How much does Prospeo cost vs Hunter.io in 2026?

Prospeo starts at $49/month for 2,000 credits per seat ($37/month billed yearly), scaling to $249/month for 15,000 credits on the Pro plan, per Prospeo's pricing page. Hunter.io starts at the same $49/month for 2,000 credits, but that pool is shared across unlimited team members, per Hunter's pricing page.

Credit model: per-seat pricing vs a shared team pool

Prospeo charges per user. Add a second rep and you buy a second Starter, Growth, or Pro subscription at full price. Hunter.io charges per account instead. Every plan, including the $49/month Starter tier, includes unlimited team members sharing one credit pool, per Hunter's pricing page.

For a two-person team prospecting at Starter volume, that's roughly $98/month on Prospeo versus $49/month on Hunter.io for the same 2,000 monthly credits. Hunter.io is the better deal the moment more than one person touches the tool. Prospeo only wins that math for a solo user who needs the extra filters.

Which tool has better data coverage and integrations?

Prospeo's paid plans unlock up to 41 search filters, 12 intent-signal topics, and a verified mobile-number finder, none of which Hunter.io offers, per Prospeo's pricing page. Hunter.io counters with broader native integrations at a lower price: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Zoho CRM connect starting on its $49/month Starter plan, while Prospeo holds HubSpot and Salesforce back until its $99/month Growth tier, per Hunter's integrations page and Prospeo's pricing page.

Neither company publishes an independent email-accuracy percentage. Hunter backs every plan with a no-waste guarantee: if a search returns no email, or a verification fails, no credit is deducted, per Hunter's pricing page.

Where each tool wins, and where it doesn't

Prospeo

  • 45+ filters, intent data, and a Chrome extension bundle prospecting and enrichment into one seat
  • Verified mobile numbers ship standard, a field Hunter.io doesn't offer at all
  • CRM sync and job-change tracking sit behind the $99/month Growth plan, not Starter

Hunter.io

  • Unlimited seats on every plan, so adding reps doesn't add cost
  • Native HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Zoho integrations from the $49/month Starter tier
  • No mobile-number finder and no intent-signal filtering. It's an email finder and verifier, not a full prospecting platform

If you're a solo founder building your first list, Prospeo's bundle is worth the per-seat premium. If you're a team of three or more splitting prospecting work, Hunter.io's shared pool makes Prospeo's per-user pricing hard to justify. Most agencies land in the second bucket.
