DeBounce pricing, explained

DeBounce is known as a price leader, and its headline rate is low. What you actually pay depends on two things the headline leaves out: how many rows on your list sit on catch-all domains, and whether you buy the separate catch-all check for them.

The headline rate sits at the top of the ladder

DeBounce's lowest figure, $0.00045 a check, is the rate at its biggest volume tier. Smaller purchases cost more per check, and the calculator shows each step as you slide it. So if you clean a few thousand addresses at a time, work the calculator at your real size before you quote the headline to anyone.

Credits never expire at DeBounce, which is the norm in this market. There's no subscription, so every purchase is a one-off pack. ZapBounce prints its whole ladder on one pricing page: $5 for 1,000, $89 for 50,000 and $949 for a million, with no calculator to work.

Catch-all rows cost ten credits each

Your standard DeBounce check returns accept-all for a domain that answers yes to every recipient. To go further, you buy catch-all validation, and each address uses 10 credits. On a B2B file that matters, because a large share of company domains accept every recipient by design.

Count your accept-all rows before you budget. A file where a quarter of the rows are catch-all uses credits far faster than its row count suggests. ZapBounce labels those rows catch_all after one probe to a random address, bills one credit, and prints their share of the file as coverage. Our answer on whether catch-all emails can be verified explains the protocol behind it.

What the 97.5% guarantee covers

DeBounce guarantees a 97.5% deliverability rate: 95% on Microsoft domains and 98% elsewhere. If you fall short, it pays three times the credits for every 1% missed, and it refunds in full above 8% bounces. You qualify by sending at least 1,000 opt-in addresses within 48 hours, per its guarantee page read on 24 September 2026.

A guarantee paid in credits keeps you buying from the same vendor. It also covers the addresses marked safe, not the rows that came back without a verdict. ZapBounce shows that second number on every file: how much of your list reached a definite result.

Unknowns, duplicates and the real per-row cost

DeBounce's pricing page states no policy on billing unknown results. Ask before a large run, because on a list heavy with Yahoo or Microsoft-hosted addresses that row can move your cost more than the tier does. Our list of which verifiers charge for unknowns sets out each vendor's published rule.

ZapBounce never bills an unknown or a duplicate, and says so on the pricing page. You'll also get 100 free credits every month with no card, enough to test a sample before you pay.

What DeBounce gets right and wrong on price

Both columns are required here. A page that only fills one is an advertisement wearing a review's clothes.

Where DeBounce is genuinely good

  • A low headline rate of $0.00045 a check at the top of the ladder.
  • Credits never expire, and 100 free credits come with no card.
  • A published deliverability guarantee with stated terms: 95% on Microsoft, 98% elsewhere.
  • Wide integration coverage, including HubSpot, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Google Sheets and Zapier.

Where DeBounce falls short

  • Tier prices sit in a calculator rather than a printed table.
  • Catch-all validation costs 10 credits an address, so accept-all rows cost ten times a standard check.
  • No published policy on billing unknown results.
  • Guarantee payouts come as credits, which keeps the money with DeBounce.
