A BounceBan alternative for catch-all verification
Both tools resolve catch-all and SEG addresses without sending mail. The difference is the terms: our free tier runs on a bulk list, our price list is public, and we name 15 gateways.
Bottom line
- Same job
- Both resolve catch-all and SEG without sending. This is the closest matchup here.
- Free tier
- 1,000 bulk credits here. Theirs is single checks only, so you cannot test a list.
- Pricing
- Full published price list here. Theirs is a calculator.
- Gateways
- 15 named here, against their 3.
Both resolve catch-all and SEG
BounceBan resolves catch-all and gateway addresses too, without sending mail, and claims over 97% on catch-all. So this is not about capability. It comes down to what you pay, what you can test for free, and how public the pricing is.
The free tier difference
BounceBan gives unlimited single checks for free, which is handy for one address at a time. It does not let you run a list, because bulk needs credits. Our 1,000 free credits work on a bulk upload, so you can test a real segment, catch-all and gateway rows included, before paying anything. If your question is how a tool performs on your list, that gap decides it.
Price per catch-all address
A credit comparison would mislead. BounceBan charges a flat 1 credit; we charge 1.5 for a catch-all. But a credit is not a price. At 10,000, BounceBan is $34 and we are $9.90, so a BounceBan credit is about $0.0034 and ours is $0.00099. That puts a BounceBan catch-all near $0.0034 and a Giggal.ai catch-all near $0.0015.
| Volume | Giggal.ai | BounceBan |
