Hunter.io pricing: what a team really pays

Hunter Growth costs $149 a month billed monthly. Every Hunter plan includes unlimited users, so your whole team shares one pool of credits. Credits, not seats, set your bill.

That makes Hunter cheap for a team. It also makes Hunter strict once you pay.

Cancel and you get no refund. Auto-renewal catches you if you forget. Hunter can reprice after a month’s warning.

If you run outreach for a small sales team, price Growth first. If you are one person finding a few hundred emails, Starter is enough. If you only want to try the data, Free gives you 50 credits a month.

Hunter’s pricing page lists no trial length and no refund window. Your test is a free account or one paid month. You can cancel in your dashboard.

Mailboxes, credit packs and Inbox Protection cost extra on every plan. Hunter skips disposable addresses when you verify them. It charges no credit for those. Some buyers do better on Apollo or Snov.io.

A team pays one plan price on Hunter, and credits set the bill

Five people on one Hunter plan pay the plan price once. Hunter’s FAQ lets you add team members at no extra cost. Everyone draws from the same credit pool.

Growth includes 10,000 credits a month on monthly billing. Pay yearly and Growth costs $104 a month. Hunter bills $1,248 once, which is 30% off. Hunter grants the year’s credits upfront.

Hunter’s FAQ counts credits this way:

• One credit for each email found by Domain Search, Email Finder or Bulk Email Finder.
• One credit for up to ten emails found by Bulk Domain Search.
• Half a credit for each email you verify.
• No credit when a search finds nothing or verification returns Unknown.

Repeat lookups cost you nothing extra. Hunter counts the same search once per billing period. Credits count the same in the web app, API, extension and Sheets add-on.

Credits and mailboxes push the bill past the plan price

Seats cost nothing. Credits and mailboxes are your two sums. Hunter’s pricing page lists these charges outside the plan:

• Credit packs: 1,000 Search credits cost $50.00. 1,000 Verification credits cost $11.00.
• Mailboxes: Growth connects 10 email accounts. Extra accounts start from $10/mo each. Custom domains with email accounts start from $6.00/mo each.
• Inbox Protection: from $6.00/mo per email account.

Hunter’s page gives no overage rule if you run dry mid-month. Ask support before you count on a pack.

Hunter renews on its own and refunds nothing when you cancel

Hunter’s terms of service are firm on money after you pay. They say “Your monthly or annual subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel it.” Cancel before your billing period ends if you want out.

On refunds, Hunter writes: “Hunter does not provide refunds to users who request cancellation of Services, regardless of the reason for the request.” A yearly plan is a prepayment you cannot get back.

Cancelling works, but late. The terms say “the cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period.” Hunter’s FAQ lets you cancel in your dashboard at any time. You keep premium access until the cycle ends.

On price changes, Hunter reserves the right to change “payment terms and fees upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.” That notice is all you get before a new fee applies.

One clause covers Hunter ending your access. Then Hunter refunds the unused prepaid portion within 30 days. You get no refund window of your own.

Hunter’s terms give no contract term beyond the billing cycle. Registered non-profits can ask for 30% off monthly plans. You need 501(c) status in the US and documents emailed to Hunter. You cannot combine it with other promotions.

Trustpilot rates Hunter 4.3, and Reddit threads set it against Apollo

Hunter holds 4.3 on Trustpilot from 355 reviews, as of 2026-11-05. Of those, 302 are five-star and 32 are one-star.

Six praise the support team. One credits the Email Verifier with cutting bounces. One likes Sequences for cold email.

Reddit buyers in r/coldemail and r/sales weigh Hunter against Apollo. Their busiest threads ask which tool finds emails best. Others ask whether scraping from either one hurts your campaigns.

That tells you the real choice is Hunter or Apollo. Test Hunter’s data on your free credits before you pay.

Starter suits one sender, Growth a team, and Scale heavy volume

Free suits you if you want to try the data. It gives 50 credits a month and basic Discover filters. You connect 1 email account and send to 500 recipients per sequence. Support is regular.

Free lacks auto-verification, lead enrichment and the AI Writing Assistant. They start on Starter.

Starter suits one person starting outreach. You get 2,000 credits a month, 3 email accounts, advanced Discover filters and priority support. Sequences take 2,500 recipients.

Growth suits a team that sends from several mailboxes. Its 10,000 monthly credits come with 10 email accounts. Sequences take 5,000 recipients, and Signals reach 200.

Scale costs $299 a month and suits heavy sending. You get 25,000 credits a month, 20 email accounts and 15,000 recipients per sequence. Signals are unlimited. You also get an account manager.

Enterprise has no public price. Hunter sends you to sales with the line “Need more? Tell us about your plans.” Credits and email accounts are custom.

AI searches in Discover scale with the plan. Free gets 30 a month and Starter 150. Growth gets 450 and Scale 900. They sit apart from credits, which cover Email Finder, Email Verifier and Domain Search.

If you need Hunter once to export a list, skip the annual plan. Take one paid month and cancel.

Apollo wins on a per-rep allowance, and Snov.io on entry price and trial

Hunter wins when your team is large and your volume is moderate. A rival wins if you want a free trial first. A rival also wins if each rep needs a separate allowance.

Apollo Professional costs $99 per seat per month billed monthly. Five seats cost $495 a month. Hunter Growth is $149 on the same monthly billing.

Each Apollo seat holds 48,000 credits a year, granted upfront. The two vendors count credits differently. Compare your real volume.

Apollo lists a 14-day trial. Hunter lists none.

Apollo’s terms call subscriptions non-cancelable during the term, with payments nonrefundable. Hunter refunds nothing either, but you can cancel in your dashboard any time. Read Apollo’s plans before you pick for a team.

If you want a week free first, Snov.io suits you. Its Starter costs $39 a month with 1,000 credits and a 7-day trial. Hunter Starter costs $49 a month with 2,000 credits. Snov.io Pro S costs $99 for 5,000 credits.

Snov.io has its own catch. LinkedIn account slots cost $69 a month each, outside the plan price. Its subscription fees are non-refundable. See Snov.io’s plans and our contact data guide for the wider field.

Start on a monthly plan and cancel if the data fails you

Start monthly, and go yearly only once your credit use is steady. Add up mailboxes and packs in the true cost tool, then price Apollo or Snov.io.
