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.
"Email Hippo gives you a monthly quota that resets on the first. We had a light month in August, used maybe a third of our allocation. September 1st, all of it gone. You can't save up for busy months. You can't roll anything over. It is like a gym membership where your unused visits just disappear."
"We were on Email Hippo for about a year. The verification quality was decent but the monthly quota model killed us. Some months we needed 80k checks, other months 15k. You are locked into a tier and if you go under, tough luck. Switched to a credit model where we just buy what we need and use it whenever."
"We had two Email Hippo subscriptions running. One for batch list cleaning, one for their real-time API. Combined bill was over $900 a month and neither subscription matched our actual usage. Consolidated everything to one Bulk Email Checker account with batch and API access, and the total dropped to less than what the batch plan alone cost us."

Depends on what you optimize for. If price-per-email matters most, we're typically 84%+ 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 Email Hippo 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 70-78% below Email Hippo's tiers. The Pricing panel above has the full side-by-side.
No. They remain in your Email Hippo account until used or until the Quota resets every 30 days, no rollover 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.
