Email verification tools compared by price

How we compared

We read every price and free allowance off each vendor's own pricing page on 19 October 2026 and list the page under each tool. We compared price only, at one volume, because that is what the pages publish; we did not run an accuracy benchmark, so nothing here ranks accuracy. Annual-billing prices are noted in the text but not used for the ranking.

   • A 10,000-credit pack is $25 one-time, so a one-off clean costs less than any monthly plan here

3. 3. SimpleVerifier(our tool)

   Best for: Lists over about 25,000 a month, or lists re-checked often
