What it does
Bouncer checks email addresses through list uploads and APIs, separating delivery status from details such as role accounts or disposable domains. New accounts receive 100 starter credits without a payment card. You can then buy verification credits as needed or subscribe for a monthly allowance.
Read a Bouncer result as structured data rather than a single score. The documented response separates status and reason from flags such as accept-all domain, disposable provider or role account. Its example can mark an address deliverable while also identifying it as role-based. Keeping these fields helps a team distinguish a shared department address from an invalid mailbox.
Real-time, batch and hybrid batch-synchronous endpoints provide different integration patterns. Choose one around whether a person is waiting at a form or a background list job is running. Verification credits bought on demand do not expire, and unknown outcomes and duplicate addresses within a list are not charged. Creating an account provides 100 starter credits without a credit card; paid purchases have a 1,000-credit minimum. A monthly verification subscription is also available for predictable usage. Deliverability Kit and Bouncer Shield are priced separately, so buying verification credits does not include their subscriptions.
