Hunter review: pricing, limits and verdict
Hunter is a lead database, cold email sequencer and data enrichment tool. Its cheapest paid plan is Starter at $49 per month billed monthly, priced per workspace. In our default scenario (50 inboxes, 40 emails per inbox per day, 50,000 prospects) Hunter is not ranked because no published plan covers it (the vendor quotes larger plans on request).

Research notes on Hunter's pricing page
Hunter is primarily an email-finder/B2B database; its sequencing product (Sequences, formerly Campaigns) is included in every plan rather than sold separately. Plan prices are per workspace with unlimited team members ('Unlimited team members' on every tier); credits are shared across the team. Annual figures: page shows e.g. '$49 / $34 /month' with '$588 / $408 billed yearly' and a 'Pay yearly -30%' toggle, so $49 is billed monthly and $34/mo is billed yearly. Credits are the core unit (1 credit = 1 email found, 0.5 credit = 1 verification) and are the same pool used for Email Finder, Email Verifier and Domain Search, so verification is included but has no separate credit allowance. Sequencing limits on the page: connected email accounts 1/3/10/20/Custom and 'Recipients per sequence' 500/2,500/5,000/15,000/Custom; 'Saved Leads' 100,000/2,000,000/10,000,000/30,000,000 was used for active_leads. No emails-per-month or per-day sending cap is published. Add-ons are stated only as 'from' prices: additional email accounts from $10/month and managed custom domains & email accounts from $6.00/mo; 'Inbox Protection' and 'Credit Packs' add-ons have no price on the page. A separate 'Data Platform' API-only offer is priced via a calculator (default shown: $6,500.00 for 1,000 search + 200,000 verification credits) and is not a sequencing plan, so it is not recorded. Free trial length is not stated (the free plan is the trial). G2 rating comes from an explicitly timestamped Wayback capture (2026-02-01) because the most recent capture of the G2 URL (2026-09-05) is a 403 page.
