Email verification for newsletter creators
Newsletter creators verify subscriber exports from Substack, Beehiiv or Kit before importing them to a new platform or sending a big issue, so dead and fake addresses do not drag down open rates or deliverability. Upload the CSV and SimpleVerifier returns valid, risky or invalid with a reason. Starter is $9 a month for 2,500 checks; Pro is $39 a month. First 100 checks free.
Growth tactics such as recommendations, giveaways and lead magnets bring in subscribers who gave a throwaway address, and some platforms bill by list size, so dead subscribers cost money as well as deliverability.
Moving platforms is the moment to clean: a fresh import of an uncleaned list can start a new sender reputation on the wrong foot.
SimpleVerifier facts: prices, packs and limits
- 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.

Test it on a real address first
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.
Have a list? Sign in with Google and the first 100 addresses are checked free, with results to download. No card.

The newsletter list problem
Spam sign-ups arrive through open forms, and a list that has never been pruned holds addresses that stopped working long ago. Hard bounces on your sending platform pile up, and on some platforms you pay for every subscriber on the list.
Because open rates are used as a health signal, a list full of dead addresses also makes your numbers read worse than your real readership.
How SimpleVerifier handles it
Export subscribers as a CSV, upload it, and download the valid rows to import. Disposable addresses carry their own reason, which shows how many sign-ups came from giveaways or bots.
Run the check before a move to a new platform and again before a large send to an old segment.
Every result is valid, risky or invalid with a plain reason beside it, such as "Mailbox exists", "Mailbox not found", "Accepts all addresses", "Disposable address", "No mail server", "Server would not confirm" or "Provider hides mailbox status".
Which plan fits, and what it costs
Starter is $9 a month for 2,500 checks; unused checks don't roll over. Pro is $39 a month with no per-email credits: never cut off: the first 100,000 emails a month run at full speed, then big lists run slower. Newsletter creators usually start on Starter for a single list and move to Pro once lists arrive every month. The first 100 checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card, on the same engine the paid plans use.
A CSV holds up to 100,000 rows. If you work from an AI assistant, the same checks are available over MCP at https://simpleverifier.com/api/mcp, and Pro includes 10,000 calls a month included, then $1.50 per 1,000 for connecting a form or app.
How long it takes
Mailbox checks are paced, because mail servers slow down or block verifiers that probe too fast, and the daily check capacity is shared between customers. Addresses that need no mailbox check, such as broken syntax, dead domains and disposable addresses, come back at once. The rest run in a queue, and the job card shows an estimated finish time. Start the check before the send is due, and you can close the tab: the results wait in your history.
Common questions
- Will removing dead subscribers lower my numbers?
- It lowers the subscriber count and usually makes open rate a truer figure, since dead addresses can never open.
- Do I clean before or after importing?
- Before. Import only the valid rows, and keep the invalid rows as a suppression list.
- How do I try it first?
- The first 100 checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card, on the same engine the paid plans use.
- What does it cost?
- Starter is $9 a month for 2,500 checks, or Pro at $39 a month: never cut off: the first 100,000 emails a month run at full speed, then big lists run slower. Plans are monthly or yearly and cancel from your account.
