What EasyEmailAPI includes
The free plan includes syntax, MX, disposable-provider, free-provider, and plus-addressing checks. A free check is not equivalent to an SMTP mailbox verification.
- Free SMTP inbox and catch-all checks: not included.
- Pro SMTP inbox and catch-all checks: included.
- Free email-list cleanup tool: not included.
- Pro email-list cleanup tool: included.
API throughput is limited by your plan. SMTP responses can be inconclusive, and results do not guarantee delivery or inbox placement. Check inbox_check_enabled before interpreting inbox fields. Review the API documentation before integrating.
Compare results and data handling before switching
This comparison does not establish equal accuracy, faster responses, or a compliance advantage. Test both services on addresses with known outcomes and examine how each handles unknown or catch-all results.
Read our privacy policy and terms, alongside ZeroBounce's published policies. Review retention, processing location, and contractual requirements for your own use case rather than relying on a blanket GDPR label.
Free plans and paid packages
ZeroBounce is not trial-only: its official pricing page advertises 100 free monthly validations. Its FAQ lists a $39 USD minimum credit purchase for 2,000 validations and a $99 USD/month starting subscription. Facts were verified October 7, 2026.
EasyEmailAPI offers 5,000 free checks per month, but SMTP checks are not part of that free allowance. Pro is $19 USD/month for 100,000 checks. Compare included checks and tools before treating these allowances as equivalent.
Verification and deliverability tools
ZeroBounce's pricing page describes real-time API and bulk validation, plus tools such as inbox-placement tests and blacklist monitoring. It says unknown validation results are not charged. These are concrete reasons to consider its broader package rather than describing it as simply UI-centric.
EasyEmailAPI focuses on validation signals, with SMTP and list cleanup available on Pro. An SMTP inbox check is not an inbox-placement test: acceptance by a mail server does not predict whether your campaign will land in the inbox.
Which service fits your workflow?
Consider EasyEmailAPI if you need recurring validation checks and your own backend integration. Consider ZeroBounce if you also need its deliverability testing or monitoring tools, or value its unknown-result policy. Neither price nor a feature list establishes which will be more accurate on your addresses.
