Which one is for you
Pick MillionVerifier if

- Works for cleaning now and then, as the credits never expire
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you need fewer than 10,000 checks, the smallest regular pack
- Not for you if you want EverClean's price up front, as it isn't published and it works only through integrations
- Skip it if you need warm-up, inbox placement tests or DMARC tools as well
- Watch out: there's no monthly credit plan, only an auto top-up that buys a new pack when the balance runs low
Pick Reacher if
- Fits if you can run a server and want verification inside your own system
- Works for developers who want to read and change the source
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you do not want to host and maintain a server

- Watch out: catch-all checks and hosted verification are a separate service, No2Bounce
- Watch out: the SMTP proxy service is separate and paid; its prices were not read
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAMillionVerifierFair | 2.0GPAReacherFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$39 for a one-off 10,000, and credits never expire. Among its listed rivals DeBounce ($25) and Clearout ($32 a month billed yearly) cost less at that size. At a million checks it's $449, where Bouncer charges $2,000. | CFree software, but you supply and run the server, which makes it a C under the ladder. The proxy service and hosted checks are priced separately and were not read. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but 100 free credits with no card, and the help centre lists 500 for business-email sign-ups. Enough to test, not to clean a list. | BThe engine is free to download and run under MIT. It costs you a server and an IP that mail servers will accept. |
| Features | CIt does the checking job fully: files, imports from email platforms, an API, refunds on unsure results and EverClean's daily rechecks. That's a smaller job, though: no warm-up, placement tests or DMARC, and EverClean's price isn't published. | CSMTP-based address check behind an HTTP backend. Catch-all checks come from a separate hosted service. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, but nothing to set up: upload a CSV, TXT or XLSX file, or import from your email platform, and download it sorted into good, risky and bad. | DSelf-hosting, and an HTTP API to call it. No rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a REST API, with more than 40 connections including Mailchimp, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, SendGrid, Mailgun, Zoho CRM and Pipedrive, plus an n8n node. No phone or desktop app. | CWeb only, and no integrations are listed. You get the source and an HTTP backend. |
| Best for | cleaning lists of hundreds of thousands | developers hosting their own email verifier |

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.
