It is an essential tool for them, which detects whether the addresses on their lists are valid and deliverable or not.
But how can we know which software is the best in the field?
By comparison, of course.
In this lesson, I have reviewed 10 email verification services and compared them to give you a detailed review and insight into their usage to decide which software is the best.
I listed all the pros and cons of each email verification service and gave an overview of the overall user experience of each software.
Now let’s see that list from the best to the least favorable email verifiers according to user experience and the service they provide.
1. MillionVerifier
MillionVerifier offers a very easy-to-use service with a user-friendly experience regarding email verification. The platform itself is transparent, and you can navigate through the whole process of verification without questioning what to do.
MillionVerifier has outstanding precision with a 99% email verification accuracy rate. 99% of your emails are guaranteed to be delivered with a less than 1% bounce rate after verification.
Compared to other services, MillionVerifier has the lowest prices on the market. This has become the most available service for both larger and smaller businesses. In addition to that, this is the only email verifier that will not charge you for Risky, that is, Catch-all and Unknown emails.
You can see the results displayed clearly and understandably once the verification is complete. You can also download a file of the report about the results, listing each email address with their exact results.
They also offer a 100% money-back guarantee if your hard bounce rate exceeds 4%. This implies that their results are trustworthy and reliable, and you do not have to worry about losing money when investing in such a service. It is entirely risk-free.
MillionVerifier provides a service called EverClean as well. It is an automated email verification service by which you can ensure you keep your email lists clean with only a small monthly fee.
Pros:
- Easy-to-use
- 99% accuracy rate
- Lowest prices on the market
- 100% money-back guarantee
- Automated email verification
- Free trial
- A significant number of integrations
Cons:
- Only email and chat support are available
- No monthly subscription for buying credits
2. Emailable
Emailable has a simplistic design with very few details on the platform. This can be an advantage for some users. However, others might consider it a disadvantage due to the difficulty in finding what you are really looking for and the lack of instructions on the site.
They offer a 99% email deliverability rate, which can improve your email marketing campaign performance.
The verification process is fast, and the results are transparent and easily assessable. You can check the result of the verification and can download a report about it in a file.
Emailable’s prices are relatively high compared to MillionVerifier, and the smallest package you can get is 5,000 credits for 30 USD.
However, there is a monthly subscription with which you can purchase credits every month. This is great for those who use the email verification service regularly.
They also offer a service called Monitor, an automated email verification service that cleans your selected email lists as often as you set them up. One disadvantage of this service is that there is no free trial for automated email list cleaning.
Pros:
- 99% deliverability rate
- Fast verification
- Transparent results
- Monthly subscription for credit purchase
- Monitor -Automated email list cleaning
Cons:
- Lack of instructions on the platform
- Relatively high prices
- No free trial for Monitor
3. ZeroBounce
ZeroBounce also has a very detailed platform and tells you exactly what to do when you want to start a verification process.
The verification results are also really precise with this service; they offer an accuracy rate of 99%. They are GDPR compliant and are outstanding with their new system called ZeroBounce A.I. system (Artificial Intelligence Email Address Scoring System). With this new service, you can check the activity and value of your database.
The prices of ZeroBounce are higher. However, you can also purchase smaller packages if you only need 2000 verifications.
One thing you have to be really careful with is that they claim to detect spamtraps. Internet Service Providers use spamtraps to catch spammers. Therefore, spamtraps have extremely high value. They are not published or leaked to the public. Otherwise, they would not work as spamtraps. For that reason, it is not possible to track them by email verification.
When I tried the verification, the process was relatively slow compared to other services, in spite of the low number of emails uploaded in a file.
They have few integrations, so you can easily connect ZeroBounce with one of your email marketing tools.
Pros:
- Detailed platform
- High accuracy
- ZeroBounce A.I. System
- Small packages
- 24/7 customer support
Cons:
- Slow verification
- Claiming they detect spamtraps
- High prices
- Unnecessary information needed for verification (phone number and company industry)
4. QuickEmailVerification
Once you sign up in QuickEmailVerification, you have the opportunity to go through a guided tour on the page. This is extremely helpful for the first users, as the page has many options, and it might be challenging to manage your steps without it.
Like the above services, QuickEmailVerification also offers a 99% deliverability rate.
The verification process is quite slow, but not as slow as in the case of ListWise or ZeroBounce. You can’t stop the process once you start it. The results are not as detailed, and the exact meaning of each result is not displayed when you get the results. However, you can download your results with the exact email addresses in an Excel table.
As in the case of ListWise, you can buy smaller packages, such as 500-1000 verifications. However, QuickEmailVerification offers lower prices.
There is also a monthly subscription for buying credits, but this means that the credits you have on your account will reset every day. This is cheaper than having never-expiring president credits. Still, you have to be cautious about using the email verification service on a regular basis for it to be beneficial for you.
Pros:
- Guided tour on the page
- Clear instructions
- 99% deliverability rate
- Detailed results that you can download
- Small packages available
- Monthly subscription
Cons:
- Slow verification process
- No explanation of results
- Middle prices
- No integrations available
- Only email support is available
- No automated email verification
5. Bouncer
Bouncer has a clear platform that is easy to use. You can start the verification on the first page, and every step is displayed in a transparent and straightforward way. You can verify a single email, upload an email list from a file, or paste it from an XLSX file.
They have 12 integrations with which you can connect your email marketing tool.
Bouncer claims to have an accuracy of 99% with bias against false negatives.
As for the turnaround time, the process takes an hour for 200,000 email addresses. This is a relatively good time for the verification process compared to other, slower software.
Regarding the results, you get an overview when the verification is completed. However, the meaning of the results’ quality is not displayed here. When you download the results in a file, you will get a more detailed report, including the results' reasons for each email address.
Bouncer prices are between the highest (ZeroBounce) and lowest (MillionVerifier) costs. The smallest package you can buy is 1000 verifications, and the largest is 1,000,000 verifications.
There is also an opportunity to start a monthly subscription, which you can cancel whenever you want. This is a beneficial service for those who want to use email verification regularly for bulk email verification.
Pros:
- Transparent platform
- 99% accuracy rate
- Fast verification process
- Can download a detailed report on results
- Monthly subscription for buying credits
Cons:
- No explanation on results when verification is completed
- A relatively small number of integrations
- Only chat and email customer support are available
- No automated email verification service
6. Clearout
Clearout’s platform is quite straightforward and easily understandable. However, it doesn’t have many features on the site. You can verify a single email or upload your lists for verification, and it removes bad and fraudulent emails from your lists.
They have a relatively great number of integrations available, precisely 16.
The verification process time is acceptable; you don’t have to wait minutes for a smaller number of emails to be verified.
After verification, the results are clearly displayed, and you can download a file with the report after completion. When you get your results, you can check the meaning of each quality of the results and better understand what they mean.
The prices of the credits are relatively high despite offering only an email verification service. There is also an opportunity for a monthly subscription, but it is only profitable if you purchase a large number of credits and use bulk verification each month.
Unfortunately, there is no automated email list verification service.
Pros:
- Straightforward platform
- Clearly displayed results that you can download
- Great explanations of results
- Monthly subscription for buying credits
Cons:
- Limited service
- High prices

7. Gamalogic
Gamalogic’s platform is easy to use. However, you don’t get many instructions and explanations about what you should do. You can verify a single email or upload your emails in a file. You can also use Email Finder to find the email address of any professional by entering their full name and the domain of their email address. They also offer real-time verification through an API key.
They offer a 99% accuracy rate. They don’t return the results from cached database but verify and provide them in real-time with each verification.
What is outstanding about Gamalogic is that they offer 500 free trial credits so that you can explore their service to a greater extent.
The verification process time is comparatively slow despite uploading a file containing only 50 email addresses.
Regarding the results, you don’t get an overview of the verification results on the site itself; you can only download a file containing all the emails you have uploaded and the quality of the results next to them.
As for the prices, the smaller packages have a lower cost compared to other services. However, the larger packages are in, the more expensive price range.
Unfortunately, there are no integrations or automated email verification services.
Pros:
- Easy-to-use platform
- 99% accuracy
- 500 free trial credits
- Smaller packages have lower prices
Cons:
- You don’t get an overview of the results
- Slow verification process
- Higher packages are expensive

- Customer support only via email
8. ListWise
ListWise is an extremely simple email verifier with no other service than email verification and removing bad emails from your list. The platform is simple as well. One might find it difficult for the first time to navigate through the page and see where they can find what they are looking for.
They also offer a 99% deliverability rate, which means their results are accurate and reliable.
They also claim that they detect spamtraps, but as we have discussed this above, this is a false claim, as email verification services cannot do that due to security reasons.
The verification process itself is pretty slow compared to other services, and you can’t stop the process once you upload your lists. However, we can get detailed results once it is completed. You can also download the files of your results in an Excel table.
The prices are the middle ground, not as high as that of, for example, ZeroBounce, but not as low as that of MillionVerifier. You can also purchase very small packages containing 500 or 1000 verifications.
As I have mentioned, this is a straightforward platform with minimalistic design and instructions and limited opportunities compared to other software.
Pros:
- 99% deliverability rate
- Detailed results that you can also download
- Small packages available
- Simple
Cons:
- Limited options and instructions
- Claiming they detect spamtraps
- Slow verification
- Cannot stop the verification process
- No integrations
- Relatively high prices for limited service
9. EmailListVerify
EmailListVerify has the most simplistic platform out of all listed here. It is clear where you can verify a single email, where you can upload your file, and where you can use the integrations.
They don’t have many integrations; you can only choose from 9 email marketing tools.
They offer a 99% accuracy rate and have free tools, including Email Health Checker, Blacklist Checker, Email Extractor, and MX Lookup.
The verification process is relatively fast, and the results are clearly displayed. You can also learn about the result codes and download the results in a file.
Prices are comparatively high when we consider the limited service.
There is no opportunity for automated email verification.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- 99% accuracy
- Results clearly displayed
- Fast verification process
Cons:
- Limited service compared to others
- High prices
- No automated email verification
10. SendPlus
SendPlus is not an email verifier alone but a whole system in which email verification only plays a smaller part. Therefore, the platform is not exactly designed for those who only verify email addresses but create email marketing campaigns and templates and manage your customer base.
The deliverability accuracy is not as high as for other services, only 95% and the verification process is quite slow when you upload larger files with a high number of email addresses.
You get your results in an email, but you can also check them on the site once the verification is completed. However, these are not too detailed results, only telling you how many good, invalid, and risky emails you have on your list.
The prices are really high if you want to purchase credits for only verification. The monthly subscription is much cheaper in this case.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend using SendPlus for only email verification purposes. It was created to be more than just a tool for verification, so if you are looking for an automated marketing ecosystem, it might be the right choice for you, but if you only want to verify emails, this might not be the best site to do that.
Pros:
- You can do much more than verify your emails here
- You can verify your already uploaded lists
- Monthly subscription for buying credits
Cons:
- Only a 95% accuracy rate
- Slow verification process
- Not detailed results
- High prices
- A bigger platform created for other purposes as well
