What Customers Say

8,626+ reviews collected since 2012. Here are the latest.

Not just for marketing

Used it to clean up our internal contact database after a company merger. Found 40+ addresses that were completely dead or belonged to employees who left years ago. Saved us from bouncing a bunch of onboarding emails to the combined team. Not the typical use case probably but it worked perfectly for it.

Unmatched flexibility for mixed workloads

We use some threads for real-time form validation and others for nightly list cleaning. The flexibility of the unlimited API is unmatched by any competitor.

Good service, had one question

Used it to clean my shopify customer email list before a sale campaign. Worked good. I emailed support to ask about the diffrence between "risky" and "unknown" results and they got back same day which was nice. Only 4 stars because I wish there was a shopify plugin to do it automaticaly.

simple and fast

no frills, just works. exactly what i was looking for

Thread-based model is genius

The thread-based model is genius. We run 20 threads 24/7 and verify our entire 15M contact database every month for a fraction of what we used to pay.

Our go-to for client work

We run an agency and verify every client list before we touch it. Bulk Email Checker is what we use. The pricing makes sense for us because we dont verify every month, just when a new client comes on or before big sends.

Dropped verification costs by 71%

We switched from ZeroBounce to the unlimited API and our verification costs dropped from $8,000/mo to $2,300/mo. Same accuracy, fraction of the cost.

Cheap and reliable

been using this on and off for a couple years. always works, price hasnt gone up, credits are still there when I come back months later. hard to ask for more than that

Disposable detection saved us thousands

The disposable email detection alone saved us thousands in wasted marketing spend. The API catches throwaway addresses that other services miss.

Pretty good, caught most bad emails

Ran our newsletter list through it (about 12k contacts). It flagged around 900 as invalid and another 300 or so as risky. Our bounce rate on the next send dropped from like 8% to under 1% so it definately works. Taking off one star bc the UI is a little plain looking but honestly who cares, it does the job.

Best accuracy, speed, and pricing

We tested 5 different email verification APIs. Bulk Email Checker had the best accuracy, fastest response times, and the pricing is unbeatable.

love it. been using this for about a year now. never had an issue

Only service that caught reserved-TLD addresses

We tested four validators on the same 250k sample. Bulk Email Checker was the only one that correctly flagged the reserved-TLD and disposable addresses the others missed.

Suprised how easy this was

My client gave me a list of 8,000 emails and asked me to clean it before thier mailchimp campaign. I literally just uploaded the csv and downloaded the clean file. Super easy even for someone whos not technical.

Typo correction pays for itself

The typo correction response field alone pays for itself. We auto-suggest the corrected domain in the signup flow and recover around four percent of otherwise-bounced users.

works great

works great. fast and cheap. used it for a 50k list and hit 99.1% deliverability on the next send

Eliminated our manual cleanup pipeline

Our previous provider billed credits for validation, so we built a whole pre-upload cleanup step to keep the bill down. Bulk Verify does that layer for free as part of the run. That manual work just disappeared from our pipeline.

Solid tool

We use this to clean our outreach lists before loading them into Instantly. Cuts our bounce rate way down. Wish there was a direct integration but the csv export works fine for now.

Handles large CSV files without issues

The bulk verify tool handles my large CSV files without any issues. Very impressed with the speed and thoroughness of the checks.

Good but not perfect

Works well for most of my lists. Caught a bunch of bad emails before I sent a campaign. Only reason its not 5 stars is the catch all results - hard to know what to do with those.

API integration took under an hour

Integrated the API into our signup form in less than an hour. It instantly stopped the spam bots and fake signups we were dealing with daily.

Best accuracy after testing 5 vendors

Best accuracy I've found after testing 5 different vendors. The real-time API is blazing fast and the catch-all detection is perfect.

Finally a service that doesnt charge monthly

I was paying NeverBounce $40/mo and barely using it. This is pay as you go and the credits dont expire which is exactly what I needed. Would definately reccomend.

does what it says on the tin. uploaded my list, got results back in like 20 minutes. no complaints

Pros and Cons

Pulled from thousands of reviews. The highlights and the hang-ups.

What customers love
  • Credits never expire. Buy once, use whenever. No monthly subscription pressure or use-it-or-lose-it quotas.
  • Aggressive pricing. 100,000 verifications for $74.95. Most competitors charge $400 to $1,000 for the same volume.
  • 99.7% accuracy. Multi-layer verification: syntax, DNS, MX, SMTP, disposable detection, role-address flagging.
  • Free daily checks. 10 single-email verifications per day. No account, no credit card.
  • Real-time API. Production-grade REST API for on-the-fly verification at signup forms and checkouts.
  • Simple interface. Upload CSV, click verify, download your cleaned list. No learning curve.
  • Unlimited verification API. Flat monthly rate for unlimited real-time verifications. No per-email cost, no throttling, no overages.
  • Direct ESP blacklist integrations. Syncs with MailChimp, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, and Mailjet to auto-capture bounces, unsubscribes, and more. Blacklisted addresses are automatically failed for free during processing.
What customers want improved
  • No native ESP integrations yet. You export a cleaned list and re-import it. 3rd party import/export integrations are on the immediate roadmap.
  • Catch-all detection is conservative. We flag catch-all domains rather than guessing deliverability. If we can't fully confirm a mailbox status, it's marked as unknown. Some users find this overly cautious.Some providers attempt to verify catch-all addresses by sending fabricated emails with randomized content designed to bypass spam filters and land in real inboxes. We consider this an invasive and deceptive practice that delivers unsolicited mail to real people without their knowledge. Bulk Email Checker is built on ethical verification practices and will never adopt this method.
  • Email-only support. No phone or live chat. Response times are typically same-day on business days.
  • Processing speed is slower than some competitors. Every single email is tested live against the actual mailbox via SMTP handshake at the time of verification. We do not maintain a cached database of old results and filter against it. Live verification takes longer, but your results reflect each mailbox's current status with 99.7% accuracy.

If your list is older than 90 days or was sourced from a lead provider, yes. Email addresses decay at roughly 2-3% per month. Sending to invalid addresses raises your bounce rate, damages your sender reputation with inbox providers like Gmail and Outlook, and can land your domain on blocklists.
Failed emails are categorized by reason: invalid mailbox, non-existent domain, disposable address, role-based address, or full inbox. You can download segmented results and decide how to handle each category. Most users remove invalid and disposable addresses and keep everything else.
Each address goes through a multi-step pipeline. First, syntax and formatting are validated. Then DNS and MX records are checked to confirm the domain accepts mail. Next, an SMTP handshake is performed against the actual mail server without sending a message. Finally, the address is cross-referenced against known disposable providers, role-based patterns, and catch-all configurations.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically validation checks whether an address is formatted correctly (syntax, structure), while verification goes further and confirms the mailbox actually exists on the receiving server. Bulk Email Checker does both in a single pass.
Over 12,133,802,156 emails have been processed through our verification engine since 2012. Each address is tested live against the actual mail server via SMTP handshake at the time of verification. We do not rely on a cached database of old results. Our 99.7% accuracy rate is maintained across all major mailbox providers including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and corporate mail servers.
