Where Voila Norbert’s pricing bites
Voila Norbert charges $3.00 per 1,000, billed per email, pay as you go with no subscription, and verification is billed per email at $0.003 up to 500,000, so a 100,000-address list is a $300 job each time you run it. 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 Voila Norbert
Keep Voila Norbert if finding addresses is your main job. Its prospecting plans start at $49 a month for up to 1,000 leads, and verification is a cheap pay-as-you-go add-on. 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.
