Compare 28 email verification tools on price, catch-all and SEG

Almost every verifier handles a clean domain. The list below is ordered by what happens on the addresses that are actually hard: accept-all domains, and mailboxes sitting behind a secure email gateway. Price breaks the ties.

We publish this list and we sell one of the tools on it, so the ranking method is spelled out below and every price carries the date we checked it.

Want our tested shortlist? See the best email verification software.

How this list is ordered

  1. Does it resolve catch-all? A tool that returns a real valid or invalid result on an accept-all domain ranks above one that hands the address back labelled Catch-All, Risky or Unknown. Partial means the tool resolves only some catch-all addresses and returns the rest as Catch-All or Risky.
  2. Does it verify behind a secure email gateway? Proofpoint, Mimecast and Barracuda accept everything at the edge, which defeats the ordinary check. Few tools claim this at all.
  3. What does 10,000 verifications cost? Used only to break ties within a band. A vendor that does not publish a 10,000 price sorts last in its band rather than being given a number we could not verify.

Facts come from each vendor’s own live pricing and documentation pages. Anything we could not read directly is marked Not published rather than estimated.

The 28 tools, in order

  1. 1 Giggal.ai

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $9.90

    Our own catch-all email verifier, and the reason we built the list. It resolves accept-all domains to valid or invalid instead of labelling them, verifies behind 15 named secure email gateways, and costs $9.90 per 10,000 with credits that never expire. It does not find email addresses and it has a smaller review history than the older names below, both of which matter if that is what you are shopping for.

    Best for: B2B lists where a large share of contacts sit on catch-all or gateway domains.

  2. 2 no2bounce

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $17

    Catch-all, named gateways and credits that never expire, the same shape as us, at $17 per 10,000 against our $9.90. Giggal.ai is cheaper across the board. no2bounce vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A published price ladder with seven volume steps.

  3. 3 BounceBan

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $34

    Also resolves catch-all and SEG, so it comes down to terms: our 1,000 free bulk credits against a single-only free tier, a full price list against a calculator, 15 named gateways against 3. BounceBan vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Unlimited free single verifications, which Giggal has no equivalent for.

  4. 4 Scrubby

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $80

    Validates catch-all and SEG too, but at $80 per 10k and 3 credits per catch-all. We are $9.90 and 1 credit flat, with 1,000 free bulk credits. Scrubby vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A tool built specifically to recover catch-all and risky addresses.

  5. 5 Allegrow

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $139 / month

    The closest positioning to ours: catch-all resolved to valid or invalid, gateways named, and a 99% claim against our 98.5%. It is priced as a $99 monthly subscription with $8 per 1,000 add-ons, and it does sender reputation work we do not. Allegrow vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: An unlimited verification tier, which Giggal has no equivalent for.

  6. 6 DeBounce

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $25

    Charges 10 credits per catch-all as a separate product, against 1 credit flat here. Standard checks are 1 credit and unknowns are free. DeBounce vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Strong WordPress and signup-form validation.

  7. 7 Bounceless

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $29

    Now resolves catch-all too, but bills 5 credits each against our 1 credit flat, at $29 per 10k. We add SEG and 1,000 free bulk credits. Bounceless vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A sliding volume rate, as low as $0.28 per 1,000 at high volume.

  8. 8 Bouncer

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $60

    Resolves catch-all too, via Deep Catch-All Verification on Google and Microsoft, but costs $60 at 10k against our $9.90 and does not verify behind gateways. The closest match on results here. Bouncer vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: An Email Toxicity Check that flags spam traps and complainers, which Giggal does not offer.

  9. 9 Instantly

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $197 / month

    A sending platform where verification is one feature billed at 0.25 credit per lead, so 10,000 a month needs the $197 plan. It sends the campaign too, which we do not. Instantly vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Actually sending the campaign, which Giggal does not do: inbox rotation, warmup and sequencing in one platform.

  10. 10 Anymail Finder

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $199 / month

    Verifies catch-all rather than skipping it, and claims 98.9% accuracy at 86.4% coverage. Monthly subscription at $199 for 10,000 against our $9.90 one-time, and it finds addresses, which we do not. Anymail Finder vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Finding email addresses from a name and domain, which Giggal does not do.

  11. 11 LeadMagic

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $249 / month

    Resolves catch-all and publishes its own benchmark on it, which is more than most vendors do. It is an enrichment subscription though: 10,000 a month means the $249 Growth plan, against $9.90 one-time here. LeadMagic vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A wide enrichment surface beyond verification: mobile numbers, company data, job changes and ad intelligence.

  12. 12 Apollo

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: Not published

    A sales platform where verification is one feature; it claims 91% on catch-all. We are a dedicated verifier that resolves catch-all and SEG, pay-as-you-go. Apollo vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A very large B2B contact and company database, which Giggal does not offer.

  13. 13 Findymail

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: Not published

    Verifies catch-all and guarantees a bounce rate under 5%, but it is a finder first and sells one $99 monthly plan with 5,000 verifier credits. Nothing above that is priced publicly. Findymail vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Finding email addresses in the first place, which Giggal does not do at all.

  14. 14 Listmint

    Resolves catch-all: YesVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: Not published

    Returns catch_all_valid and catch_all_invalid as explicit result codes, which is genuinely useful. It meters catch-all from a separate, smaller credit pool, and its prices render in the browser so we could not verify them. Listmint vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Explicit catch_all_valid and catch_all_invalid result codes, which are easy to filter on.

  15. 15 ZeroBounce

    Resolves catch-all: PartialVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $129

    Marks catch-all addresses Catch-All without confirming the mailbox, and costs $129 at 10k against $9.90 here. Its deliverability suite is what keeps some teams on it. ZeroBounce vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A bundled deliverability suite Giggal has no equivalent for: inbox placement testing, DMARC monitoring, blacklist monitoring and email warmup.

  16. 16 MillionVerifier

    Resolves catch-all: PartialVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $39

    Its Catch-All Verifier resolves roughly 30 to 40% of accept-all addresses and marks the remainder Risky, and it managed 5% in the LeadMagic test, the lowest here. The per-credit rate at a million is low, but a large part of that segment comes back unusable. MillionVerifier vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: $449 per 1,000,000 verifications.

  17. 17 NeverBounce

    Resolves catch-all: PartialVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $50

    Resolved 8% of catch-alls in the LeadMagic test, and its PAYG runs $50 at 10k against our $9.90. A fit mainly if you clean lists inside a CRM. NeverBounce vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A much larger integration surface, roughly 80 or more native integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo.

  18. 18 Emailable

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: Yes10,000 emails: $60

    Marks accept-all addresses Risky without confirming them, and runs $60 at 10k against our $9.90. Fast, with a generous 250-credit free tier. Emailable vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: 250 free credits to start, the largest free tier among these tools.

  19. 19 Reoon

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $11.90

    Reports catch-all as a status without confirming the mailbox, and does not advertise SEG support. Priced close to us at 10k, so the result on hard addresses is what decides it. Reoon vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Unknown results are auto-refunded.

  20. 20 MyEmailVerifier

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $15

    $15 at 10k and $349 at a million, but flags catch-all rather than resolving it. We resolve it, and add SEG. MyEmailVerifier vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A very low headline rate of $0.0025 per verification.

  21. 21 EmailListVerify

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $27

    At $27 per 10k, where we are $9.90, and it returns catch-all as ok_for_all without confirming. We resolve it. EmailListVerify vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A low per-credit price, $27 for 10,000, with free tools alongside.

  22. 22 Mailfloss

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $40

    A subscription tool that auto-cleans your ESP list daily but flags catch-all rather than resolving it. We resolve it, pay-as-you-go at $9.90. Mailfloss vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Automatic daily cleaning wired directly into your email platform.

  23. 23 QuickEmailVerification

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $60

    $60 per 10k, and returns catch-all as a status without confirming it. We resolve it, at $9.90. QuickEmailVerification vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: 100 free credits every day, plus a monthly free allowance.

  24. 24 Clearout

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $65

    Returns catch-all as its own status without confirming the mailbox, at $65 per 10,000 pay-as-you-go. Bundles an email finder and phone validation. Clearout vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A combined suite beyond verification, including an email finder and phone-number validation.

  25. 25 Kickbox

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $70

    Flags accept-all with a field rather than resolving it, at $70 per 10,000 one-time. A developer favourite with strong API docs. Kickbox vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A developer-first API with strong documentation and a real-time verification endpoint.

  26. 26 BriteVerify

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $80

    An enterprise verifier from Validity that flags accept-all as risky, with published bundles around $80 per 10,000. We publish $9.90 at 10k and resolve catch-all. BriteVerify vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: Part of Validity, an established deliverability suite with enterprise support.

  27. 27 Hunter

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $149 / month

    A finder-first platform where verification is bundled into monthly plans. We are a dedicated verifier that resolves catch-all, at a published $9.90 per 10,000. Hunter vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: A leading email finder and domain search, which Giggal does not do.

  28. 28 Snov.io

    Resolves catch-all: NoVerifies behind SEG: No10,000 emails: $189 / month

    A finder and outreach platform with verification bundled into its credits. We resolve catch-all and publish a flat per-credit price. Snov.io vs Giggal.ai

    Better than us at: An email finder plus drip campaigns and a lightweight CRM.

Why most email verifiers stop at catch-all

On clean domains, every verifier here lands in the same place. The split is the hard part of a business list: catch-all domains, and domains behind a secure email gateway. Both accept mail whether or not the mailbox exists, so the ordinary check returns nothing.

Most tools just tag the address Catch-All or Risky and hand it back unconfirmed. The resolve-catch-all column above is where that shows. Giggal.ai returns a real result on both catch-all and risky emails and emails protected by SEG gateways. Several tools here now attempt catch-all, including BounceBan, Bouncer, Scrubby and Bounceless, at varying depth and price. Giggal.ai resolves it at a flat 1 credit and also verifies behind 15 named secure email gateways.
