| Pricing | Cost-effective usage-based plans | One-time credits that don’t expire, or a daily-credit plan. 10K $11.90, 100K $116.40, 1M $972. |

| Callbacks / webhooks | No (synchronous API) | No |
| Catch-all handling | Probes a random address on the same domain. Catch-all domains come back risky / accept_all, never valid. | Detected in power mode only; quick mode skips the mailbox check. |
| Result statuses | valid, invalid, risky, unknown, each with a reason code and a 0–100 score | safe, invalid, disabled, disposable, inbox_full, catch_all, role_account, spamtrap, unknown |
| Integrations | REST API with an OpenAPI spec and step-by-step guides for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zapier, Mailchimp, signup flows, Node.js and Python | WordPress plugin |
| Developer experience | OpenAPI 3 spec, interactive API explorer, copy-paste examples | Basic API docs; no SDK or OpenAPI spec. |
| Accuracy claim | Definitive answers only; catch-all and unresponsive servers are reported as risky or unknown, never guessed. | Over 99% accuracy (vendor claim). |
| Beyond verification | Typo suggestions (gmial.com → gmail.com). Disposable-domain detection (about 9,900 domains, synced weekly). Role and randomized-address detection. Company profile and domain intelligence on the same API key. | Individual marketers and small teams. |
