Verify a GetProspect Export Before Cold Email
Re-check a GetProspect export the day you send it, even though GetProspect checks each email before charging for it. Its pricing page says every result is checked for deliverability, that unverifiable catch-alls are free, and that its own catch-all technology validates some catch-all addresses. That's a good start, but the check is from the day you revealed the lead. Export the list, flag rows on catch-all domains, run a live SMTP mailbox check on everything, send confirmed rows first and hold catch-alls for a smaller batch.
What GetProspect says
From GetProspect's pricing page, read 8 November 2026:
- "Every result is a real business email, checked for deliverability before a credit is deducted."
- "Our proprietary technology accurately validates emails on catch-all domains where other tools can't."
- "You spend a credit only when GetProspect gives you a valid email you don't own yet. Not found, invalid and unverifiable catch-all results are free."
- Email verifications are paid from a wallet at "$0.80 per 1,000 verifications", and "Emails GetProspect finds are already verified, so they cost no verifications."
- Exports are available as CSV and XLSX.
The page doesn't describe how its catch-all validation works. A catch-all server answers yes to every address during a standard SMTP check, so any method that calls one of those mailboxes valid is making an inference. Treat those rows as better than unknown, not as confirmed.
Why a "verified" GetProspect list can still bounce
- Job changes. The email was valid on reveal day. If the lead sat in a list for a month, a share of those people have moved on.
- Catch-all inference. Rows on catch-all domains that were judged valid can still bounce, because the server never confirmed the mailbox.
- Duplicates across tools. The same person found in GetProspect, Apollo and a scraped list ends up three times in your campaign.
- Reuse. A list exported for one campaign gets reloaded for the next one without a fresh check.
The pre-send routine
1. Export and tag catch-all domains
Export the list to CSV with email, name, company and domain. Run the domains through the bulk catch-all checker and add a column for catch-all yes or no. That's your batch two.
2. Dedupe against everything you already have
Merge the export with your other sources and remove repeats with remove duplicate emails. Remove anyone on your suppression list (past bounces, unsubscribes, replies asking not to be contacted) with compare email lists.
3. Verify on send day
Upload to the verify page. Each row gets a live SMTP check and comes back:
| Result | Action |
|---|---|
| Valid | Main sequence |
| Risky (catch-all) | Second wave, highest grades first |
| Risky (role, disposable, full) | Drop for cold outreach |
| Invalid | Suppress |
| Unknown | Re-check tomorrow |
SimpleVerifier reports catch-all addresses as risky with a grade and the reason, never as valid, so a catch-all row that another tool judged valid shows up here as something to send carefully (catch-all scoring).
4. Send in waves and watch the first 200
Start with valid rows. Send catch-alls a day later in a few hundred at most. If hard bounces in a wave pass 2%, stop it. Sequencers pause on their own rules, for example 8% in a day on Reply.io (Reply.io sequence suspended), 15% on Snov.io (Snov.io campaign paused) and lower elsewhere (bounce rate thresholds by platform).
5. Ask about bounce credits
If verified emails bounced, check whether your data vendor credits them back. Our guide to lead data bounce credit refunds lists what to ask.

Common questions
Does GetProspect verify emails?
Its pricing page says every result is a business email 'checked for deliverability before a credit is deducted', and that found emails cost no verifications. It also sells separate email verifications at $0.80 per 1,000 from a wallet balance.
Does GetProspect charge for catch-all emails?
Its FAQ says not found, invalid and 'unverifiable catch-all' results are free. Catch-alls it says it could validate with its own technology are charged as valid emails.
Why do GetProspect emails bounce if they were verified?
Usually for one of three reasons: the person left the company after you revealed the email, the domain is catch-all and accepted the check without having the mailbox, or the list was reused weeks later. A send-day check catches the first and flags the second.
How many GetProspect emails can I send per day?
That's set by your sending tool and mailbox, not GetProspect. Keep to the daily limits in your sequencer and see our guide to cold emails per day per inbox.
