How each one bills you
Clearout charges $23 a month for 3,000 credits, or pay as you go from $8.00 per 1,000 on a 5,000 pack, falling to $1.00 at 10,000,000, metered as monthly credits that roll over, or one-time credits. Emailable charges $32.30 a month for 5,000 credits, or pay as you go from $7.60 per 1,000 on a 5,000 pack, falling to $2.10 at 1,000,000, metered as credits that never expire; subscription credits roll over.
Clearout says its pay-as-you-go credits never expire. Emailable says its pay-as-you-go credits never expire. For uneven volume, expiry often matters more than the headline price, because credits that lapse raise the real cost of every address you did verify.
What to watch with Clearout: the monthly-billed price is far above the annual one — 10,000 a month is $58 billed monthly against $32 a month billed yearly — so the low headline needs a year's commitment. With Emailable: it is priced per credit, so the bill scales with the list: 100,000 a month is $357 even with the subscription discount, and every re-check is billed again.
Both meter verifications, so checking the same list again costs again. Before committing to either, verify an address you invented at a real domain and an address at a catch-all domain on both. The first should come back invalid and the second as risky or accept-all, not valid.
Choose Clearout if
you want Clearout's prospecting database and integrations, and can commit to annual billing.
Choose Emailable if

Disclosure — our product
Where SimpleVerifier fits, and where it does not
We publish this comparison and we sell a third option, so treat the rest of this section as the pitch it is. SimpleVerifier is a flat monthly price with unlimited email verifications and API access included, so there are no credits to buy or expire:
Pro $29.99/mo
Unlimited email verification, finder and phone format checks.
Email + Phone $49.99/mo
Everything in Pro, plus live carrier lookups for your phone lists.
That is worth it in two cases: large lists, because volume does not change the price, and lists you verify repeatedly, because a confirmed result is cached for 14 days so the second pass costs nothing. Outside those two cases, a metered vendor is usually cheaper and you should use one, Clearout and Emailable included.
