What do you like best about Hunter?

I remember years ago, when filling out an ad for saleforce. I filled out the online form and a few seconds later, the phone rang and Salesforce was on the other end and thought wow that was impressive.

This morning I expercied the same feeling, while exploring features of Hunter.io, a chat button appeared and a short 5 min video about the feature was offered...again, I thought wow that was impressive. Through out my experience with hunter.io the customer service has been bubbling over with useful tips and constant contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hunter?

On a single sample of 30 email, the performance indicators were not perfect. When asked, customer service was able to explain why they were not perfect and explained outside of hunter.io control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hunter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finder and Bulk email for lead gen, however will begin to use campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hunter?

I love how easy the tool is to navigate. It's a clean user interface makes it easy to find email addresses for LinkedIn connections. You also get a really lovely chance to try out the product at the free tier, so you have a feel for what you're getting before entering credit card details. I also like the ability to save all your leads in one list. It makes it easy to look at the data you've gathered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hunter?

I wish there was a little more transparency about the algorithm used to determine the percent confidence about the accuracy of the email address. I'm not sure how that percentage is calculated and I'd like to know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hunter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I connect with a lot of leads on LinkedIn, but I don't always have their email address. I also have contacts that have switched jobs and I only have their email address from their previous employer. Hunter helps keep my contacts updated in my CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Giovanni Lepori of Hunter

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying our user interface. We designed Hunter to be as user-friendly as possible, so it’s fantastic to know you find it easy to navigate. We’re also happy to hear that the free plan gave you a chance to explore the tool before committing to a paid plan.

Regarding the Confidence score, please feel free to contact us at contact@hunter.io. We’d be happy to provide more details on how it works.

Your feedback means a lot to us. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

What do you like best about Hunter?

I primarily use Hunter for straightforward, quick verification of emails, not in bulk, but more in a manual mode. The company search feature also works excellently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hunter?

Nothing comes to mind at this point, especially considering that they are quite generous with their free plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hunter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hunter helps me quickly verify whether client email addresses are still valid, especially for those I haven't contacted in a long time. I also use it occasionally to obtain emails for several potential clients. However, I mainly use it individually and customarily, without automation or bulk sending Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hunter?

I love how clean it is, and I like how you can do alot more than just verify emails on the platform. Most verification platforms are really painful to use, and Hunter makes it easy without the clutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hunter?

When it comes to just the verification part, it's wayy too expensive.. There's tools like ClearOut that do alot of what Hunter does for alot cheaper. I think they should price email verification out seperately instead of merging it into an all-in-one price subscription. When even comparing them to Bouncer which is priced a bit higher for example. It's like 5x more expensive. You only get 1,000 verifications for $49 or 10,000 for $149, where Bouncer is $35 for 5,000 and $60 for 10,000 verifications. The pricing just doesn't make sense. I don't recommend Hunter for anyone unless you're using it for free with less than 25 tests per month, or on the absolute lowest tier if you want to use their other features.

Response from Giovanni Lepori of Hunter

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you appreciate Hunter’s clean design and versatility.

We understand that $49 may seem high if you’re only using Hunter for verifications, as this plan includes many other features. That’s why we're about to launch new data plans specifically for verification-only use cases, offering exactly what you need at a competitive price.

We hope this better meets your needs!

What do you like best about Hunter?

I have only been a user of Hunter.io services for about 7 months and in that time I've had to call on their customer service twice and I will tell you that if you want a company that genuinely values their customers, meaning: you are important to them, then these are the people you want to turn to. They are absolutely top tier in the information domain game, but still pay attention enough that they went out of their way to reach out to me as soon as I had a problem, and then were quick with follow up to ensure that the problem was resolved. I will definitely recommend to anyone who asks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hunter?

No downsides. Affordable options and even provide a Free plan for new users to explore the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hunter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work in Cyber Security so this is primarily a research tool providing foundational information for me to move forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Giovanni Lepori of Hunter

Hi Silvia,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear that Hunter is helping you find the leads you’re looking for!

I just wanted to clarify that 1 Search Credit allows you to find up to 10 emails per domain or company in our Domain Search tool. This means you can gather 10 leads for each company with a single credit.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at contact@hunter.io- we’d be happy to help.

Thanks again for your feedback; it means a lot to us!
