How Giggal.ai verifies catch-all addresses
Hunter verifies as part of a finding-and-outreach workflow, and on catch-all domains it flags the address accept-all without confirming the mailbox. Giggal.ai is built for verification, so it routes those addresses down a separate path and returns one of four results, and it verifies behind secure email gateways too.
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Deliverable | The mailbox exists and will accept mail |
| Undeliverable | The mailbox does not exist |
| Risky | The address exists but carries deliverability risk |
| Unknown | We could not verify the address, and the credit is refunded |
Hunter pricing vs Giggal.ai
Hunter is sold as a monthly subscription with pooled credits, and each verification spends half a credit from the plan allowance. The smallest plan that covers 10,000 verifications a month is Growth at $149 a month; 100,000 and a million a month run past the standard plans and are quoted by sales. Giggal.ai is pay-as-you-go at $9.90 for 10,000, $76 for 100,000 and $680 for a million, with credits that never expire and no monthly commitment.
| Volume | Giggal.ai | Hunter |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $9.90 | $149/mo |
| 100,000 | $76 | Enterprise |
| 1,000,000 | $680 | Enterprise |
Hunter is sold as a monthly subscription with pooled credits (verification is 0.5 credit each). The 10k figure is the smallest monthly plan that covers that many verifications (Growth, billed monthly; annual billing is lower). Higher volumes are enterprise-quoted. Giggal.ai figures are one-time pay-as-you-go.
