Why developers choose Sniffmail over Hunter
Verification-focused, not email finding
Hunter bundles email finding with verification, charging premium prices. Sniffmail focuses purely on verification, delivering better value for this specific use case.
Role account detection
Sniffmail detects role-based emails (info@, support@, sales@) that often have lower engagement. Hunter doesn't offer this feature.
Usage-based pricing
With Hunter, you pay for a fixed plan even if you don't use all credits. Sniffmail's usage-based pricing means you only pay for what you actually verify.
