How to cancel Hunter

Before you cancel

Export first

• Saved leads (people) and companies: Select the leads, then choose Export under the three dots; for companies, the Export button appears as soon as you select them (CSV). Companies: up to 100,000 per export on paid plans, 100 on the Free plan; no limit for leads from people lists; larger exports are emailed help.hunter.io

What happens to your data

Your account, contacts, leads, sequences and data are kept (the account moves to the Free plan): nothing is deleted.

What you lose

• Paid-plan credits: the Free plan has 50 monthly credits
• Company exports above 100 per export
• Running sequences: they pause when the paid plan ends

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

• Pause Pause a monthly All-in-one Outreach plan (Starter, Growth, Scale) for 1, 2 or 3 months with Pause plan on the plan card. The account, sequences and leads stay, you get Free plan access meanwhile, and the plan resumes with 30% off the first payment (not if you end the pause early). Not for yearly, Data Platform or Enterprise plans help.hunter.io
• Free plan After cancelling, the account keeps the Free plan: 50 monthly credits shared across all Hunter tools help.hunter.io
• Cheaper plan Downgrade to a lower tier (for example Scale to Growth to Starter) with Change plan: it takes effect immediately, credits you already have roll over in an extra pack, and add-ons stay active until you cancel them help.hunter.io
• Pay yearly Switch a monthly All-in-one Outreach plan to yearly billing and save 30% help.hunter.io

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Only the team owner can cancel, pause or change the plan
• Cancel before the renewal charge: even a few hours late means paying for the next period, with no refund
• Add-ons (extra email account slots, domains, Inbox Protection) renew separately: cancel them from the Details tab tables
• Credit packs stay valid for 3 months from purchase, whatever happens to the subscription
• Monthly outreach plans can be paused for 1 to 3 months instead of cancelled
• Enterprise plans can only be cancelled after the contract's minimum committed duration: contact the Account Manager
• If the subscription owner has left, email contact@hunter.io from a company address with the previous owner's name and email

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/hunter.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
