Hunter

Domain search and email finder with a permanent free plan

Overview

Hunter is one of the best-known dedicated email finders. It was launched in 2015 by Antoine Finkelstein and François Grante and has operated as a remote team across Europe, America and Asia since the start.[2] The company reports more than seven million user accounts.[2][1] Its core tools are Domain Search, which lists the publicly found addresses at a company domain, Email Finder, which predicts and verifies a named person’s address, and Email Verifier; around these it has added Discover (a company search), Sequences for cold e-mail, Signals, TechLookup, browser and Google Sheets add-ons, an API and an MCP server for AI agents.[1]

Hunter’s credit rules are simple: one credit per e-mail found through Domain Search or Email Finder, one credit for up to ten addresses in Bulk Domain Search, and half a credit per verification, with repeat searches counted once per billing period.[1] All paid plans allow unlimited team members sharing one credit pool.[1]

Prices on the pricing page reviewed for this list were displayed in euros. The free plan includes 50 credits a month; Starter is €49 per month (€34 a month billed yearly) for 2,000 credits, Growth €149 (€104) for 10,000 and Scale €299 (€209) for 25,000.[1] Credits do not roll over on monthly billing. Hunter’s main limitation is that it focuses on e-mail: it does not sell phone numbers.
