How are duplicated requests counted?

Learn how duplicate requests work in Hunter, when they’re free, and how they’re counted across plans and teams.

What is a duplicate request?

A duplicate request refers to a Domain Search, Email Finder, or Email Verifier request that you’ve already performed in the past.

Hunter won’t charge credits for a duplicate request if it happens within the same billing or monthly period, depending on your plan type.


When are duplicate requests free?

For All-in-one outreach platform plans:

  • Monthly plans: A request is only counted once per billing period

  • Yearly plans: A request is only counted once per calendar month

Example:

  • If your monthly plan renews on the 10th and you perform the same search twice before the next 10th, the second one won’t use credits.

  • On a yearly plan, a request done on December 10th won’t be charged again if repeated any time in December — but it will count again starting January 1st.

For Data Platform plans:

Data Platform plans work like yearly subscriptions:

  • Duplicate requests are free if repeated within the same calendar month (e.g., from September 1 to 30)

  • After that, the same request will use credits again

⚠️ Important: Duplicate emails or rows across different CSV files in bulk mode won’t be detected, and credits will be consumed again.


How are duplicates counted in a Team?

Duplicate requests are tracked at the team level.

Example:

If User A does a Domain Search and User B (on the same team) repeats the same Domain Search in the same period, no credits will be charged for User B.


Bulk uploads and duplicate detection

Please note:

  • Hunter does not detect duplicates across different bulk CSV uploads

  • If you verify the same email in two separate files, credits will be charged both times.
