Better value for verification

Hunter.io starts at $49/mo for 500 verifications ($0.098/email). SendSure starts at $5 for 1,000 verifications ($0.005/email) — nearly 20x cheaper per verification.

More verification features

SendSure includes deliverability testing, blacklist monitoring, form widget, CRM sync, and GDPR tools. Hunter focuses on email finding with basic verification as an add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use Hunter.io or SendSure?

If you need to find email addresses, Hunter.io is a good tool. If you need to verify email addresses you already have (list cleaning, form validation, API verification), SendSure provides much deeper accuracy at a fraction of the cost.

Can I use both together?

Yes! Many teams use Hunter.io to find emails and SendSure to verify them before adding to their CRM. This gives you the best of both worlds — broad discovery and deep verification.

How does verification accuracy compare?

SendSure's 27-stage engine provides significantly deeper verification than Hunter's basic check. Hunter marks many valid emails as "accept all" that SendSure can resolve using AI.
