A closer look at a few claims

ZeroBounce makes these claims on its website. Here's what we found when we checked them.

What ZeroBounce says

ZeroBounce's spam-trap detection is “99.6% accurate”

Reality check

Nobody can prove that.

Spam traps only work because they're kept secret. There's no public list to test against, so no verifier can measure a detection rate, let alone to a tenth of a percent. The practical way to avoid traps is to keep a clean list and verify it regularly.

What ZeroBounce says

ZeroBounce's Verify+ sends real emails to your contacts

Reality check

We never email your contacts.

ZeroBounce's Verify+ sends real messages when it takes a closer look at Accept-All addresses. We do that work at the mail-server level, without sending anything to the people on your list.

What ZeroBounce says

ZeroBounce's AI scoring is a separate, paid add-on

Reality check

Quality scoring is included.

ZeroBounce charges a second credit to score an Accept-All address after verifying it. That means one address can use two credits. Emailable includes the Quality Score in the credit you already used for verification.

What ZeroBounce says

Emailable credits expire after 1 year

Reality check

Our credits don't expire.

There's no subscription requirement or other catch. Even ZeroBounce's review says, “Credits never expire at Emailable.” Meanwhile, the “Never” in ZeroBounce's column comes with a footnote: ZeroBounce credits stay active only while you have a ZeroBounce ONE™ subscription.

What ZeroBounce says

Emailable has no money-back guarantee

Reality check

We offer a full refund.

Emailable's published guarantee covers every verification. If more than 1% of the addresses we mark Deliverable bounce, we refund those misses. ZeroBounce's own review also acknowledges that both services offer a money-back guarantee.

What ZeroBounce says

10,000 Emailable verifications cost $119.85 a month

Reality check

The real price is about half that.

Right now, 10,000 Emailable credits cost $60 pay as you go or $51 with a subscription. Both are well below ZeroBounce's own $99 monthly price. You can check the table above, which uses published prices from both companies.

What ZeroBounce says

Emailable's accuracy is 99%, 98%, or 99.6%

Reality check

Those aren't our numbers.

ZeroBounce lists Emailable's accuracy as 99%, 98%, and even a “99.6% accuracy guarantee” on different pages. We don't make any of those claims. What we do offer is a clear deliverability guarantee: if more than 1% of the addresses we mark Deliverable bounce, we'll refund those misses.

What ZeroBounce says

Emailable's security is “undefined to the public”

Reality check

Our security details are public.
