Best email verifiers for Zapier and Make
Eight email verifiers ranked for Zapier and Make automations on the per-task and per-operation bill, unknown billing, credit expiry and price.
How this was compared
Disclosure: ZapBounce is our product. Figures were read from each vendor's own pages in September 2026, and the criteria below were applied to every entry, ours included.
The short version
- A route into both tools: a Zapier app or Make app, or an API that Make's HTTP module calls. Listings were read on zapier.com and make.com on 24 September 2026.
- Automation cost: whether a list is checked as one batch with a completion webhook, since Zapier bills per task and Make per operation.
- Billing for unknown and duplicate results, because a Zap that fires twice on the same lead should not pay twice.
- Published price at 10,000 addresses and credit expiry, read from each vendor's own pages in September 2026.
- Disclosure: ZapBounce is our product, and the same criteria were applied to it.

The ranking
Best first, with the situation each one fits.
ZapBounce
Disclosure: ZapBounce is our product. In Zapier you add the ZapBounce verify action after any trigger and filter on the result: valid, invalid, catch_all or unknown, with role and disposable flags. In Make the HTTP module calls POST /v1/verify, or submits a whole array as one batch, and a webhook starts the results scenario when the batch is done.
- Best for:
- Form, CRM and spreadsheet automations that check every new lead before it reaches a sequence. Follow the Zapier setup or the Make setup, and see pricing for the $5 per 1,000 rate.
Bouncer
Bouncer lists apps on both Zapier and Make (read 24 September 2026), and it never charges for duplicates or unknowns.
- Best for:
- Automations that also want its toxicity check on risky domains.
- Less suited to:
- Large lists on a tight budget, where its 100,000 tier costs $400.
Emailable
Emailable lists apps on both Zapier and Make (read 24 September 2026), refunds duplicates and unknowns, and its credits never expire.
- Best for:
- Teams checking more than 5,000 leads per purchase.
- Less suited to:
- A small automation that checks a few leads a day, since purchases start at 5,000 credits.
DeBounce
DeBounce lists apps on both Zapier and Make (read 24 September 2026) and prices checks from $0.00045 each.
- Best for:
- High-volume automations where a low per-check rate compounds.
- Less suited to:
- Catch-all-heavy B2B leads, since catch-all validation costs extra credits per address.
MillionVerifier
MillionVerifier lists a Zapier app (read 24 September 2026), sells credits that never expire and refunds any address it could not verify with certainty.
- Best for:
- Very large pay-as-you-go packs, with 1,000,000 checks at $449 (read 24 September 2026).
- Less suited to:
- Teams who want a monthly plan, since it sells pay-as-you-go only.
ZeroBounce
ZeroBounce lists apps on both Zapier and Make (read 24 September 2026) beside a wider deliverability suite.
- Best for:
- Teams already on a ZeroBounce subscription for inbox placement and blacklist monitoring.
- Less suited to:
- Pay-as-you-go buyers at 10,000 checks, which ZeroBounce sells as a subscription only.
Hunter
Hunter lists apps on both Zapier and Make (read 24 September 2026), with verification at half a credit inside its finder plans.
- Best for:
- Zaps that find an address and verify it in the same run.
- Less suited to:
- Seasonal automations, since credits expire after 12 months (read 24 September 2026).
Kickbox
Kickbox lists apps on both Zapier and Make (read 24 September 2026), refunds unknowns and rates each address with its Sendex score.
- Best for:
- Teams who want a quality score beside each result.
- Less suited to:
- Credits bought ahead of need, since they expire one year from purchase (read 24 September 2026).
Why ZapBounce ranks first
How to choose
- Unknown and duplicate results: ZapBounce never bills either, so a Zap that fires twice on one lead or retries a slow domain costs one credit at most.
- Credits between campaigns: Hunter and Kickbox credits expire after a year (read 24 September 2026). ZapBounce credits never expire.
- Small automations: Emailable purchases start at 5,000 credits and ZeroBounce at $39 for 2,000. ZapBounce starts at $5 for 1,000.
- Whole lists: ZapBounce takes an array as one batch and reports completion by webhook, so Make's iterator never multiplies operations by the length of your list.
Questions people ask
How do I verify emails in Zapier?
Add the ZapBounce verify action after your trigger, map the email field, then add a filter that continues only on valid. Give catch_all results their own path so real leads on accept-all domains are kept for a slower sequence.
How do I verify emails in Make?
Add an HTTP module that calls POST /v1/verify with your API key and the email address, then route on the result. For a list, collect the addresses with an Array Aggregator and submit them as one batch, so each address does not cost a separate operation.
Does a failed or unknown check use a Zapier task and a credit?
Zapier counts a task for every action step that runs, so the verify step uses one task. ZapBounce bills no credit for an unknown result or a duplicate, so the check itself costs nothing when the receiving server gives no clear answer.
Is it cheaper to verify a list inside Zapier or upload it?
Upload it, or submit it as one batch from a single task. Looping a thousand addresses through a Zap costs a thousand tasks plus every step after the check, while a batch call and a webhook cost two.
