Starting price
$8/1,000 credits
Bulk email verification via credits and API. Plans start at $49/mo, sold as credit packs.
Where NeverBounce fits
$47/mo Free trial
Scrubby validates the catch-all and risky emails that standard verifiers mark as unknown, so you can email leads you would otherwise throw away. It suits recruiting agencies and outbound teams who already run a first pass verifier and want to recover more of their list. Plans start at $47 a month for 6,000 credits and new accounts get 200 free credits.

NeverBounce
Stands out: A long-running list-cleaning API used next to marketing and recruiting outbound, not a finder.
Watch out: Plans start at $49/mo, sold as credit packs. You still need a finder if the list has no addresses yet.
Not the right fit for
Scrubby
Stands out: Scrubby offers a Deep Verification mode that sends real emails and watches for bounces over 72 hours, a slower but more direct test than signal based catch-all checkers like BounceBan. It is built to sit after NeverBounce, ZeroBounce or MillionVerifier rather than replace them.
Watch out: Deep Verification costs 3 credits per email and takes up to 72 hours for final results, so it is not for same day sends. All purchases are final with no refunds on unused credits or partial months.
