"MailValid cut our email bounce rate by 90%. We switched from ZeroBounce and saved over $300 a month. The API is dead simple to integrate and the accuracy is spot on."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do credits expire?
No, credits never expire. Use them whenever you need.
What counts as a verification?
A fresh completed result uses 1 credit. Invalid addresses are billable because they are completed checks that help you avoid bounces. Duplicate emails in the same bulk upload, recently verified repeats, and inconclusive checks are free.
What's included in verification?
Syntax check, domain/MX verification, SMTP mailbox verification, disposable detection, role-based detection, and catch-all detection.
Is there an API rate limit?
Yes — limits scale with your plan: Free 10, Starter 50, Growth 100, and Business 200 requests per minute. Bulk jobs allow up to 100 / 2,000 / 5,000 / 10,000 emails per job (Free / Starter / Growth / Business). Contact us for higher limits.
