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.

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
Both BounceBan and Giggal.ai charge a flat 1 credit per verification. The difference is price: at 10,000 credits, BounceBan is $34 and Giggal.ai is $9.90, making Giggal.ai more than 70% cheaper ($0.00099 vs $0.0034 per email).
