Catch-all checks draw on their own Catch All Credits, apart from the Standard Credits. ZapBounce publishes one table: $5 for 1,000, $25 for 10,000 and $139 for 100,000. A catch-all row costs one credit, and an unknown costs nothing.

What changes when your list runs through ZapBounce instead.
The short version
- Published prices on one page, from $5 for 1,000 to $949 for a million.
- One kind of credit for every check, so a catch-all row and a valid row draw on the same balance.
- Unknown results and duplicate rows are never charged, and the pricing page says so.
- Credits never expire, and 100 free credits arrive every month with no card.
- Our own SMTP check on port 25, closed before DATA, so no message reaches the addresses you check.
Moving off Listmint
Listmint splits its credits into Standard Credits and Catch All Credits, so you forecast two balances on a monthly subscription. Guess wrong on either one and a list stalls halfway, or credits sit unused. ZapBounce sells one kind of credit for every check, and it waits in your account until the next list arrives.
Moving is an export and an upload. Download your last list from Listmint as a CSV and send it through ZapBounce's bulk upload. Every row comes back with your original columns plus the result, the reason and a billed flag. Catch-all rows come back labeled catch_all from one probe, so you can route them to their own campaign.
The hard addresses, and how they come back
Questions people ask about Listmint
How does Listmint charge for catch-all addresses?
Listmint's homepage describes two credit types, Standard Credits and Catch All Credits, on a monthly subscription (read September 2026). ZapBounce uses one credit type for everything. A catch-all row costs one credit from a single probe, and an unknown costs nothing.
Will the people on my Listmint export get a test email from ZapBounce?
No message reaches them. ZapBounce runs its own SMTP check on port 25 and closes the connection before DATA, so the mailbox answers and nothing is delivered. The same holds for catch-all probes.
Can I try ZapBounce on a Listmint export first?
Yes. Every account gets 100 free credits a month with no card. Upload a sample of your Listmint export and see how many rows come back valid, invalid, catch_all or unknown before you buy anything.
Is ZapBounce cheaper than Listmint?
Ours is $5 for 1,000 and $139 for 100,000, published, with no minimum. Credits never expire, and unknowns and duplicates are never billed, so the rate you see is the rate you pay.
Can I test both before deciding?
Yes, and you should. Run the same sample of a few thousand addresses through each and compare how many came back unresolved. That difference matters more than either accuracy claim.
Add up both Listmint credit balances you used last month, then set that volume beside $25 for 10,000 checks on one credit type.
