Hunter
Hunter exposes a complete public price table (Free, Starter $34, Growth $104, Scale $209, Enterprise) with explicit per-credit accounting (1 credit per email, 0.5 per verification) plus a standalone bulk credit-pack flow visible on the same page. The pricing page also surfaces an MCP integration row alongside its public API. xpay could not verify a /.well-known manifest or anonymous one-shot purchase, leaving 18 points unclaimed.

Observational summary written by xpay from the signals captured on 2026-05-04. Not a review of the product — only of its current pricing posture for agent buyers.- Pricing is publicly visible on an indexable page — agents can read tiers without scraping past auth.
- Per-unit billing is published, so an agent can budget for a single task before committing.
- API documentation is reachable without a login — discovery and integration can happen in one session.
- Per-unit rate is concrete enough that an agent can model expected spend before issuing a request.
- A free tier exists, lowering the bar for an agent builder to prototype before committing budget.
- Some tiers are sales-led; the highest-capacity surfaces are not self-serve.
- PPU requires account creation and an issued API key; a fully unauthenticated agent purchase is not yet supported.
- No /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or equivalent machine-readable pricing manifest is published — agents must rely on HTML scraping.
How Hunter could lift its score
Hunter lands at Verified. Two missing points: (1) publish /.well-known/ai-pricing.json reflecting the credit-per-endpoint table; (2) front the bulk credit-pack purchase with a Stripe Payment Link so an unauthenticated agent can buy 1k credits without first creating an account.
