The short answer

  • MillionVerifier : MillionVerifier is a low cost choice for large standard lists when catch-all resolution matters less. From $39/10k credits
  • ZeroBounce : ZeroBounce adds a broader deliverability toolkit around verification if you want more than list cleaning. From $39/2,000 credits
  • Bouncer : Bouncer is a well known general verifier to compare on bulk pricing and integrations. From $8/1,000 credits

Why people look past BounceBan

Prices for packages above 10,000 credits only appear after you pick them on the pricing page, and the CRM Sync feature is billed as a separate subscription. Results on catch-alls are algorithmic judgements backed by a delivery rate guarantee, not a confirmed mailbox, so expect a small share to still bounce.

What we noted

  • Larger pack prices hidden until selected
  • CRM Sync billed separately
  • No deliverability monitoring

Not the right fit for

  • Teams wanting deliverability monitoring or warmup
  • Buyers who want flat unlimited verification
  • Senders working mostly with consumer email addresses

Worth keeping in mind: Most verifiers mark every catch-all address as risky, while BounceBan returns a deliverable or undeliverable verdict for most of them without sending a test email. It also gives unlimited free single verifications, so a recruiter can check a hiring manager's address before a one off email at no cost.

What each one does differently

MillionVerifier

$39/10k credits API

Why it comes up: MillionVerifier is a low cost choice for large standard lists when catch-all resolution matters less.

Stands out: Risky results are refunded, credits never expire, and catch-all checks are included at no extra cost.

Watch out: You pay upfront for a pack, not a monthly plan. The $39 entry pack is 10,000 credits, so small one-off lists cost more per email.

Best for

  • Marketers cleaning lists before a campaign
  • Senders who verify in bursts, not every month
  • Builders adding real-time checks via the API

ZeroBounce

$39/2,000 credits Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: ZeroBounce adds a broader deliverability toolkit around verification if you want more than list cleaning.

Stands out: Validation plus quality scoring on one meter, with a real free 100-credit allowance and a public $99/month subscription.

Watch out: Pay-as-you-go starts at $39 for 2,000 validations if you do not want a subscription. Heavy lists will burn the 10,000-credit ONE cap.

Best for

  • Recruiting and sales teams cleaning lists before send
  • Ops that want validation as an API
  • Desks that need scoring, not only deliverable/undeliverable

Bouncer

$8/1,000 credits Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Bouncer is a well known general verifier to compare on bulk pricing and integrations.

Stands out: Bouncer runs a free MCP server at https://api.usebouncer.com/mcp that connects to Claude or ChatGPT over OAuth 2.1, so a recruiter can paste a CSV into a chat and get a cleaned list back without opening the app. It exposes the same engine as the API, including single checks, batch jobs, domain checks, toxicity lists and a credit balance check, and it costs nothing beyond the credits used.

Watch out: Entry pricing is mid-market rather than cheapest: $8 per 1,000 credits against $6.99 at EmailListVerify, with a 1,000 credit minimum purchase. The pieces people assume are included are separate lines: the Deliverability Kit is a subscription from $25/month and Bouncer Shield is priced by monthly form checks. Verification data is processed in the EU only, which is a plus for GDPR and a question to ask if your policy requires US processing.

Best for

  • Recruiters and lead generation teams cleaning cold outreach lists before a send
  • Teams with uneven volume that do not want a monthly seat or credit subscription
  • Developers who need a documented real-time API on signup forms and sequencers
