What it actually costs, by list size
One pass over a list, on Findymail’s cheapest available route versus one month of SimpleVerifier. Where Findymail sells both a subscription and pay-as-you-go, the cheaper of the two is used.

One pass only. Every figure in the Findymail column recurs each time you re-verify; the SimpleVerifier column does not, because confirmed results are cached for 14 days and volume does not change the price. Adjust for your own pattern in the cost calculator.
Where Findymail’s pricing bites
Findymail charges $99 a month for 5,000 verifications, and rollover is capped at twice the monthly allowance, so a quiet quarter loses credits. That is not a criticism of the product — it is how per-address pricing works, and it is fine when your volume is small and steady. It stops being fine the month you acquire a list, inherit a CRM export, or want to re-check something you verified in the spring.
The reason we can price flat is narrow and worth stating plainly: a mailbox check is a DNS lookup plus a short SMTP conversation, and it costs us nothing per address. Metering it would be a pricing choice, not a cost recovery. The one feature with a genuine per-record cost — lead sourcing — does carry a published fair-use limit of 10,000 a month.
Who should stay with Findymail
Keep Findymail if finding addresses is the job. The $99 Starter plan is built around 5,000 finder credits, with 5,000 verifier credits as a bonus. A dedicated verifier replaces one part of that, not the whole thing, and switching to shave a few dollars a month while losing a workflow you depend on is a bad trade.
Test both before you decide
Do not take either vendor’s word on accuracy. Invent an address at a real domain and verify it on both. A tool doing real mailbox checks returns invalid; one checking only syntax and MX returns valid. Run the same test on any tool you are considering, ours included.
