A Hunter alternative that starts from your buyer, not a domain list
Hunter is built around email addresses: give it a company domain and it finds and checks the addresses on it. getLeads works one step earlier. It tells you which companies to look at in the first place, based on what your own website sells, and charges per lead from prepaid credit.
Where getLeads is different
- It answers "who should I contact?" first. You enter your domain and get target industries and roles, then matching companies.
- No monthly plan and no monthly credit allowance. Credit you buy lasts 12 months and is spent only when you unlock a lead.
- Per-lead prices are set by country, so the same credit goes further in lower-income markets.
- Every match carries a written fit reason you can read before you pay.
Where Hunter is the better choice
- Email addresses: Hunter is made for finding and verifying them. getLeads returns no email address or phone number.
- Starting from a company you already know: if you have a list of domains, Hunter works on them directly. getLeads is for finding the companies.
- Outreach features: Hunter includes tools for sending and tracking campaigns, and getLeads has none.
What Hunter says about its plans
Read from Hunter's own pricing page on 29 October 2026. Vendors change plans without notice, so check the current page before you decide.
- Hunter lists a Free plan with 50 credits a month, and Starter at $49 a month ($34 a month if paid yearly) with 2,000 credits a month.
- Hunter lists Growth at $149 a month ($104 yearly) with 10,000 credits, and Scale at $299 a month ($209 yearly) with 25,000 credits.
- In Hunter, one credit is one email address found, and verifying an email costs half a credit.
- Hunter says monthly credits reset each month and do not roll over, and that you can take a subscription for one month and cancel it.
A Hunter credit finds one email address. A getLeads lead is a company with a suggested role and an opening line, and it comes with no email address. Per email, Hunter’s plans may well cost less than our per-lead price, so the honest comparison is about which thing you need: the address of someone you already picked, or help choosing who to contact.
What a getLeads lead costs
The price follows the country of the lead, from $0.43 to $0.85 per lead. You pay only for the leads you unlock, out of credit that lasts 12 months.
- Uganda, Ethiopia$0.43
- Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana$0.51
- Philippines, South Africa, Brazil$0.64
- United States, United Kingdom, Germany$0.85

Questions
Can I use getLeads and Hunter together?
Yes. A common split is to use getLeads to decide which companies to approach, then use an email tool to find an address for the person you picked. getLeads does not provide emails.
Why does getLeads not show competitor prices?
Plans and credit allowances change often, so a number here would go stale. The link on this page goes to the competitor’s own pricing page.
