Emailable (formerly TheChecker) offers solid verification with a decent API and integrations. Pricing is mid-range at around $0.005/email, with no free tier and standard catch-all handling. VeriMails delivers comparable results at 42% less cost with catch-all probability scoring and a permanent free tier.

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.
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.
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.
Emailable charges approximately $0.005 per email. At scale, packages like 50,000 verifications for $245 bring the per-email cost down slightly. There's no free tier — you pay from the first verification. At 10,000 emails, Emailable costs approximately $50. At 100,000 emails, roughly $490. VeriMails Pro is $29 for 10,000 emails and approximately $290 for 100,000 — a 42% savings with catch-all scoring included. Plus 50 free verifications daily, permanently.
| Volume | VeriMails | Emailable |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 emails | $29 | ~$50 |
| 100,000 emails | ~$290 | ~$490 |
Teams wanting better pricing (42% less than Emailable). Anyone needing catch-all probability scoring. Users who want a free tier for testing. Teams focused on B2B verification where catch-all domains are common.
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.
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 50 free verifications per day permanently, no credit card required. This makes testing and small-volume ongoing verification cost-free.
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.
