- Trial: A free plan with 50 credits a month. No card needed. [[13]]
- Built for: Anyone who needs to find and check email addresses, then start outreach. [[14]]

## Where does RecruitAffiliates.ai fit?

RecruitAffiliates.ai does one job. You type your website. It finds the sites, blogs, newsletters, podcasts and creators already promoting your competitors, and finds an email for each. Then it sends a three-step email from your own inbox.

Hunter is a lookup. RecruitAffiliates.ai finds the sites, finds the email and sends the sequence.

It doesn't track sales or pay commission. AffiliateRail, our sister product from the same founder, does that. Use it with any tracking platform you like. Try it free for 14 days with no card. Your first 20 affiliate emails are on us.
