Need verification, not
email finding?
Hunter is great for prospecting, but if you only need email verification, you're paying for features you don't use. Mailvalid focuses on one thing: accurate, fast verification.
TL;DR
Hunter is an all-in-one prospecting platform combining email finding and verification—but its verification accuracy (90-95%) is lower than dedicated verifiers and pricing is monthly subscription-based. Mailvalid is verification-only with higher accuracy (95%+) and pay-as-you-go pricing. Choose Hunter if you need both email finding and verification in one tool. Choose Mailvalid if you already have emails and just need to verify them.
