ZapBounce vs MillionVerifier
MillionVerifier refunds in full any address it could not verify with certainty, and says nobody else offers that. The claim is nearly right and the distinction matters: several vendors, ourselves included, simply never charge for those addresses. A refund and a non-charge end at the same number and they are not the same promise.

How MillionVerifier prices it
Pay-as-you-go with credits that never expire, and a ladder we could only partly read: $89 for fifty thousand, $449 for a million. The tiers between sit behind a control that did not open for us, and we are not going to interpolate from the stated per-credit rate because the ladder is clearly tiered and the arithmetic would be wrong at both ends.
Where MillionVerifier is the better choice
Stated plainly, because a comparison page that never concedes anything is not worth reading.
- Their risky-email refund puts the cost of uncertainty on the vendor. A full refund on anything they could not verify with certainty is a checkable commitment rather than a marketing line, and they claim to be alone in offering it.
- $449 for a million verifications is aggressive volume pricing that very little in this category undercuts.
- Credits never expire on a true pay-as-you-go model, with 100 free credits and no card at the door.
- They cite independent tests ranking them first, which is third-party validation no newcomer can match on day one.
Where we differ
What ZapBounce does differently
- We never bill for unknown results. They bill and then refund, which is the same money and different bookkeeping.
- We report coverage next to accuracy as a pair, once measured, rather than a 99%+ headline.
- Our full ladder is published on one page. Theirs requires opening a control on the homepage.

Moving off MillionVerifier
Rarely price, on the tiers we could read. $449 for a million verifications is near the bottom of this market, and the risky-email refund removes the complaint people usually bring to a verifier. What sends people looking is the refund mechanic itself, once someone notices they are lending the vendor money on every unresolvable address until the credit comes back.
Standard bulk upload in and out. The thing to carry forward is the refund expectation, because most of this category bills unresolved addresses and says nothing about it. Ask a replacement whether they charge at all rather than whether they refund.
What MillionVerifier cannot do either
Questions people ask about MillionVerifier
Why are some MillionVerifier tiers missing here?
Their /pricing path returns a 404 and the real pricing sits on the homepage. Two packages were readable there, fifty thousand at $89 and a million at $449. The rest sit behind a control that did not open for us, and interpolating from a per-credit rate attached to one package would produce a wrong number at both ends.
Is a refund as good as never being charged?
In money, yes. In incentive, not quite. A refund still means the vendor decides which addresses qualify and when the credit lands, and you carry the cost meanwhile. Never billing removes the decision entirely. Both are far better than the market default.
How do the two ladders compare at volume?
At a million addresses they publish $449 and we publish $949. That row goes to them and we are not going to bury it. At fifty thousand they publish $89 and we publish $89, which is an exact tie.
Is ZapBounce cheaper than MillionVerifier?
At 100,000 addresses we list $139 and they list Not shown; 50,000 is $89 and 1,000,000 is $449. Compare the per-address rate rather than the headline, and check what each side does with unknowns.
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.
At a million addresses they are $449 and we are $949. If volume is your criterion, that row settles it and we would rather print it than hide it.
