when Hunter is the better pick

Be honest about it.

Hunter wins when your entire workflow is 'find verified business emails' and nothing else. Cheap, focused, great UX for that single job. Solo founders and small teams doing manual prospect research via the Chrome extension.

Pick AgentEnrich when: You need more than emails. Phones, decision makers, buying committees, real-time signals, SMB owners — Hunter doesn't ship any of these. AgentEnrich does, and email is just one of our 31 endpoints.

FAQ for switchers

Common questions.

Is AgentEnrich a Hunter alternative?

Yes if you need anything beyond emails. Hunter is email-only. AgentEnrich includes verified business emails (2 cr each) plus phones, decision-maker mapping, buying-committee, real-time signals, SMB owners, MCP server. Email is one of our 31 endpoints, not the entire product.

Is Hunter cheaper for email-only workflows?

At very low volume (under 25 searches/mo), Hunter's free tier wins. At 500 searches/mo, Hunter Starter ($49) and AgentEnrich Builder ($49) are equivalent. At 5,000 searches/mo, Hunter Growth ($149) vs AgentEnrich Pro ($97) — we're cheaper. At 50,000 searches/mo, Hunter Scale ($299) vs AgentEnrich Scale ($199) — we're cheaper and ship 30 more endpoints.

Does Hunter have an MCP server for Claude?

No. Hunter is UI + REST API. AgentEnrich ships an MCP server (npx @agentenrich/mcp) that exposes 12 tools to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-aware AI agent.

Can I use Hunter for email AND AgentEnrich for everything else?

Sure, but you'd be paying twice for the email layer. AgentEnrich's email coverage is equivalent to Hunter's (both SMTP-verified with MX checks, both 95%+ accuracy). Consolidating to one vendor usually saves money and reduces integration overhead.
