter bundles database, verification and sequences in one credit pool.
One credit finds one email through Domain Search, Email Finder or the bulk finder, and half a credit verifies one email; bulk domain search charges 1 credit for up to 10 emails. If Hunter finds nothing or cannot verify, no credit is charged, and the same search is counted once per billing period.
Starter is $49 a month billed monthly or $34 a month billed annually ($408 a year), with 2,000 credits a month and unlimited users sharing the pool. That covers roughly 500 to 2,000 prospects a month depending on how much verification you run.
Not on monthly plans — credits reset each month. On annual plans all credits for the year are available up front, which suits seasonal prospecting better than a monthly drip.
Yes. Sequences is Hunter's built-in outreach tool with connected email accounts, rotation, A/B testing and tracking, capped by recipients per sequence (500 on Free, 2,500 on Starter). It is email-only — there are no native LinkedIn steps.
Hunter is not in a published stack yet — stacks are edited buying guides, and memberships are added only when the combination has been worked through.
