Questions people ask
Which is cheaper, Bouncer or NeverBounce?
At 1,000 credits both cost $8. At 10,000, NeverBounce is $50 and Bouncer $60. At 1,000,000, Bouncer is $2,000 and NeverBounce $2,500. Bouncer's credits never expire; NeverBounce's pay-as-you-go credits expire after 12 months.
Do Bouncer and NeverBounce charge for unknown results?
Bouncer says it never charges for duplicates in a list or for 'unknown' results. NeverBounce says duplicates and bad-syntax addresses are free; its pages do not say unknowns are free.
Can I verify a list one email at a time through the API?
On NeverBounce, no: looping single checks over an existing list is against its usage guidelines and can lock the account; use bulk jobs. Bouncer recommends batches for lists, because real-time checks on slow mail servers return more unknown results.
Do Bouncer and NeverBounce have MCP servers?
Bouncer has an official remote MCP server at https://api.usebouncer.com/mcp with OAuth sign-in and 9 tools. No NeverBounce MCP server appears in its docs, pricing or integrations pages.
How many free credits do I get?
Bouncer gives 100 free credits on signup and free sandbox addresses for testing. NeverBounce gives 10 free credits with a business email, plus a free list analysis.
