See how HL Hunt compares to the way you collect today.

Agencies, in-house teams, legacy software, law firms, and debt sales each have real costs that are rarely measured. Here is how they stack up.

How to evaluate your collections options honestly

Most organizations collect the way they always have: an agency on contingency, an in-house team on a dialer, a legacy system that stores accounts, a law firm for the hard cases, or a debt buyer for the write-offs. Each of these has a real cost that is rarely measured against alternatives, because collections is usually treated as a necessary expense rather than a function to optimize.

The comparisons below lay out how HL Hunt stacks up against each traditional approach on the dimensions that matter: net recovery after fees, cost per resolved account, speed, compliance exposure, customer experience, and control. We try to be fair about where each alternative still makes sense; agencies, law firms, and debt sales all have a place for certain accounts, and HL Hunt works alongside them. The point is to make the decision with data rather than by default.

Frequently asked questions

Can HL Hunt replace our collection agency entirely?

For most portfolios, yes. Clients typically start with a parallel test, then move all placements to HL Hunt and keep an agency or law firm only for specific late-stage or legal accounts, which they can place from the platform.

What is the real cost comparison with an agency?

Agencies charge 25 to 50 percent of recoveries. HL Hunt charges a subscription from $0 to $649 a month (custom at Enterprise) plus 3 to 26 percent commission depending on plan, and recovery rates are typically higher because every account is worked. Most clients see total collections cost fall by more than half.

Is it hard to switch?

No. Import accounts by CSV or API, recall from your agency, and outreach starts the same day. We help map histories and handle the transition. There are no setup fees or contracts.
