Why people look elsewhere
A price you can see before a sales call. Validity sells BriteVerify through its sales team, so a per-address rate arrives as a quote. Teams that only need a list cleaned want a ladder they can read today, and ZapBounce's runs $25 for 10,000 and $139 for 100,000.
No public figure. Validity's BriteVerify pages carry Get started and Contact Sales buttons, and pricing comes through its sales team (read 24 September 2026). ZapBounce's pricing page lists every pack from $5 for 1,000 to $949 for a million, and a monthly plan costs 15% less than the same credits pay-as-you-go.
What ZapBounce changes for a BriteVerify user
The differences that show up on the first invoice and the first results file.
The short version
- Published prices, from $5 for 1,000 up to $949 for a million, on one page, with no sales call.
- Verification priced as the check it is, per address, rather than as a component of a platform contract.
- Coverage reported on every list: what share reached a verdict, rather than a record-quality score.
- Unknowns and duplicates never billed, and credits that never expire, both printed on our pricing page.
- 100 free credits every month with no card, so a sample can be tested before anyone signs anything.
Before you move off BriteVerify
Run the same sample through two vendors and the interesting number is not how many came back valid.
Get a per-address figure from Validity
Ask for a rate per thousand addresses at the volume you clean. Set it beside ZapBounce's printed ladder, because that's the only like-for-like comparison available.
Map risky onto two results
Decide how each segment treats catch_all and unknown before you upload. An unknown is never billed, so a retry later costs nothing.
Find out who signed the contract
If revenue operations or IT signed the Validity contract rather than the team that cleans lists, the swap becomes a renewal conversation. Find the owner and book that talk early.
Ask where the data is processed
Validity's privacy policy allows any country. ZapBounce hosts in the United States and lets you delete a job at any time.
What switching actually involves
BriteVerify returns valid, invalid and risky. ZapBounce splits risky into two results you can act on: catch_all for a domain that accepts every address, and unknown for a server that wouldn't answer, which is never billed. Map your risky rules to both before the first upload. If the Validity contract covers other products too, move the verification on its own.
What stays true whichever verifier replaces BriteVerify
Questions about moving off BriteVerify
How much does BriteVerify cost?
Validity doesn't publish a BriteVerify price, and its product pages route you to the sales team (read 24 September 2026). ZapBounce costs $5 for 1,000, $139 for 100,000 and $949 for a million, printed on its pricing page.
What does BriteVerify's risky result become on ZapBounce?
One of two results. catch_all means the domain accepts every address, and it costs one credit. unknown means the server wouldn't give a final answer, and it costs nothing.
Can we try ZapBounce before talking to anyone?
Yes. A new account gets 100 free credits with no card, and 100 more every month. Sign up, upload a sample and read the results the same day.
Why do people leave BriteVerify?
A price you can see before a sales call. Validity sells BriteVerify through its sales team, so a per-address rate arrives as a quote. Teams that only need a list cleaned want a ladder they can read today, and ZapBounce's runs $25 for 10,000 and $139 for 100,000.
How hard is it to switch verifiers?
For bulk cleaning, no harder than uploading the file somewhere else. For real-time checks on a signup form it is an API swap, which is an afternoon.
Ask Validity for a per-thousand rate, then set it beside ZapBounce's ladder. That comparison takes one email and one page.
