The report card
Best for email validation by list upload or API
MailboxValidator checks addresses by bulk upload or API, with a free 300 queries a month. Its paid plans start at $29.95 for 3,000 queries, bulk queries lapse after 30 days, and Yahoo validation isn't supported at the moment.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $29.95 a month for 3,000 queries, or $19.95 for 1,000 bulk queries, around the category's $23 middle for far fewer checks. |
| Free plan and trial | C | API-FREE gives 300 queries a month, renewing, which a list will pass. Bulk has 100 free queries valid 30 days. |
| Features | C | Bulk cleaning, an API, disposable and role detection and SDKs. But the plans page says Yahoo validation isn't supported at the moment. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You upload lists or call the API. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with Mailchimp, SendGrid, AWeber, Mailgun and ActiveCampaign links, plus SDK modules. |
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.
