- Very good accuracy in finding european emails (Majority of tools are focused in US market);- Very good email validator that is instant (Normally we need to wait to validate emails, but hunter is very fast);- API & Integrations - We automate everything and hunter let's you do that with pratically every tool. If you don't have an integration, just use the API that is very fast and responsive;- Bulk uploads of csv's
- It would be cool to enrich person based on linkedin url only, instead of needing to have the domain of the company
Hi Pedro, Laura here from the Customer Success team at Hunter. Thank you so much for your kind review.

Amazing experience with Hunter would like to see integrations with more tools.
I love the UI-UX and Leads Management feature & EMail campaigns Follow-ups with the EMail verifier tool that confirms the credibility
Would love to see LinkedIn email finder features again with save lead option directly in the CRM or add Linkedin Campaigns to send messages to LinkedIn connections.

So far my experience is very positive and we can manage our leads fully within Hunter. Although whilst in its current state, our cold marketing workflow requires a few workarounds, with a few improvements, Hunter will massively increase our efficiency compared to working with spreadsheets and CSVs.
The quality of the bulk domain email search results The Leads and Campaigns features make it a one stop shop for cold marketing campaigns Custom fields for Leads and Attributes (with caveats, see what I like least)
Lead filtering could be further developed to make it quicker and simpler to discard unwanted email addresses, for example, anything containing the term, "info@" Custom fields (columns) cannot be used as a Leads filter, making them somewhat pointless. The inability to bulk edit Leads is frustrating because editing a field one by one on a bulk domain search is not really an option for 1000s of leads.

I can usually find the right person to call, but their phone number and email are not as easy. Hunter helps me find their email!
It's not entirely intuitive when I'm looking for the domain name.

Hunter is a good tool for those looking for the best bang for their buck, but if you separated each feature, there are better individual tools on the market
The fact that Hunter connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive is essential to my workflow. Easy to export enriched lead lists, no manual data entry
Very expensive compared to other e-mail finding tools but also more inclusive. Also concerns about GDPR regulations and parameters behind the tool's data extraction methods

Overall we've grown our database, generated leads and new revenue. It's paid for itself many times over. I highlight recommend for small business owners.
Ease of use, clean UI/ UX, value and quality of leads helps you get the most ROI.
Since you're not able to generate leads from all websites perhaps offering an alternative option would help. The Email Verifier works ok.

Being a start-up with tight budgets we had limited sales channel to generate revenue. We hired a small team of fresh graduate and used Hunter to source leads. The process worked very well for the two reasons:1. Hunter helped us find emails for anyone in the world very easily2. The emails generated got deliver to the right person that ultimately became a hot prospect for us.
Hunter is an ideal tool for companies that solely rely on cold outreach for sales. It can not only help you find emails for your prospects but it can also help you verify these emails. All you have to do is type in a person's name and the company that he works. Hunter.io will source the email for that person in seconds. You can also do a bulk upload to verify hundreds in a single click.
At times, even the verified emails are incorrect and you might not even know unless you send them. This becomes a problem if you were to send email sequences.

Data base is quite large. Can usually find what I'm looking for.
Sometimes does not have e-mail addresses.
Hi Douglas, Laura here from Hunter, I just wanted to quickly reach out and thank you for sharing your feedback with us! It makes us very happy to see that you can find the contacts you're looking for. I think it's important to mention that Hunter can only find what is publicly available on the web, therefore, the results depend on the web presence of the companies you research but it might also happen that, for smaller or recently established domains, we may not always have results yet. At present, we list over 107M professional emails and this number is constantly growing: https://hunter.io/our-data We're always working hard to expand our dataset and improve our customers' experiences. Thanks again and all the best! Laura - Customer Success @ Hunter.io

Hunter has been a go to tool for me for the past 6+ years. I use it for recruiting and business development. It is one tool that remains cost effective (most tools in this space have abandoned a fair price point). Our team cannot live without Hunter. Their new signals platform also shows a lot of promise. It's nice they still roll out so many good features!
I love the accuracy of Hunter, since their algorithm pulls data from the open web. They do not rely on too much assumption. Their customer service is also very responsive and top notch.
I wish LinkedIn would ease up on their terms of service, so I could use this in conjunction with LinkedIn profiles again.

I have used hunter.io many times in the past to build effective marketing campaigns. The product allows me to find the contact info of key people inside of most organizations i may be researching.
Hunter.io is limited in it's functionality. But it does exactly what it is designed to do in my experience.

Hunter is simple to use, fairly priced and the most accurate email finding tool out there according to my experience with other similar tools
My team uses Hunter for years in order to find emails and outreach to the proper person. I prefer Hunter from other tools as I found out that most email-finding tools sometimes come up with wrong email addresses. That's not the case with Hunter as 90% of the time its results are accurate
While probably the best email-finding tool it's far from perfect. Sometimes the email addresses are wrong but I guess that's acceptable
Hey there, Samara here from Hunter! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We do have an Email Verifier to verify the emails. I would recommend verifying your emails with our Email Verifier tool (https://hunter.io/verify) so that you can know if the emails are valid or not beforehand. Our Free and paid plans also come with a number of verification requests that you can use for just that. If you have any other questions on verifying emails to check for accuracy or if we can help with anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Success team at contact@hunter.io. Thanks again, we appreciate you!

Hunter is generally regarded as a reliable and valuable tool for finding and verifying email addresses. I appreciate the ease of use, extensive database, and the efficiency it brings to their email outreach efforts. The platform's user-friendly interface and straightforward search functionality make it accessible even to those without advanced technical skills.
One of the standout features of Hunter is their extensive and accurate database. Whether I needed to find email addresses or verify existing ones, Hunter consistently delivered reliable results. And made my work much more efficient and saved me valuable time.
I don't find any cons in hunter. Hunter made my marketing easy.

My overall experience with Hunter is good. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a tool to extract emails from websites and perhaps wants to do this for free. On the other hand, there's more features for those who need more advanced features as well.
I personally only used Hunter to extract emails from websites. I believe there's also a possibility to add contacts for various lists, but this is limited for the free version. I do like that even the free version has quite some possibilities and you can still get a good amount of leads each month without having to pay anything for "yet another tool". So that's good.
The software isn't perfect. It doesn't always see email addresses. I believe it's easier for .com domains, rather than local domains like .be and .nl, which is what is most relevant to me and my target audience.
Hi Senne! Samara here from Hunter. Thank you for submitting your review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying using Hunter and the Free plan.

I recently found a couple of emails for individuals that Hunter did not show or their email had not been verified yet. I asked CSR if Hunter would be interested in receiving those that I had sent and were deliverable. He responded by reminding me that Hunter's FIRST PRIORITY is the quality and sourcing of their data and that they remain compliant. That's AMAZING!!! Most companies out there would take what I had and add the contacts immediately just based on their being deliverable! That shows integrity, honesty & transparency.. what more could you ask from an email data provider!!
It is so easy to use and returns results quickly. I've just recently realized I can use it to find individuals on LinkedIn, too, so now it's TWICE as useful as before! Before, I had LinkedIn Sales Navigator and could enter contact names into Hunter and come up with an email. Now that I've stopped paying for SN, I pull up what Hunter shows for contacts and enter them into LI to verify they are still at the company and in a decision-maker position.
I haven't run across anything I don't like about Hunter!

Experience is quite good - our overall experience has been "very good" to date.
We like the email domain lookup function of hunter.io that allows our sales development team to generate leads. The freemium plan offers a lot of value.
Not sure if it is integrated, we would welcome a verification tools that can confirm email would not bounce. Currently we use another software for that purpose. Reducing email bounce is critical feature in sales automation nowadays, at with machine learning (artificial intelligence) most mail router will ascribe a lower score to the our mail server if we push erroneous email in our outbound (email) campaigns

Finding an email address of a contact you have found on LinkedIn is easy with Hunter, it speeds the whole process up.
The plug-in scrapes the internet and identifies email address's from posts/websites etc and then gives a best guess as to the standard format of that companies domain/website. It has a great single click copy function to speed up the process of copy/paste for emailing. you can also bulk download.
Sometimes companies use a different domain for emails, e.g. their website is .com but they use .co.uk for emails, hunter doesn't currently address that but I guess they can't as its not a live domain.

Totally a must have for my team and I. No more spamming, reach the contact you want directly.
In sales and marketing, I’m always looking for a good way to speak to POC. This is a great way to test emails for valid address, create marketing list for newsletters to separate groups and multiple people in the same organization. I use this tool daily to verify and export lists to other emailing software for marketing purposes.
Totally bummed that this no longer integrates with sales navigator on linked in. That was the most amazing tool when networking on that platform.

Takes out the hassle of finding contact details within an organization. Saves time and complemented with a chrome plugin that works well.
Beautifully designed solution to find contact details. An essential solution for outreach campaigns. The chrome extension is very useful for ongoing research.
Lack of integration options for popular CRMs. Few integrations available to help with the automation of gathering information.
Hi Joseph! Samara here from Hunter. Thank you for submitting your review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying using Hunter for your cold outreach efforts.

If you're looking for some professional email addresses every now and then, you may get by with the free tool on their sites. It's a very powerful method of finding addresses to contacts you have no connection with.
Hunter allows you to find email addresses from organizations based on their domain name. It's a good starting point if that is all the information you have. They are able to share these addresses with transparency as they use public sources to collect the email addresses.
There is some extra verification process that needs to take place once you find an email address. While Hunter providers a confidence score, you'll want to do an additional step of verifying emails yourself so you know that your email will be delivered to the correct address.
Hey there, Samara here from Hunter! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. In case it helps, we do have an Email Verifier to verify the emails.

A great, good tool for outreaching and giving good results,
Easy to use and email results are very accurate.
How the leads lists are set up, compared to other tools as I find that part more streamlined. As well as the statistics you can see for a campaign. Would also be great if you can see unique domains you have and not only the amount of emails being sent.

Hunter.io fits best when we need to extract professional email addresses along with detailed research on any intended company.
Hunter has an inbuilt search engine through which a user can extract email addresses and company details by submitting the intended company's web address, which is the best-liked thing about this app.
Hunter.io now has removed a feature that would allow a user to search and verify professional email addresses from the LinkedIn profile link.

Easy to use , up to date, excellent customer support, really useful. Trustworthy. Email addresses that were not easy to find as part of my job as a data entry freelancer, can be easily found using Hunter. It is one of the most trustworthy softwares as well as very easy to use.
I cannot find anything I don't like. I think that indeed it is reliable, which is the most important part of my work when researching contact infi.

The software recently added the BULK feature which saves me a great deal of time generating leads. The finder section also helps me identify potential emails by just using the person's first and last name.
Sometimes I find email leads on google search engine that are not on the software, an integration of the two can lead to larger volumes of verified leads. I would go as far as to suggest a collab with the sales navigator offer on Linkedin, the could offer customers more background to the potential leads.
