Changes we made to our own record of Hunter, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Hunter. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Starter. The recorded monthly price was $34, the annual-billed rate, in a field this dataset defines as the month-to-month price. The row's own notes name both figures and say which is which, so the correct value was already inside the record: the month-to-month price is $49. Re-based to it, with the annual discount set to this plan's own saving of 31%. Found by a corpus-wide scan on 2026-09-09 for the same error four call-tracking vendors carried, and confirmed against this row's own notes rather than a fresh read; the source date is therefore unchanged.
