A lower-cost Bouncer alternative for API checks.
Both products offer one-time, non-expiring credits and hosted bulk verification. Choose emailverifier.dev for a lower-cost developer API, MCP tools, and downloadable CSV results. Choose Bouncer for its form Shield, batch API, or broader deliverability kit.

Lower unit cost, narrower product
Bouncer publishes an $8 minimum purchase for 1,000 checks and does not charge unknown or duplicate list results. emailverifier.dev sells 20,000 checks for $10, charges every completed authenticated check, and skips duplicate and blank rows in hosted bulk uploads. The price difference is strongest when you need API checks or downloadable list results without Shield, a batch API, or deliverability monitoring.

| Price | $10 for 20,000 checks. Credits do not expire. | Pay-as-you-go starts at $8 for 1,000 verification credits, with volume discounts. |
| Billing | Every authenticated email or domain check uses one project credit, including unknown results. | Purchased verification credits do not expire. Bouncer says duplicates and unknown results are not charged. |
| Product | Focused REST API, MCP server, domain reports, and project-scoped keys and balances. | Single and bulk verification, a form-protection product, integrations, and a deliverability kit. |
| API | POST one email and receive status, action, flagged, and the detected signals. | Its REST API supports real-time verification and asynchronous batch jobs. |
Choose emailverifier.dev when
- Your main need is a low-cost verification endpoint or hosted bulk list check.
- You want 20,000 checks for $10 rather than buying at a 1,000-credit tier.
- You need project-scoped keys, balances, REST access, and MCP tools.
- You prefer a small response designed for direct application decisions.
Choose Bouncer when
- You need an asynchronous batch API for automated list workflows.
- You want Bouncer Shield for form protection without building the integration yourself.
- Inbox placement and domain or IP monitoring belong in the same vendor.
- Not charging unknown results matters more than the lower headline unit cost.
Migration checklist
- 1Replace the Bouncer verification request with POST /api/v1/verify.
- 2Continue sending the API key in a request header, using X-API-Key or Authorization.
- 3Map deliverable and undeliverable directly; route risky and unknown through separate product policies.
- 4Budget one emailverifier.dev credit for every completed authenticated check, including unknown results.
- 5Use the hosted bulk verifier for CSV or TXT uploads; keep Bouncer if you require its batch API.
Test your real integration.
Start with 1,000 credits. Keep Bouncer running until your status mapping and fallback policy behave as expected.
