What else the pricing page says:
- Free credits: 100 to start; no credit card required.
- Not charged: duplicate addresses within a list, and
unknownresults. - Expiry: credits “never expire”, both one-time purchases and subscription credits.
- Monthly option: you can subscribe to the same amount of credits every month, or set up auto-refill.
- Enterprise: custom pricing with a multi-organization setup, custom agreements and a dedicated account manager.
Bouncer’s other products
The Deliverability Kit (test emails plus IP and domain monitoring) is a separate subscription: Starter $25 a month (250 test emails, 10 IPs or domains monitored), Standard $125 (1,000 tests, 25), Pro $250 (2,500 tests, 50), Enterprise custom. Bouncer Shield is priced on its own, from $2 for 1,000 checks a month. You can buy verification without either.
Quick verdict
- Stay with Bouncer if you want EU hosting, credits that never expire, native integrations with tools like Klaviyo, or its Deliverability Kit next to verification.
- Choose emailvalidation.io if you verify every month through an API or in lists: 5,000 checks cost $9.99 a month instead of $35, and 100,000 cost $94.99 instead of $400.
- Choose MillionVerifier for one very large list: 1 million credits for $449, against $2,000 at Bouncer.

Where Bouncer is stronger
- Credits that never expire. Buy 100,000 once and use them over two years. Our plans are monthly allowances.
- Unknown results are always free. Bouncer doesn’t charge for
unknownresults on any check. We refund timeouts in bulk jobs when the job completes; single API calls that return a result count against your quota. - EU hosting. Bouncer’s pricing page says it is hosted in the EU. Our checks run on our own servers in Germany, but requests reach them through Cloudflare, which also stores uploaded lists.
- More native integrations. Bouncer’s integrations page lists 25 apps, including Klaviyo, MailerLite, lemlist and Pipedrive. We connect through the Zapier integration, the API and the MCP server.
- A
riskystatus and toxicity data. Catch-all, full-mailbox and disposable addresses get their own status. Its API documentation also showstoxicandtoxicityfields. - Deliverability tools. Test emails and IP/domain monitoring are available as an add-on. We have a free email spam checker, which is not the same thing.
Where emailvalidation.io is the better fit
Monthly volume costs less. At 5,000 checks a month, Bouncer credits cost $35 and our Small plan $9.99. At 25,000, our Medium plan is $34.99; Bouncer has no 25,000 pack; the nearest are 10,000 for $60 and 50,000 for $250. At 100,000, it’s $94.99 against $400. The full table is on our email validation API pricing page.
Bulk jobs built for automation. POST /v1/bulk takes up to 100,000 addresses as a JSON array or a CSV/TXT file. When the job is done, you get one signed webhook (HMAC-SHA256) and download JSON or a CSV with your original columns plus 15 result columns. A failed job is refunded in full, and deleting a job refunds the addresses not yet verified. Large lists can take a day or longer, because checks are paced per receiving mail server. Our email list cleaning service page shows the steps.
Catch-all checks on request. Catch-all addresses come back as deliverable with the reason low_deliverability, so you can treat them separately; the catch_all field needs catch_all=1. Read what a catch-all email is before deciding whether to mail them.
An API for code paths. Each response from the email validation API has 15 fields, including reason, score and did_you_mean; only successful calls count against your quota.
What you give up compared with Bouncer: credits that never expire, free unknown results on every check, more native integrations, and the add-on deliverability tools.
Moving from Bouncer
Bouncer status | emailvalidation.io state |
|---|---|
deliverable | deliverable |
risky, reason low_ | deliverable, reason low_ |
undeliverable (rejected_email, invalid_domain, invalid_email) | undeliverable (invalid_mailbox, invalid_mx, invalid_format) |
unknown (timeout, unavailable_smtp) | unknown (timeout, unavailable_smtp) |
The reason names are close, so most mapping is a lookup table. For the other fields: Bouncer’s acceptAll: yes becomes our catch_all: true (with catch_all=1); disposable, role and free keep their names but are true/false instead of yes/no/unknown; and score runs from 0 to 1 instead of 0 to 100.
