ZeroBounce vs MillionVerifier
For bulk cleaning MillionVerifier is far cheaper on published prices: 50,000 credits cost $89 against $499 at ZeroBounce, and a million cost $449 against $3,199. ZeroBounce's premium buys a broader deliverability suite, not cheaper verification. If you only need large lists checked, MillionVerifier is the better value.

How each one bills you
ZeroBounce charges $99 a month for its entry allowance, or pay as you go from $19.50 per 1,000 on a 2,000 pack, falling to $3.00 at 2,000,000, metered as limited credits. MillionVerifier charges $1.78 per 1,000 on a 50,000 pack, falling to $0.45 at 1,000,000, pay as you go with no subscription, metered as pay as you go, credits never expire.
ZeroBounce's allowance is tied to the subscription period. MillionVerifier 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 ZeroBounce: credits are the unit, so the bill scales with list size and a re-verification of the same list costs full price again. With MillionVerifier: every pass is a fresh purchase, so a list you re-check monthly is bought again each time.
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.

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, ZeroBounce and MillionVerifier included.
