Wiza alternative
Wiza costs $83 a month, or $990 for a year, metered as per user: unlimited email reveals and 2,500 exports a month on the email plan; team plans from $49 per user. SimpleVerifier starts at $9 a month for 2,500 emails a month, and Pro is $39 a month for unlimited email verification. No cap, never cut off. Fair use: the first 100,000 checks a month run at full speed, then big lists run in a paced lane. The first 100 checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card. Both run real SMTP mailbox checks. Keep Wiza if you build lists from LinkedIn searches. Wiza finds the contact and the page lists email verification with the reveal, so there is no second tool for that job.

What is a cheaper Wiza alternative for verifying and finding emails?
SimpleVerifier verifies emails with a real SMTP mailbox check and includes an email finder (name + company to a verified address) on Pro, $39 a month with 100,000 verifications at full speed. Starter is $9 for 2,500 emails. Wiza's prices are on this page, checked November 9, 2026. The first 100 checks are free.
- What it is
- Email verification with a real SMTP mailbox check: each address comes back valid, risky or invalid with a reason. Includes an email finder on Pro and up.
- Price per check
- Starter $9/mo for 2,500 ($3.60 per 1,000); Pro $39/mo, 100,000 a month at full speed ($0.39 per 1,000 when used), then slower, never cut off. Business $99/mo with 300,000 at full speed; Agency $249/mo with 750,000 at full speed.
- One-time packs
- 10,000 for $15 ($1.50 per 1,000); 25,000 for $29 ($1.16 per 1,000); 50,000 for $49 ($0.98 per 1,000); 100,000 for $79 ($0.79 per 1,000); 250,000 for $169 ($0.68 per 1,000). Credits never expire, run at standard speed, CSV verification only (no API or finder).
- Free checks
- First 100 email checks free with a Google sign-in, no card, once per account. Single checks on the free email checker need no account.
- Billing
- Monthly subscription, cancel anytime (yearly billing optional). One-time packs are listed above. Starter allowances reset monthly and do not roll over.
- Speed today
- Capacity is shared by every customer: plan on about 13,000 mailbox checks a day in the standard lane (more when the queue is quiet). Bad syntax, dead domains and disposable addresses return at once; a list of 100,000 takes days, not hours, and each job shows its estimated finish time.
- Catch-all handling
- Catch-all (accept-all) addresses stay risky, never valid, and are graded higher, medium or lower likelihood with the reasons. Anything a mail server does not confirm is risky.
- API and MCP
- REST API on Pro, Business and Agency (Pro includes 10,000 calls a month, then $1.50 per 1,000). Remote MCP server with 6 tools for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code. No API on Starter.
- Integrations
- Connects to Instantly, Smartlead, HubSpot and Mailchimp by API key: verifies a campaign or list and tags each contact with its result. CSV in and out for any other tool.
- Phone
- Free phone format checks (country, type range). Live carrier and line-type lookups come with Pro + Phone at $49.99/mo (5,000 a month). It never says a number is in service.
- Privacy and GDPR
- Data processing agreement countersigned on request (/dpa). Results files deleted 7 days after a list is submitted; confirmed results cached by address for 14 days. Lists are not used for marketing, sold or shared. Verification runs on a US server. No GDPR certification is claimed.
- What it does not do
- No sending, warmup or inbox placement tests. No published accuracy benchmark against other verifiers. Catch-all domains, Yahoo and AOL cannot be confirmed, and Outlook.com and Hotmail mailboxes are not probed while Microsoft refuses checks from our server's network: all of these come back risky, never valid.

What it actually costs, by list size
One pass over a list, on Wiza’s cheapest available route versus one month of the smallest SimpleVerifier plan that covers it. Where Wizasells both a subscription and pay-as-you-go, the cheaper of the two is used.
| List size | Wiza | SimpleVerifier | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | Not publishedAllowance not published | $9.00one month of Starter, 2,500 emails a month | Unknown |
| 10,000 | Not publishedAllowance not published | $15.00a one-time pack of 10,000 email checks that never expires | Unknown |

One pass only. Every figure in the Wiza column recurs each time you re-verify. On Pro a re-check costs nothing extra; on Starter it uses that month’s allowance, and unused emails don’t roll over. Adjust for your own pattern in the cost calculator.
Test SimpleVerifier against Wiza on a real address
Type any address. It gets the same check the paid plans run: syntax, the domain’s mail servers and, where the provider allows it, a live mailbox check. Nothing is sent to the address.
Five checks a minute, no account needed. Nothing is sent to the address — we ask its mail server whether the mailbox exists, then disconnect.

Where Wiza’s pricing bites
Wiza charges $83 a month, or $990 for a year, and it is priced per user, so a team pays per seat, and a list you already hold is not what the plan is built to check. 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 don't bill per address is narrow and worth stating plainly: a mailbox check is a DNS lookup plus a short SMTP conversation, so its cost per address is small. What is limited is how fast mail servers accept checks, so Pro runs the first 100,000 a month at full speed and big lists past that in a slower lane, never refused and never billed extra. Lead sourcing, which has a real per-record cost, carries a published fair-use limit of 10,000 a month.
Who should stay with Wiza
Keep Wiza if you build lists from LinkedIn searches. Wiza finds the contact and the page lists email verification with the reveal, so there is no second tool for that job. 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.

- Does SimpleVerifier do real SMTP mailbox checks like Wiza?
