Wiza Alternatives: Cheaper Ways to Check LinkedIn Exports Before You Send
Wiza and a verifier do different jobs, and you may only need one of them. Wiza turns searches into contact lists, and its individual Email plan is $83 a month per user on the pricing page we read today. If the list is already in your hands, a flat verification plan is cheaper: SimpleVerifier Pro is $39 a month, with the first 100,000 checks a month at full speed, then slower, never cut off. If you rely on Wiza to pull people out of LinkedIn searches, keep it for that.
What Wiza charges
From the Wiza pricing page, read on 9 November 2026. Individual plans:
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Email credits | Phone credits | Exports |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | – | 20 valid emails | 5 phone numbers | Not listed |
| $83 per user | $990 per user | Unlimited email reveals | $0.35 per phone number | 2,500 a month | |
| Email + Phone | $166 per user | $1,990 per user | Unlimited email reveals | Unlimited phone reveals | 2,500 a month |
Team plans, priced per user a month:
| Plan | Monthly | Valid emails | Phone numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $49 | 100 a month, then $0.15 per extra | 100 a month, then $0.35 per extra |
| $99 | 500 a month, then $0.15 per extra | $0.35 each | |
| Email + Phone | $199 | 500 a month, then $0.15 per extra | 500 a month, then $0.35 per extra |
| Team | Custom, billed annually, 3+ users | Unlimited valid emails | Unlimited phone numbers |
The page says individual customers receive unlimited credits when they pay yearly. It does not say whether unused credits roll over, and it does not state in words that invalid emails are never charged. We left both out of the comparison rather than guess.
Why a LinkedIn extractor and a verifier are different tools
Wiza reads a search and gives you contacts. A verifier is a second pass that asks the mail server whether each address will accept a message. Reasons to run that second pass:
- Age. A list pulled in September is a different list in November. See the email list decay calculator.
- Mixed sources. Your final campaign file usually combines Wiza output with CRM exports, event lists and client files. Only one of those came from Wiza.
- Per-user pricing. Wiza is priced per seat. Verification volume does not need a seat per person.
Our guide to verifying a Wiza export covers the CSV steps.
When to stay with Wiza
Stay if:
- LinkedIn search is your lead source. Searching and exporting is the product.
- You want phone numbers as well. A verifier like ours checks emails, and the extractor is where phones come from.
- Your list is small. On the free plan, 20 valid emails is enough to try the workflow.
When an alternative fits better
| Your situation | What to look at |
|---|---|
| You only need existing lists checked | A flat verification plan, with no seat |
| Several people check lists | One verification plan can serve a team, where Wiza prices per user |
| You send to a mix of sources | Verify the combined file once, before sending |
| You need a finder without LinkedIn | See best email finder tools |
What a flat verification plan includes
SimpleVerifier Pro is $39 a month (or $390 a year). Email verification is the first 100,000 checks a month at full speed, then slower, never cut off.
Per the pricing page, Pro also includes:
- CSV upload, up to 100,000 rows per file
- Real SMTP mailbox checks, not just syntax
- Catch-all, disposable and role-address detection
- Export valid, risky or invalid separately
- An email finder (name and company to a verified address) and website enrichment
- API: 10,000 calls a month included, then $1.50 per 1,000
Only email verification has the 100,000 full-speed fair-use line. The finder and API are not unlimited.
A workflow that keeps Wiza and cuts the bill
- Extract the leads you actually plan to email. Do not export a whole search just because you can.
- Keep a source column so you can trace bounces later. Find which list source caused bounces explains it.
- Merge in other lists and remove repeats with the duplicate email remover.
- Verify the combined file at /verify, the same week you send.
- Split by result. Valid rows go to the sequence, risky rows to a small, slow campaign, invalid rows to suppression.
- Import with clean columns. Clean CSV columns before import covers the mapping.
What about catch-all domains?
A catch-all domain accepts every address at the SMTP step, so a standard check can't confirm a single mailbox there. That is true for every verifier. Treat catch-all rows as their own group: send to them slower and watch the bounce rate. Our guide to what to do with catch-all emails covers the options, and you can test a domain with the catch-all checker.
How to compare results fairly
- Pull 300 to 500 random rows with the email list sampler.
- Verify them in Wiza and in SimpleVerifier on the same day.
- Line up the results with compare email lists.
- Look at the disagreements, especially valid in one and risky in the other.

Questions to ask before you switch
- How many people use Wiza? Per-user pricing multiplies. Count seats, not just emails.
- How much of my send file comes from Wiza? If it is a fraction, most checks never touch it.
- Do I need phone numbers? If yes, Wiza stays in the stack.
- When do I re-check? Re-verifying right before a send is cheap with a flat plan.
Quick answers
- Is Wiza a verifier? It is a lead extraction tool. Verification is part of how it returns emails, but it is not a bulk checker for lists from elsewhere.
- Can I use Wiza with SimpleVerifier? Yes. Export from Wiza, verify the CSV, then upload to your sequencer.
- Is the free plan enough to test? 20 valid emails and 5 phone numbers, per the page.

Common questions
What is a cheaper alternative to Wiza?
It depends on the job. If you need LinkedIn search extraction, Wiza's Team Starter plan at $49 per user a month is the lowest paid price on its page. If you already have leads and only need them verified, SimpleVerifier Pro is $39 a month with the first 100,000 checks a month at full speed, then slower, never cut off.
How much does Wiza cost?
On 9 November 2026 its page listed a Free plan with 20 valid emails, an Email plan at $83 per user a month ($990 a year), and an Email + Phone plan at $166 per user a month ($1,990 a year). Team plans listed Starter at $49, Email at $99 and Email + Phone at $199 per user a month.
Does Wiza charge for invalid emails?
Its page describes credits as valid emails and prices extra ones at $0.15 each on team plans. It does not say in words whether invalid results are never charged, so check before relying on it.
Do Wiza credits roll over?
The pricing page does not say. Ask support or read its terms before you plan around it.
Should I verify Wiza exports again?
If the export is more than a few weeks old, yes. People change jobs and mailboxes close, so a check right before sending catches addresses that went bad after they were found.
Check your list before you send
Real mailbox checks over SMTP, and nothing is sent to the address. Sign in with Google and your first 100 email checks are free, no card. Plans for bigger lists are on the pricing page.
