Hunter.io Reviews 294

Hunter.io does exactly what it claims, and that matters. It helps you find and verify email addresses quickly, with clear confidence scores that actually hold up. The interface is simple, the data is solid, and it saves real time if you do any outreach at scale. I especially like that it reduces bounce rates and guesswork, which protects deliverability. Not magic, but reliable, practical, and well built. If email outreach is part of your workflow, this is a smart tool to have.

I ran a test on Hunter.io before we used the service. I ran a search on the firm I currently work at. Over 50% of the names & email addresses listed on Hunter.io NO LONGER WORK AT THE FIRM.

If you think you are getting accurate data, you are not. Go somewhere else.

hunter is an easy platform and helped me scrape emails for my agency. I would recommend this email scraper to anyone actively looking for one!

On time customer support

Hunter is so easy to use and typically is very accurate when I need contact information for a prospect. I recommend Hunter regularly and hope it keeps getting even better!

Using this for a long time for email verification and reducing the bounce rate of my email campaigns. This has one of the biggest and reliable databases for email verification. It has never failed to deliver.

They have a lack of customer goodwill and inaccurate data. They only seek to try to upsell you on yearly plans. When you cancel, they offer 50% off for 6 months, yet customer success uses an AI ChatBot to waste your time and only offer 10% on a yearly plan. Their policies are designed and built on to profit when you do not conduct searches on their databases, their main goal is to get you to subscribe, and they profit when you forget to use them. Even Amazon, Make.com, Apollo, etc did not give me this experience.

Hunter does not allow the import of leads into a damn campaign, can only create new ones. This game has cost me a lot of time, beware!

Excellent product and great customer service

Hunter's customer service is consistently excellent, something that has become all too rare in recent years. Their support team is very professional, responsive and helpful, following up quickly, thoroughly and positively.

Fantastic UX, amazing support, ethical leadership. I'm thoroughly impressed by Hunter so far.

I've been using Hunter.io on and off for the past two months, and I'm genuinely impressed by its accuracy.

I'd recommend anyone in sales or outreach give it a try; the results speak for themselves.

I have used the free version of Hunter for years and it's an excellent product, it's always been excellent and it only improves

Before you verify any e-mails, you better make sure they're all verified, cause hunter will charge you for EVERY SINGLE query, even the unknown ones.

Even though it explicitly says "You won't be charged for duplicates or unknown results" before you try to verify.

This is by definition misleading, and very scummy.

Better read the fine print before using this very overpriced, scummy software.

07/11/2025 EDIT: The reply to this comment is a lie, the way the system charges per verification is extremely misleading.

The reply below claims 0.5 credits per verification, well I'm looking at it right now and it says 1 credit per verification, it is very inconsistent.

Furthermore they claim not to charge for "unknowns" and "duplicates". This is semi-true, very misleading yet again.

They WILL charge you for every single attempt at verification, even if the result comes back with nothing.

Snov.io for example does this fairly, they only charge for succesful verifications + catch-alls, which is what Hunter.io claims to be doing, but it's a lie, there's probably some fineprint hidden in the terms and conditions.

Don't use this service, there's so many better options out there.

a great tool over all

Annoyed that I paid $150 for membership for 3 months which gave me credits. I then cancelled my subscription as I had been busy and did not use the credits fast enough. They then removed my credits that I had paid for. I got almost no value.
Using their leads and system, not one email response when the same email sent directly had a 30% response rate. Their support usually took more than 10 hours to respond to queries. All in all, disappointing experience. I contacted them about this experience and asked for my credits to be reinstated so I could have used them, which would have kept me as a customer and when I had used them I would have started my subscription again. they just kept arguing. Really poor customer service. Refused to give me my credits and just told me to resubscribe. Half the time bots reply instead of a real person from customer service. Now I read the other reviews of people who they refused to refund or give back their credits I can see a pattern.

Impressive customer success team - they reached out pro-actively based on some sub-par results I was having with my input lists and within a day helped me optimize my input to achieve >65% success rate

Still working on understanding the system, I am a newbie on this stuff, but currently working perfectly well. But the main reason for 5 stars is the great help center, quick replies and actions. Very friendly. I definitely recommend it.

It's the best in terms of value for money and reliability. None of its competitors even come close.

Hunter is indeed an eye opener.
