Verification Accuracy

Emailable provides reliable email verification using standard SMTP-based methods. Accuracy is comparable to other mid-tier verifiers. Their platform includes typo detection (suggesting corrections for misspelled domains), which is a nice usability feature. Catch-all handling is the typical binary flag. VeriMails matches Emailable's core accuracy and adds catch-all probability scoring. We don't currently offer typo suggestion, but our pattern scoring addresses the more impactful problem of catch-all domain classification.

Catch-all Domain Handling

Emailable flags catch-all domains without scoring individual addresses. Like most competitors, they recommend users decide at the domain level whether to include or exclude catch-all results. VeriMails provides per-address probability scoring on catch-all domains, giving you granular control instead of an all-or-nothing choice.

API and Developer Experience

Emailable provides a REST API with SDKs in Ruby, Python, PHP, Node.js, Java, Go, and Elixir — one of the broadest SDK selections in the market. Their API documentation is thorough, and they offer webhooks for async batch processing. VeriMails' API is straightforward REST with clean JSON responses including catch-all probability data. While our SDK offering is smaller, direct API integration is simple in any language.

Pricing and Value

Emailable charges approximately $0.005 per email. At scale, packages like 50,000 verifications for $245 bring the per-email cost down slightly. VeriMails uses a simple credit-based model with no subscriptions or monthly fees. Buy credits as needed, starting at $19 for 10,000 verifications ($0.0019/email). Credits never expire. At 100,000 verifications, VeriMails costs $99 — significantly less than most competitors. All plans include catch-all scoring, the API, and bulk verification at no extra cost. 100 free credits on signup, no credit card required.

Developers who need SDKs in less common languages (Go, Elixir, Ruby). Teams that value the typo detection feature for reducing list errors. Organizations that need Emailable's specific CRM/ESP integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Core verification accuracy is comparable between both services. The main difference is that VeriMails includes catch-all probability scoring, which gives you actionable data on addresses that both Emailable and most other verifiers mark as unknown.
No. Emailable requires payment from the first verification. VeriMails offers 100 free credits on signup, no credit card required. Credits never expire, making it easy to test and evaluate.
Yes. Emailable rebranded from TheChecker. The service is the same. If you have existing TheChecker integrations, they continue to work under the Emailable brand.
If you specifically need a native SDK in Go, Elixir, or Ruby, Emailable's broader SDK coverage is an advantage. For most other languages (Python, Node.js, PHP), both services have good support. If SDKs aren't a priority, VeriMails offers better pricing and catch-all scoring.
