Best email verifier for catch-all emails: 7 tools compared

Which one should you pick?

• Pick MyEmailVerifier if you verify under about 25,000 addresses a month, want credits that never expire, or want to pay with PayPal or crypto.

• Pick Truelist if you clean a list once or twice, or your B2B lists are mostly catch-all domains and you want those resolved rather than graded.

• Pick DeBounce if you clean small or one-off lists and want credits that never expire, with no subscription to cancel.

• Pick Bounceless if you verify under about 20,000 addresses a month, want credits that never expire, or want sender health and inbox placement tools in the same account.

• Pick BounceBan if your lists are mostly catch-all B2B domains and you need each of those addresses answered rather than graded.

• Pick Scrubby if your list is full of catch-all or gateway-protected addresses and you will pay for each one to be resolved, or wait up to 72 hours for Deep Verification.

• Pick SimpleVerifier if you verify or re-check lists every month and want one flat monthly price instead of credits, with catch-all addresses kept risky rather than marked valid.

  Skip SimpleVerifier if you want the lowest price for one small list, where another vendor's pack can cost less (cost by list size); you need your data processed only inside the EU (our service providers process data in several countries, including the US); or your list is mostly Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live addresses, which Microsoft currently won't let us confirm, so they come back risky (why).

How we compared

We took each vendor's own description of its catch-all handling and its published price from our dated vendor data, and list the vendor page under each row. What a vendor says it does is not a measured result: We did not run an accuracy benchmark, so nothing here ranks accuracy: test a shortlist on a sample of your own list, including addresses you know are dead. Vendors that do not describe a separate catch-all step are not listed here; see the main roundup.

Each tool in a few lines

1. 1. MyEmailVerifier

   Best for: Small monthly volumes at a low per-address price

   • Small monthly volumes cost less: its plans are $7 for 5,000, $12 for 10,000 and $25 for 25,000 a month, plus 5% bonus credits.
   • A verified account gets 100 free credits every day, against our first 100 free checks.
   • Watch out: The allowance is a credit count, so 100,000 a month is $89 on a plan or $99 as a pack, and its FAQ says it never stores a result, so every re-check of the same list spends credits again.

2. 2. Truelist

   Best for: B2B lists with many catch-all domains

   • It resolves many catch-all addresses with an enhanced check that runs only where the standard check returns unknown, at 3 credits per resolved address. SimpleVerifier grades catch-all rows but does not resolve them.
   • One-off passes are cheap: 10,000 credits cost $14 and 100,000 cost $90 at its published rates, and credits never expire.
   • Watch out: Every pass is a fresh credit purchase, and the flat-rate Unlimited plan starts at $799 a month only on a 12-month commitment billed upfront ($999 a month on 3 months).

3. 3. DeBounce

   Best for: Small and one-off lists on credits that never expire

   • Pay-as-you-go credits never expire, and every feature is included on every plan, API included.
   • Duplicates are removed for free, so you never pay twice for the same address in one list.
   • Watch out: Every option is metered by the credit, so every pass over the list is billed again — the cost scales with how often you clean, not just how much.

4. 4. Bounceless

   Best for: Small monthly volumes and a monthly free allowance

   • A work email gets 1,000 free credits every month, against our first 100 free checks.
   • Its pricing page says credits never expire, on credit packs and subscriptions alike, and unconfirmed results are not billed.
   • Watch out: The allowance is a credit count, so 100,000 a month is $99 on Business and $159 as a pack, and every re-check of the same list spends credits again.

5. 5. BounceBan

   Best for: Lists made mostly of catch-all B2B domains

   • Its pages say it verifies catch-all and SEG-protected addresses, not only flags them, and does so without sending an email; SimpleVerifier grades catch-all rows by likelihood instead.
   • Its FAQ says unused monthly or yearly credits roll over and do not expire.
   • Watch out: Its packs are priced for catch-all work, $40 for 10,000 and $300 for 100,000, so a list that is mostly ordinary domains pays catch-all rates on every address, again on every pass.

6. 6. Scrubby

   Best for: Catch-all and gateway-protected addresses, resolved per address

   • Its pricing page says Quick Verification (1 credit) confirms deliverability on catch-all and SEG-protected domains, and Deep Verification (3 credits) sends a real email to each address and watches how servers respond for 72 hours.
   • Unused credits on monthly plans roll over while the subscription is active, and PayGo credits never expire.
   • Watch out: The plans stop at 100,000 credits for $497 a month, Deep Verification spends 3 credits per address, and its pricing page says all purchases are final, with no refunds for unused credits.

7. 7. SimpleVerifier(our tool)

   Best for: Lists on ordinary domains, where a likelihood grade is enough

   • Catch-all addresses come back risky, never guessed valid
   • Connects to Instantly, Smartlead, HubSpot and Mailchimp by API key
   • Watch out: The free allowance is a one-time 100 checks, not a monthly refill
   • Watch out: Starter has no API and its allowance does not roll over; 10,000 a month needs Pro

Common questions

What is a catch-all email address?

An address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any name, so a check cannot tell whether the mailbox exists. Sending to a list full of them is a bounce risk. See catch-all scoring.

Should I send to catch-all addresses?

Not mixed into the main campaign. Send them as a small separate batch and watch bounces. SimpleVerifier returns them as risky with a likelihood grade, never as valid.

Can a verifier confirm a catch-all address is real?

Some vendors say they can resolve many of them with an extra, paid step; the rows above show which, and how it is priced. SimpleVerifier does not resolve them and does not guess them valid.

Is the cheapest verifier the most accurate?

We did not run an accuracy benchmark, so nothing here ranks accuracy: test a shortlist on a sample of your own list, including addresses you know are dead.
