Hunter vs Snov.io
Snov.io costs less to start: Starter is $39 a month billed monthly (checked Oct 26, 2026) for 1,000 credits and 5,000 recipients a month, with email warm-up, a CRM and campaigns. Hunter's Starter is $49 a month billed monthly (checked Oct 26, 2026) and gives 2,000 credits a month, twice as many, with sequences sent from up to three connected inboxes. Both have a free plan with 50 credits a month, and both say payments aren't refunded. If finding and checking addresses is most of the job, Hunter's Starter gives twice the credits for $10 more a month; if you also want warm-up, a CRM or LinkedIn campaigns, Snov.io covers more of the outreach.
