Pricing
Two separate things, priced separately, so you only pay for the one you need. Validation credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire. Deliverability tools are a small monthly plan, with a free tier that stays free.
Validation credits
One credit per email verified, whether the answer is valid, invalid or risky. No subscription, no minimum, no expiry date.

Deliverability plans
Separate from credits, and not required to buy them. These cover the email server test, blacklist monitoring and DMARC monitoring.

Competitor figures are published list prices and plan inclusions read from zerobounce.net, clearout.io, neverbounce.com and easydmarc.com in September 2026; vendors change these without notice, so check before you buy. PilotVerify validation prices are our live credit packs. "Not offered" means the vendor does not sell that as part of the plans compared here — including where that vendor is us.
