Bonus on every plan

Extra credits on top of what you buy — Emailable gives none.

Credits never expire

Emailable credits expire after 12 months.

Auto-refund on “Unknown”

You only pay for results you can act on.

Emailable is a fast, developer-friendly verifier with a polished API and a wide set of native connectors. As of 2026 the friction is value and fairness: it claims ~99% accuracy, its pay-as-you-go rate runs higher than Valid Email Checker at most volumes, it adds no bonus credits, and users report being charged for inconclusive “Unknown” results. Valid Email Checker delivers higher accuracy, refunds “Unknown” verdicts, and adds bonus credits — for less.

Why teams leave Emailable

The same frustrations come up again and again from users who switch.

You can be charged for “Unknown” results

Users report Emailable bills inconclusive verdicts. Valid Email Checker auto-refunds “Unknown” results, so you only pay for verdicts you can act on.

Pricier per email at most volumes

Emailable pay-as-you-go starts around $0.006/email — verifying 10,000 emails costs about $60. Valid Email Checker does the same volume for less.

Credits expire after 12 months

Bulk-buy for the discount and you’re racing a clock — unused Emailable credits are forfeited after a year. Our pay-as-you-go credits never expire.

No bonus credits

Emailable gives exactly what you pay for. Every Valid Email Checker plan adds bonus credits on top. (Emailable’s API and connector breadth are genuinely strong, though — credit where due.)
