Key features
Reacher
- SMTP-based address check

- Modifiable source
- The MIT-licensed code can be downloaded, changed and built into your own verification system.
- Port 25 SMTP proxies
- A separate Reacher service offers managed IP pools with rotation and MX-aware routing, for senders whose servers block verification traffic.
Reoon Email Verifier
- Bulk list verification
- Upload a CSV or paste a list; the page says 10,000 mixed-quality addresses take about 8 to 12 minutes, with results grouped by status.
- Real-time API
- A quick verification mode is meant for sign-up forms, and the page cites a response time of about 0.5 seconds.
- Status and score
- Every address gets a status (safe, role, catch-all, disposable, invalid and others) and an AI-based score out of 100.
- Automatic refund on unknowns
- Credits spent on unknown results are returned automatically, and the credits history shows each refund.
- WordPress form plugin
- A plugin checks addresses when a supported WordPress form is submitted and can block invalid or temporary ones.

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.
