When Hunter.io is the right call

Where Hunter.io is the better buy

Every product has a job it is built for. These are the jobs where Hunter.io is the answer and we are not, said plainly so you can tell in two minutes whether the rest of this page applies to you.

If the job is finding addresses, not checking them

Hunter's core product is discovery: give it a domain, get back every address it knows. That is a different job from ours and it is why most people buy Hunter.

Worth knowing before you choose on price — their credits work out at about $0.017 each against our $0.0032, so if you are actually buying verification, you are paying discovery rates for it.

If you need the directory, not the verdict

Their index is years of crawling and accumulated corrections, and there is no shortcut to that.

We do not publish a comparable directory and are not trying to — we check the address you already have, against the mailbox and the domain's SPF, DMARC and DKIM posture, for a fifth of the per-credit price.

If fifty credits a month is your whole usage

Theirs recurs at 50 credits a month forever. Ours is 200 credits a month, spendable across phone, email, IP and domain, no card.
