Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 6 of the 15 other email verification and deliverability tools we grade

Bouncer cleans email lists: it checks each address and marks it deliverable, risky or undeliverable, through a web app, an API or a connection to an email platform. It does not warm up inboxes or manage DMARC, but a separate Deliverability Kit runs inbox placement and blocklist tests. Verification is bought as credits that never expire, from $8 for 1,000.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Bouncer, taken from its own pages and our grades.

  1. 1

    Best for list cleaning with credits that never expire

    It won't warm up an inbox or manage DMARC, though a separate kit tests where your mail lands.

  2. 2

    What it costs

    Paid plans start at $8 one-time for 1,000 verification credits.

  3. 3

    You can try it first

    100 free verification credits to start, no card required

  4. 4

    It runs on Web

    Web.

  5. 5

    List verification

    Upload a CSV and get each address back as deliverable, risky, undeliverable or unknown, with reasons. Catch-all domains get a deeper check.

  6. 6

    Verification API

    Synchronous and batch endpoints verify addresses from your own app, and an MCP server connects Bouncer to ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools.

  7. 7

    Toxicity Check

    Scores each address from 0 to 5 for risks such as breached or widely shared addresses, known complainers and likely spam traps.

  8. 8

    A 2.4 GPA, above 6 of 15

    That is against the other email verification and deliverability tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    Nothing Bouncer does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.

The report card

Best for list cleaning with credits that never expire

Bouncer checks a list and tells you which addresses are safe to send to, and its credits never expire, so it suits people who clean a list a few times a year. 10,000 checks cost $60, middle of the road for list cleaners. It won't warm up an inbox or manage DMARC, though a separate kit tests where your mail lands.

ToolGPA report cardBouncerGraded Oct 18, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyC10,000 checks cost $60 as a one-off pack, and the credits never expire. Against the list cleaners it's listed beside that's mid-pack: MillionVerifier is $39 and NeverBounce $50, Emailable is also $60, Kickbox $70 and ZeroBounce about $129.
Free plan and trialCNo free plan, but 100 free credits to start with no card. Enough to test a sample of your list, not to clean the whole thing.
FeaturesCIt cleans lists fully: deliverable, risky or undeliverable with reasons, a deeper catch-all check, a toxicity score and form checks. The Deliverability Kit tests placement and blocklists, but there's no warm-up or DMARC management, and the kit is sold apart.
Ease of useBNo App Store rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: upload a CSV and download it sorted, or connect Mailchimp, HubSpot or Klaviyo and check the list where it lives.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb, an API and an MCP server, plus Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Brevo, Pipedrive, lemlist, Make and MailerLite. No phone or desktop app.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Bouncer is for

  • Great if you clean a list a few times a year and don't want a subscription
  • Handy when you want placement and blocklist tests from the same company
  • Good for companies that want their data processed and hosted in the EU

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you need a new inbox warmed up, as Bouncer doesn't do that
  • Pricey if you also want the Deliverability Kit, sold apart from $25 a month

Good to know

Good for

  • Marketers who clean a list now and then and do not want a subscription
  • Teams that also want to test inbox placement and watch blocklists
  • Companies that want their data processed and hosted in the EU

Worth knowing

  • Credits can also be bought as a monthly subscription that refills each month; the page shows its price only inside the calculator.
  • Bouncer Shield, for form checks, is a separate monthly subscription priced by the number of checks.
  • The Deliverability Kit is sold separately from verification credits.
  • Bouncer does not warm up inboxes or manage DMARC records; the kit only tests them.

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

Nothing Bouncer does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.

It costs $8, paid once.

What you could not

  • Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
  • It plugs into other products, Mailchimp, HubSpot and Klaviyo among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. Bouncer’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
