Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you are one person: Starter is $99 a month for 5,000 contacts
  • Pricey if you want native CRM links, as they sit on $1,340 a month billed annually

  • Not for you if you need warm-up, placement tests or DMARC tools as well
  • Watch out: Threat Score costs one more credit when it finds a signal, which can double the price of an address

Value for money
DStarter is $99 a month for 5,000 contacts, which is where the dearest tenth of deliverability tools starts. Extra credits are $8 per 1,000, and unlimited verification is $1,340 a month.
C$70 for a one-off pack of 10,000. Among its listed rivals only ZeroBounce (about $129) costs more; NeverBounce is $50, Bouncer and Emailable $60 and DeBounce $25. Unknown results are refunded, and Threat Score costs one more credit only when it finds something.
Free plan and trial
C14-day trial that verifies up to 1,000 addresses, without integrations, API access or mailbox connection. There is no free plan, and the listing does not say if a card is needed.
CNo free plan, but the first 100 checks are free. Enough to see what the results look like, not to clean a real list.
Features
CCatch-all verification, risk flags, domain health and DNS monitoring. Starter has no native integrations and API access is on request.
CIt does the checking job fully: bulk lists, a real-time API with a sandbox, a free check for disposable domains and an optional Threat Score. That's a smaller job, though: no warm-up, placement tests or DMARC tools.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. You upload CSVs and connect a mailbox for domain tracking, so there is some setting up.
BNo App Store rating on record, but nothing to set up: upload a list and it comes back sorted by deliverability. Kickbox says 100,000 addresses take about an hour.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb, with native HubSpot, Outreach and Salesloft only on the top plan and a Clay link through an API key.
BWeb and an API, with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Braze, Iterable, SendGrid and Salesforce, and more through Zapier. No phone or desktop app.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
