Hunter Changelog

We’ve launched several improvements to make your experience with Hunter more flexible, transparent, and efficient:

Unified Credit System

We’ve simplified how credits work across Hunter: you can view this in our updated Pricing page.

There’s now one single credit balance for all actions — whether you’re:

• Finding emails (Email Finder, Domain Search, Bulk tools)
• Verifying emails (Email Verifier, Bulk Verifier)
• Using the API

This removes the need to manage separate Search and Verification credits — giving you more flexibility in how you use your plan.

How credits are counted:

• 1 credit = 1 email found via Domain Search, Email Finder, or Bulk Email Finder
• 1 credit = up to 10 emails found via Bulk Domain Search
• 0.5 credit = 1 email verified via Email Verifier or Bulk Email Verifier.
  • No credits are used for unknown or disposable results

Important:

If you registered your account or subscribed to a plan before July 16, the unified credit system will be automatically applied on your next renewal. You don’t need to make any changes.

New: Purchase Extra Credit Packs

You can now manually purchase credit packs directly from your Subscription section — available with any All-in-one outreach platform plan.

• No more automatic overages or surprises
• Credit packs are valid for 3 months
• Buy only what you need, when you need it

Perfect for scaling outreach without upgrading your plan.

Leads Verified Automatically (At No Cost)

All emails found via Hunter and saved in the Leads section are now automatically re-verified once per month — for free.

This ensures your contact lists stay accurate over time, without using any of your credits.

If you have any questions or want help finding the right plan or credit pack, reach out to our team — we’re happy to assist!

Managing your leads in Hunter just got a major upgrade.

As your saved data grows, you need more control, and less clutter. With this update, we’re making it easier to build, access, and organize the lists that power your outreach.

What’s new

Two types of lists, now available in Leads and Companies

You now have more flexibility in how you organize contacts in Hunter with two list types:

• Static Lists: Think of these as fixed snapshots. You can manually save or import leads or companies into a Static list, great for one-off campaigns, exports, or custom groupings you want to fully control. Once created, the content of a Static list stays the same unless you manually add or remove items.
• Dynamic Lists: These are smart lists built from filters. You can create a Dynamic list from any Static list to get a live, filtered view based on criteria like job title, verification status, or engagement.

ℹ️ Dynamic lists automatically update whenever new leads or companies in the source list match the filters you’ve set.

• Folders: A new section to help you group your lists by campaign, vertical, or anything else. Clean, simple organization.
• Lists Management Hub: One place to access and manage all your lists and folders.

• All People & All Companies views: Instantly access any saved lead or company in two separate sections.
• Cross-list records: People and Companies can now exist in multiple lists at once to give you even more flexibility when creating lists.

Why this matters to you

⚡️ Work faster: save time with lists that update themselves, or take manual control when you need it.

🗂️ Stay organized: use folders and the hub to keep everything structured and easy to find.

📈 Scale smarter: track your outreach across segments without extra effort or messy spreadsheets.

How to use the new tools

1. Build smarter lists: set up Dynamic lists that automatically gather leads based on filters like job title, verification status, or any criteria you choose — no manual updates needed.
2. Keep your lists organized: use folders to group your lists for faster access and better structure. Perfect for managing client work or separating lists by team or use case.
3. Get full visibility: the “All People” and “All Companies” views let you search and browse across all saved data, even if contacts aren’t assigned to a specific list.

Try it now

Log in or create your free Hunter account to try the new Lists, Folders, and improved Leads experience.

We’ve just rolled out an update to the Domain Search and Discover functionalities that makes finding the right contacts easier, faster, and more cost-effective.

What's new?

• Decision-Maker filter: Quickly spot decision makers with a new tab that highlights them using a crown icon. No more endless scrolling — just straight to the right people.

• Job Title filter: A long-requested addition! You can now filter Domain Search results by job title to identify people in on the exact roles you care about.

• Department-Based grouping: Emails found are now neatly organized by department, helping you target the right contacts effortlessly.

• Smarter sorting: Leads with verified emails appear first, sorted by relevance and department so you can prioritize the best options.
• Controlled email reveal: Before, you had to spend credits to find emails without really knowing if they were the right fit. Now, you can browse through the list, pick the contacts you want, and only use credits when you actually reveal an email.

Why this matters to you:

• Work faster: Find decision makers instantly and skip the guesswork.
• Save credits: Only reveal emails when you know they’re the right contacts.
• Target smarter: Get better leads with precise job title and department filters.

How to use the new filters

Simply start your search in either Discover or Domain Search:

• In Discover: Enter your target company, filter decision makers by department, review profiles, and selectively reveal emails.
• In Domain Search: Input a specific domain, filter by job title to refine results, confirm your ideal leads, and reveal emails efficiently.

Here’s a roundup of all the improvements and fixes we shipped recently to make your Hunter experience smoother, smarter, and more reliable.

Fix details:

• Resolved offset issues caused by empty columns.
• Accurate column mapping even with irregular formats.
• Smoother, more reliable bulk imports.

Improvements:

• More granular and accurate progress tracking.
• Smoother visual feedback throughout the import.
• Better user experience from start to finish.

• Ensures the right account is used per recipient.
• More consistent message delivery and tracking.

Fix details:

• Signature now correctly saved during mailbox creation.
• No need to re-edit after setup.
• Setup flow is now more reliable and intuitive.

This month, we’re rolling out major enhancements to Discover, Domain Search, and our API, giving you deeper data insights and new automation capabilities to streamline your workflow.

🔍 Enhanced technologies extraction

We now extract technologies directly from job postings, offering valuable insights into the tools companies are actively using or hiring for.

This data is now available in Discover, where you can filter companies based on their technology stack, as well as in company data within within Domain Search results.

With this update, our database now covers more than 1,800 technologies, 

✅ Technologies are now visible in Discover (under the Technologies filter).

✅ Company data in Domain Search and the Discover side panel now includes these technologies.

✅ Our dataset now covers 1,800+ technologies.

📌 Raw job title now available in Domain Search API & Bulk Domain Search

By popular demand, we’ve added the raw job title to the Domain Search API and Bulk Domain Search results. This ensures you get job titles exactly as collected from our People Dataset and the public web.

📬 Start a Campaign via API

We’ve introduced a much-requested feature: the ability to start an email campaign in Campaigns via API.

This means you can now automate campaign execution and integrate email outreach seamlessly into your existing workflows.

📖 View API documentation to get started.

These updates bring richer data insights and greater automation capabilities to your workflow.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, feel free to share your feedback as we continue improving Hunter!

We’ve added a new feature to make managing your companies and people in Leads simpler.

Now, you can add up to three customizable attribute blocks that give you a clear visual snapshot of your data.

Whether you’re tracking verification status or sending progress, these blocks help you stay organized and make smarter decisions. This is all available to everyone, including free plan users.

The data visualization provides a clear overview of your leads and company segmentation, including key statuses such as verification, sending status, and more.

By clicking on a specific segment, your leads are instantly filtered by that attribute, allowing you to seamlessly switch between different views.

Why this is helpful:

• Quick filters: Easily sort companies or leads based on specific attributes.
• Status tracking: Use blocks to monitor key statuses like verification and sending.
• One-click filtering: Click on an attribute block to instantly focus on relevant companies or leads, such as unverified or never-contacted leads.

ℹ️ You can discover more about the advanced data visualization feature in this help article.

We’ve made key improvements to Campaigns to help users track upcoming emails more easily. These updates include clearer sending statuses, step-by-step email progressions, and helpful hints on the Campaigns page.

🔄 Status and email account filters update

Filters are now available as dropdown menus, making sorting by campaign statuses and email accounts easier.

• Dropdown menus: Simplified filtering replaces the previous button-based filters, reducing page clutter.

New columns on the Campaigns overview page provide more insights into campaign progress and scheduling.
