- Watch out: there is only a web dashboard and API, no apps
How we grade them
| 2.4GPANeverBounceFair | 3.0GPAQuickEmailVerificationVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$50 for a one-off 10,000 checks. Among its listed rivals that's under Bouncer and Emailable ($60) and Kickbox ($70), but DeBounce charges $25. And the credits expire 12 months after purchase, where Bouncer's, Emailable's and DeBounce's never do. | AFree gives 100 credits a day, and paid packs start at $4 for 500 and $60 for 10,000, under the $8 middle for one-time prices in the category. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but free test credits and a free analysis of your list, with no card. That shows how messy a list is; it won't clean it. | B100 credits a day, reset daily. One person can live on that, but there is no larger monthly bucket. |
| Features | CIt does the checking job fully: bulk cleaning, a real-time API, typo fixes, the company behind each address and automatic Sync.

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.
