Same SMTP check. Same catch-all handling. Credits that never expire. We just charge a fraction of what they do.
Our offering on the right, theirs on the left. The numbers come straight from each pricing page.

BriteVerify does not publish tier pricing publicly. validity.com/products/briteverify/pricing/ shows zero dollar amounts at any volume and routes all prospects to a sales call. The figures above reflect Validity's stated floor rate of $0.01 per verification ("Pricing starts at one penny per verification"). Actual quotes require sales contact and may vary.
We match them on every core verification capability. Where we diverge, we tend to do more for less.

Three real buyer profiles. Twelve months of monthly purchases. The dollars-saved column is the answer.
Same SMTP verification, same deliverability after sending, fraction of the invoice. The math does the convincing.
"I emailed BriteVerify sales three times asking for pricing. Got a canned reply about scheduling a discovery call each time. I run a six-person agency. I don't have 45 minutes for a demo just to find out what a verification costs. Signed up first thing in the morning, had a 40k list cleaned before noon."
"We only run big donor list cleans twice a year, before our winter and summer campaigns. Bought 100k BriteVerify credits in December, used 50k right away. Our second mailing got delayed into January and by then the remaining 50k had expired. One month late and we lost half of what we paid for."
"BriteVerify worked fine when we first signed up. After Validity acquired them the renewal quote came in 20% higher with no explanation. Same product, same API, same everything. We asked for a breakdown and got told it was a market adjustment. Moved to Bulk Email Checker that week and cut the bill in half on top of dodging the hike."

Depends on what you optimize for. If price-per-email matters most, we're typically 93%+ cheaper across every published tier. If credit-expiry has burned you, ours never expire. If you need a flat-rate Unlimited tier, we offer one and BriteVerify doesn't. Try 25 verifications free in our dashboard and decide for yourself.
Per published list pricing, we are. $2.95 for 1,000 verifications scaling to $409.95 for 1M, which is roughly 71-96% below BriteVerify's tiers. The Pricing panel above has the full side-by-side.
No. They remain in your BriteVerify account until used or until the 12 months (credits expire 1 year after purchase) window closes. Nothing migrates automatically.
Lower overhead, lean operations, no acquisition pricing pressure. Our pricing structure has not changed on renewal in over a decade.
Both services perform SMTP-level mailbox verification with handshake-stage RCPT checks, MX validation, catch-all detection, disposable filtering, and role-address flagging.
One base URL change. Endpoint shapes match closely. Our docs include a side-by-side mapping for the common verification calls.
Yes. Most teams above 1M move to our Unlimited flat-rate API, which removes per-email billing in exchange for dedicated cloud capacity at a fixed monthly rate.
Yes. Our team accounts use a shared credit pool, so multiple users on the same account draw from one balance. No per-seat fees, no separate billing.
Simple. We own our own infrastructure and don't pay for advertising. The price reflects that.
Not a dollar on Google Ads. Not a dollar on Facebook. No sales floor, no affiliate kickbacks, no conference booths, no influencer deals. Nothing.
Every other vendor in this category bakes these into their pricing. We don't carry any of them, so neither does the price tag.
We focus on one thing: email verification.
No platform pivots, no second product line, no marketing or sales departments to feed. Our biggest source of new customers is existing customers spreading the word. Over 400,000 customers and growing every single day.
Identical verification. Dramatically smaller invoice.
