email-validation.org vs Hunter

• Their free credits renew every month (50 credits, or 100 verifications). Our 500 free credits are a one-time grant.
• Monthly plans suit steady, predictable volumes. We sell one-time packs only.
• A longer track record: our launch month is November 2026.
• Features we did not compare here, such as native integrations with other tools. Check their site for those.

• Our credits expire 24 months after they are granted; Hunter: monthly credits reset and do not roll over.
• We sell one-time credit packs, not monthly plans.
• Every account gets 500 free credits, and the first three payments earn bonus credits. See pricing.
• Developer tools: OpenAPI 3.1, JavaScript/TypeScript and Python SDKs, webhooks and an MCP server.

• We read each service's public pricing page on Oct 20, 2026 and recorded the list price of one-time packs at 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 1,000,000 credits. A dash means no pack of that size is listed.
• Free credits, credit expiry and unknown-result billing come from the same pricing page, unless the sources name another page of that service where we read the policy. A policy we could not confirm on a page we opened is shown as not stated.
• Limited-time promotions are left out and named in the sources. Per-1,000 prices are the pack price divided by its credits.
• Prices in USD, excluding tax. VAT or sales tax is added at checkout where applicable. Other services' prices are shown as listed; where a service says its prices include tax, the sources say so.
• We compare published prices and policies only. We do not rank services or claim that any of them is the best.
• We re-check every price at least every 45 days and update the date above.

• Hunter: hunter.io/pricing, checked Oct 20, 2026. Unknown results: hunter.io/email-verifier. Subscription, not packs: Starter $49/month for 4,000 verifications, Growth $149/month for 20,000, Scale $299/month for 50,000.
