A 97% claim, read closely
EmailListVerify claims 97% accuracy. It's a lower headline than the 99% figures elsewhere in this market, and it measures the same thing: how often the verdicts it gave back were right. Rows with no verdict, like greylisted or throttled addresses, sit outside the sum.
Hunter's benchmark counted those rows. It ran 3,000 real business addresses through 15 verifiers and found overall accuracy from 31.2% to 70.0% (3 November 2025). That gap is about the denominator, not about anyone lying. Our note on why verifiers disagree shows the arithmetic.
ZapBounce reports coverage, the share of your list with a definite verdict, next to the accuracy of those verdicts. You get both numbers on every file.
Price as the list grows
EmailListVerify's ladder starts low at $5 for 1,000 and is printed in plain figures, which makes a budget easy. It reaches $27 at 10,000 and $186 at 100,000. Our EmailListVerify pricing page works through cost per usable verdict at each tier.
ZapBounce meets it at $5 for 1,000, then charges $25 for 10,000 and $139 for 100,000. Past that, our ladder runs to $549 for 500,000 and $949 for a million, all on the pricing page.
Unknowns and the invoice
We found no stated policy on whether EmailListVerify bills unknown results. That matters most on lists with many Yahoo, AOL or Microsoft 365 addresses. Yahoo and AOL accept every probe by design, and Microsoft rate-limits hard, so any verifier returns more unknowns on them.
ZapBounce never bills an unknown row. Each one comes back with a reason such as greylisted, throttled or probe_blocked, so you know why the server held back. Duplicates in your file cost nothing either.
Free tools and AI agents
EmailListVerify runs free tool pages in several languages, and its site lists an MCP server so an AI agent can call the verifier. Both widen who finds and uses the product.
ZapBounce publishes zapbounce-mcp, a thin server over /v1/verify and /v1/files, so Claude or another agent can check an address or send a file. The setup is on our MCP library page. Our free email verifier tool checks one address at a time, free.
Testing EmailListVerify on your own list
Pick 1,000 addresses you've already mailed, where you know which ones bounced. Run them through EmailListVerify and through ZapBounce's 100 free monthly checks plus a $5 pack. Score each tool against your real bounces, then count the rows each left without a verdict and what those rows cost.
