Hunter

Category: Lead Gen/Data

Email finding and verification, billed in pounds.

Hunter finds and verifies professional email addresses, which remains the single most reliable thing it does. It covers domain search for everyone at a company, email finder for a named person, bulk verification, a lightweight campaign sender and a browser extension. Newer additions include a B2B company database, buying intent signals and an AI writing assistant. There is a first-party remote MCP server, documented on their own API pages, authenticated with an API key and metered against your credit allowance. It is a French company with an opt-out register, and it publishes pound pricing with unlimited seats on every plan.

Our verdict

Does one thing extremely well, and verification is the part worth paying for, because a clean list protects your sending reputation more than any other single action. The deliverability saving alone usually justifies it. Unlimited seats on every plan is unusually generous, and pound pricing with a French operating entity makes it an easy procurement for a UK buyer. The remote MCP server metered against your existing credits is sensible. Two limits. Credits do not roll over, so an uneven month wastes allowance. And the data itself is pattern-inferred and crawled rather than consented, so while Hunter operates an opt-out register and sits in the EU, your Article 14 transparency notice and legitimate interests assessment remain your responsibility rather than theirs. The newer database and intent features are competent but not a reason to choose it over the specialists.

Best for: Anyone who needs to verify email addresses before sending, and small teams doing targeted rather than high-volume outreach.
