Sending to bad addresses wrecks sender reputation and inflates bounce rates. Subscription verifiers (ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, Kickbox) charge monthly minimums for what is, at core, a DNS + SMTP check. Growth and outbound teams need bulk verification they pay for by the result.
What you get
Per email: status (valid/invalid/risky/unknown), reason, MX records, role-account flag, disposable flag, catch-all flag, free-provider flag, and the raw SMTP response code.
