πŸ’‘ Email Sequences are not available on Data Platform plans, and extra email account connections cannot be added to this plan.

Additional accounts cost $10 / €10 / Β£8 per month each.

Connecting more accounts lets you send more emails per day, reduces the risk of provider blocks, and enables Account Rotation if you are on a Starter plan or higher.

How to add additional email accounts

If you are using an all-in-one subscription plan (Starter, Growth, Scale), you can include additional email account slots.

  1. Go to Subscription in your Hunter account.

  2. In the Quotas section, click Add next to Email accounts.

  3. Select how many additional accounts you want and click Continue.

  4. Confirm with Update my plan β€” your card is charged immediately, and the new slots are available right away.

πŸ’‘ Any additional email account added is not charged immediately.

Instead, the first charge is pro-rated in the following billing cycle, plus the cost for the new billing period with the additional email accounts.

Should you add accounts or upgrade your plan?

If you plan to connect many additional email accounts, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade to a higher plan instead.

To upgrade:

  1. Click Change my plan.

  2. Select the plan that fits your sending needs.

  3. Confirm the change on the checkout page.

What to expect after connecting an email account

Once connected:

  • The account becomes available when creating sequences

  • Emails are sent directly through your email provider

  • You can assign the account to specific sequences

  • Sending more emails per day

  • Avoiding your provider's daily sending limits

  • Distributing sending volume across accounts

  • Enabling email account rotation in Sequences
