Bottom line

Low-cost email verification for cold email senders: each address gets a Safe, Risky or Bad verdict and a deliverability score, catch-all domains are resolved rather than just flagged, and blacklist monitoring is included. One plan at $9.99/mo for 10,000 checks a month, with free credits to test first.

Stands out for: Price and catch-all handling: $9.99/mo for 10,000 verifications plus daily AutoClean credits undercuts most verifiers, and it tries to resolve catch-all addresses to real mailbox validity, which matters for recruiters emailing candidates at company domains. Blacklist monitoring and abuse detection come on the base plan.

Watch out for: It is a new vendor, and the testimonials and accuracy figures on its site are its own and unverified, with no outside reviews yet. There is a single published plan, so heavy users depend on add-on credit packs or a custom quote. No MCP server.

Overview

VerifyHQ is an email verification service built for cold email. Every address runs through a multi-stage pipeline on the vendor's own dedicated IPs and engine: syntax, DNS and MX lookups, SMTP handshake, spam trap and abuse checks, catch-all resolution and deliverability scoring. The result is a Safe, Risky or Bad tier plus a score, so you can set your own threshold, for example send above 80 and review 50 to 80.

You can check single emails in under 2 seconds from the dashboard, a signup form or a CRM, or upload CSV lists of up to 500,000 rows and download results with standard field names. AutoClean runs ongoing list hygiene with a daily credit allowance. A REST API with single and bulk endpoints, HMAC-signed webhooks, Zapier and native integrations with Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Apollo, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Clay push verified data into your stack.

Every plan includes daily blacklist monitoring for your domain and IP, abuse database matching and toxic domain detection. The vendor says lists are not stored beyond your session or resold. The Lite plan is $9.99/mo for 10,000 verification credits a month and 4,000 AutoClean credits a day, with never-expiring add-on packs.

Who it's for

Best for

  • Recruiters cleaning candidate email lists before outreach
  • Cold email senders on Instantly, Smartlead or Lemlist
  • Teams losing good leads to catch-all flags
  • Budget buyers who verify under about 10,000 emails a month

Not ideal for

  • Buyers who need an established vendor with review history
  • Teams that want to verify from an AI assistant over MCP
  • Very high volume users wanting tiered published pricing

Key features

Catch-all resolution. Instead of marking catch-all domains as risky, it tries to resolve each address to mailbox-level validity, so fewer good leads are thrown away.

Deliverability score and verdict. Every email gets a Safe, Risky or Bad tier and a score you can threshold, built from mailbox existence, domain health, catch-all status, spam trap signals and abuse history.

Bulk and real time. CSV uploads up to 500,000 rows, single checks in under 2 seconds, AutoClean for ongoing hygiene, and a REST API with HMAC-signed webhooks.

Protection included. Daily blacklist monitoring for your domain and IP, plus abuse and toxic domain detection, on every plan.
