What a Clean List Actually Buys You
Verification is not the point. Landing in the inbox, keeping the domain you send from, and not paying for contacts who left years ago: that is the point.
Bounces Stay Near Zero
Mailbox providers read a hard bounce as evidence you do not know who is on your list. Removing dead addresses before you send is the single cheapest thing you can do for placement.
Your Sending Domain Keeps Its Reputation
Reputation takes months to build and one bad send to damage. Verifying first keeps the signals providers actually score, bounces and complaints, on your side of the line.
You Stop Paying for People Who Do Not Exist
Sending platforms bill by contact stored or emails sent. Every dead address on your list is a line item you are paying for every single month.
Your Campaign Numbers Mean Something
Open and click rates measured against a list padded with dead addresses understate everything. Clean the list and the numbers finally describe real people.
Fewer Spam Traps and Complaints
Recycled addresses, throwaway inboxes and role accounts are the ones most likely to trap or complain. They are flagged before the send, not discovered after it.
You Can Meet the Bulk-Sender Rules
Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft now expect authentication and list hygiene from anyone sending at volume. The deliverability audit tells you exactly where your domain stands.
Every Verifier Claims Accuracy. Here Is What Is Different.
Six things you can check for yourself on the free tier, before you spend anything.
A Live Conversation, Not a Lookup
Each address is checked against its own mail server at the moment you ask, in about two seconds. Nothing is served from a cached list that was true six months ago.
We Say “Unknown” Instead of Guessing
When a server refuses a straight answer we tell you so, and you are not charged for it. Re-run those rows whenever you like and you pay only for the ones that resolve.
You Pay for What Actually Ran
Credits are held up front and anything unused comes back when the job settles. Buy them outright and they never expire; subscribe instead and the ones you don't use roll into next month.
Verification and Deliverability in One Place
A clean list still bounces if your domain is misconfigured. The same account grades SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR, blocklists, MTA-STS and BIMI, and gives you a bulk-sender verdict.
Built to Be Called from Your Product
API keys, a REST endpoint with structured results and live job progress over SSE. Verify at signup or inside your CRM without anyone opening a dashboard.
Agencies Get Workspaces and Their Own Brand
Run each client in its own workspace with separate credits and history, and put the whole thing behind your own domain and logo.
A live conversation, not a lookup
We open a real SMTP session with the receiving server for every address, every time, and tell you exactly what it said.
- Catch-all and role-address detection
- Disposable-provider filtering
- Multi-IP corroboration on ambiguous replies
Know why you are landing in spam
Eight checks per domain: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR and the bulk-sender rules Gmail and Yahoo now enforce, with the fix spelled out for each failure.
- A–F grade with the score behind it
- Bulk-sender verdict, not just a record dump
- The DNS value to publish, ready to copy
Everything the dashboard does, programmatically
One key, the same credits, and the same engine. Verify inline at signup or clean a list from your own pipeline.
- Single verify, bulk jobs and audits
- Unknown results are never charged

Work Out What Your List Costs
Credits, not seats. Subscribe monthly and they roll over, or buy them outright and keep them. Drag to your list size: the volume rate applies automatically at checkout.

How It WorksThree Steps to a Clean List
Import your list, let us verify every address over a live SMTP conversation, then export a clean file and send with confidence.
Questions Worth Asking a Verifier
Should I Subscribe or Buy Credits?
Subscribe if you verify on a regular rhythm: the plan tops you up every cycle and whatever you do not use rolls into the next one, so a quiet month is not wasted. Buy a pack instead if your work comes in bursts, because those credits are yours outright and never expire. You are on one or the other at a time, and while a subscription is running credit packs are unavailable.
What Happens to My Credits if I Cancel?
The subscription keeps running until the period you have paid for ends, and the credits it granted stay spendable until then. When it ends, the rolled-over plan balance is removed. Credits you bought as a pack are untouched: plan credits are always spent first, so cancelling never takes something you paid for separately.
How Accurate Is a Verification?
Each address is checked against the receiving mail server in real time rather than looked up in a cached list, so the answer reflects the mailbox as it exists right now. Where a server refuses to give a definitive answer, we return unknown instead of guessing a verdict.
Will Verifying Hurt My Sender Reputation?
No. Verification runs from our own sending infrastructure and never delivers a message to the address being checked, so nothing lands in the recipient's inbox and nothing is attributed to your domain.
What Happens to Credits on a Bulk Job?
Credits are held when the job starts and settled when it finishes, so you keep the ones you did not use. Rows that were never attempted, because you cancelled the job or it stopped early, are refunded. So are rows that finished as unknown: you are only charged for addresses that reached a real verdict.
What Does a Catch-All Result Mean in Practice?
The domain accepts mail for every address, so a successful SMTP handshake does not prove the mailbox exists. We label it honestly and attach a risk score rather than reporting it as valid, and you decide whether to keep it.
Can I Verify Inside My Own Product?
Yes. Create an API key in the dashboard and call the REST API at signup, on form submit, or from your CRM. Bulk jobs stream live progress over SSE so you can show a progress bar without polling.
How Is My Uploaded List Handled?
Your list is processed to produce your results and nothing else. We do not sell it, do not use it to send marketing, and do not share it with other customers. It is handled by the service providers who run InboxValid, under contracts that require them to protect it. Jobs and their results are kept so you can reach your history, and can be deleted on request; the privacy policy has the detail.
