Finding it used to cost $2,000–$7,000+ a year.
The incumbents — Judy Diamond, Larkspur, BrightScope — sold this same public DOL data on annual seat licenses, through sales reps, at prices they won’t print on their websites. We took the same Form 5500 filings, graded every plan A–D by fees, added confidence-scored decision-makers, and priced it like a tool instead of enterprise software: free to search, $1 to unlock a plan, no sales call.
The other tools have names. We have the fee line.
Grade D plans charge admin fees above 1.5% of assets. Check any employer against its own peer group — straight from their latest Form 5500.

Every unlocked plan generates a client-ready plan review — an executive summary a sponsor actually reads, backed by an appendix that survives their CPA.
Scored on four dimensions, not one
Fees, net return, participation, and employer generosity — each a 0–100 percentile against a named cohort of similar plans, with the methodology printed in the report.
Net rate of return, from the filing itself
Computed from the plan’s own filed balance sheet — the return participants actually experienced after all plan costs, benchmarked year by year.
Findings history, year by year
Fidelity-bond gaps, late deposits, fee drift — rule-based checks shown across filing years, so the trend is the pitch.
Anonymized peer comparison
A table of genuinely comparable plans — same industry, similar assets — with no sponsor names. Every figure from public filings.
Your brand on every page
White-label the PDF and the share page with your logo and colors. Send a one-page summary for the first touch, the full appendix for the meeting.
A link, not an attachment
Every report doubles as a public share link your prospect opens on their phone — no login, no PDF viewer, live for 90 days.

Bonus hunting ground: rollover leads
When a plan files its final return, every participant has money that must move. We surface terminated plans as a ready-made rollover pipeline — sorted by assets, refreshed with every ingest.
Public data in. Refunds when we’re wrong.
Built by financial advisors
Designed for the prospecting workflow advisors actually run — fee-grade triage, decision-maker outreach, takeover positioning. Not a generic B2B tool with a finance vertical bolted on.
Direct from the source
Every plan is sourced from the U.S. Department of Labor’s public Form 5500 filings and reconciled against 15+ public datasets. Updated as new filings land. No middleman, no scraping, no stale data.
Pay only for unlocks
Search the whole database free, without an account — look before you give us anything. Credits are only spent when you unlock a plan’s financials or a confidence-scored decision-maker, and a wrong person auto-refunds. Credits never expire. Cancel anytime.
A note from the founder.
The data behind every 401(k) prospecting tool is public. Form 5500 filings sit on the Department of Labor’s servers, free, for anyone. And yet for twenty years the only way to search them properly was a four-figure annual license, a sales call to even see pricing, and software that looks like it shipped with Windows XP.
That never sat right with me. So we built 401kHunter the way a modern tool should work: search everything free, pay a dollar or three for the unlocks you actually use, and cancel whenever you want. No procurement cycle. No seat license. No demo call unless you want one.
If something’s broken, confusing, or missing — email me. I read every message.

Employer retirement plans file a Form 5500 (large plans) or 5500-SF (small plans) with the Department of Labor each year, and the full filings are public record on EFAST2. We ingest, normalize, and score both — from solo plans to the largest in the country — and reconcile them against 15+ other public datasets, updated as the DOL publishes new filings.
We compute admin expenses divided by plan assets from the plan’s own filing (Schedule H or I on the full 5500, or the 5500-SF itself). Grade A is below 0.5%, B is 0.5–1.0%, C is 1.0–1.5%, and D is above 1.5%. Grade D plans are the easiest takeover pitch.
Same public Form 5500 filings, built for advisor prospecting rather than research: every plan graded A–D on fees, basis-point benchmarks against similar plans, Schedule C provider compensation, decision-maker contacts that are confidence-scored and auto-refunded when wrong, and pay-as-you-go credits instead of a multi-thousand-dollar annual seat. Searching is free and needs no account.
Yes. When you unlock a plan, we resolve the plan sponsor’s likely 401(k) decision maker (CFO, HR director, owner, etc.) plus their work email and LinkedIn for 30 credits; a direct phone line is 20 more. Contacts are confidence-scored and cross-checked against the sponsor’s domain — wrong person, auto-refund.
Searching every plan is free and needs no account. Credit packs start at $25 (10¢ a credit), and Pro is $100/month for 1,500 credits. Credits never expire, and a plan’s full financials cost 10 credits with the decision-maker contact at 30.
Unlimited search across every plan in the database, plus 50 free credits when you create an account — enough to unlock one plan’s full financials and its decision-maker contact before you spend a dollar. No card required.
401kHunter is built and operated by JSP Global Consulting LLC, a U.S. company. It exists because legacy Form 5500 tools cost thousands a year and hide pricing behind sales calls. Questions go to info@401khunter.com — the founder reads every message.
Form 5500 filings are public records under ERISA §104 — published by the DOL on EFAST2. We don’t give legal or compliance advice; we recommend confirming any outbound program with your firm’s CCO. Plan-sponsor contact data comes from third-party B2B enrichment providers and is intended for legitimate business outreach.
Failed lookups (no valid contact or direct phone) auto-refund to your credit balance — no support ticket needed. Credits are spent per field (financials, email, phone) rather than per bundle, so you only pay for what you actually need on each plan.
Free account, no card required — with 50 free credits to unlock your first plan and its decision-maker. If a lookup comes back empty, the credits refund automatically.
