Description

BounceBan is an email verification service that claims to check ordinary addresses and, in particular, catch-all (accept-all) inboxes and addresses protected by secure email gateways such as Mimecast, Proofpoint and Barracuda, plus greylisted mail. Official pages say the check does not send a message to the mailbox. The vendor positions this against tools that simply mark every catch-all as risky. The public site trades as BounceBan. A privacy notice last updated 1 November 2022 lists a Dover, Delaware postal address; the Terms of Use, also last updated that day, are internally inconsistent on governing law (they name both California and Delaware) and set arbitration in Singapore. Do not treat those legal pages as freshly maintained.

Public prices were checked on 15 November 2026 (Europe/London). Single email checks in Free Mode are free and official copy says they stay free forever, and do not use credits. Paid credits are used for Single (Premium), bulk lists and the API, at one credit per successful verification. Pay-as-you-go packs start at $40 for 10,000 credits ($4 per thousand). A monthly subscription is advertised at 15% off, starting at $34 a month for 10,000 credits. Official FAQs say unused credits roll over and do not expire. A separate Sync subscription can verify unique CRM emails each month; the public Sync price field did not display a dollar amount when we checked. For a fuller look, read our BounceBan review 2026.

Who It’s For

  • Outbound sales and lead-generation teams whose lists are heavy with catch-all or Office 365 / Google Workspace domains, and who are tired of every verifier parking those rows in a risky bucket.
  • Email marketing and agency teams that want to clean a list before a campaign, or to check new addresses in real time, without sending a probe email.
  • Developers and ops teams that want an API, plus published connectors for Clay, n8n, Google Sheets, ChatGPT GPTs and a Claude Code plugin.
  • CRM-led teams that want daily verification against a connected list (official help names HubSpot) via the separate Sync subscription.
  • Skip or use with care if you only need a cheap standard syntax-and-MX check, you need a published Sync rate card you can read without the price field loading, or you expected a refundable credit pack — official Terms say all purchases are non-refundable, except where a separate guarantee article describes a conditional refund.

Core Capabilities

  • Catch-all and SEG checks, as a vendor claim. Official pages say BounceBan can identify which catch-all, greylisted or SEG-protected addresses are actually deliverable, rather than flagging all of them as risky. A support article on the vendor’s guarantee says it can reliably verify 85–95% of those addresses at a claimed 97%+ accuracy, with the rest marked risky. Treat those figures as vendor claims, and read the qualifying rules before you rely on the guarantee.
  • Standard list verification as well. Official FAQs say non-catch-all addresses are also checked, and that the vendor uses a wider set of signals than a simple mailbox ping. Official copy says the process does not send email and is described as GDPR and CCPA compliant.
  • Free singles, paid bulk and API. You can verify one address at a time in Free Mode at no credit cost. Bulk uploads and API (and Single in Premium Mode) spend one credit per successful check, according to the official pricing FAQ.
  • Results you can act on. Official product shots and help describe statuses such as deliverable, undeliverable, risky, unknown, catch-all and disposable, plus an estimated overall delivery rate on export.
  • Integrations and Sync. Official footer and help point to an API, Google Sheets, Clay, n8n, HTTP request, ChatGPT GPTs, a Claude Code plugin and an AI skill. Sync is a separate subscription that official help says can verify unique CRM emails daily and then unsubscribe or remove rows, with automatic upgrades and downgrades to the nearest tier.

Key Features

  • Unlimited single verifications in Free Mode, described as free forever on the official homepage and pricing FAQ.
  • Bulk file upload and a real-time single endpoint, with official timing of a few seconds for most addresses and 1 to 6 minutes for a small share, and concurrent processing for large lists.
  • A delivery-rate guarantee article, with conditions (send within 24 hours of verification, at least 1,000 unique addresses from 100 domains, hard bounces only) and a claimed 100% refund on qualifying emails if you contact the vendor within seven days.
  • SSO for enterprise customers, officially including SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace), via a support request.
  • Affiliate programme and a partners page, linked from the official footer.

Plans & Pricing

Prices below were read from the live official pricing page on 15 November 2026 (Europe/London), in US dollars. Official FAQs: one credit per successful Single (Premium), bulk or API verification; Free Mode singles do not use credits; unused credits roll over and do not expire. Official Terms of Use (1 November 2022) say all purchases are non-refundable and that cancelling a subscription takes effect at the end of the current paid term. A separate guarantee article describes a conditional refund; those two public statements sit side by side, so read both.

Official help: charged on unique emails verified each month; the plan auto-upgrades or downgrades to the nearest tier (for example 50,000 moving to 60,000 or 40,000). Mid-cycle additions can trigger a prorated card charge.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • A clear niche: catch-all and SEG-protected addresses, which many verifiers still dump into a risky bucket.
  • A genuine free tier for single checks, with no official expiry, so you can try the result on your own domains before buying credits.
  • Public credit prices, a 15% monthly discount, and an official claim that unused credits roll over and do not expire.
  • API plus published connectors for Clay, n8n, Google Sheets and coding assistants.
  • A written guarantee article with pass marks, list-size rules and a stated remedy, rather than a vague accuracy headline alone.

Cons

  • Accuracy, “only solution” and competitor-beating figures are vendor claims, not independent tests.
  • Official Terms say all purchases are non-refundable, which sits awkwardly beside the guarantee article’s conditional refund.
  • Terms and privacy notices were last updated 1 November 2022, and the Terms name both California and Delaware as governing law.
  • Sync is a separate subscription, and the public confirm-price field did not show a dollar figure when we checked.
  • The guarantee is tightly qualified (24-hour send window, 1,000 addresses, 100 domains, hard bounces only, seven-day claim window).

Where It Fits

BounceBan sits with email marketing tools as a list-cleaning and deliverability check, especially for catch-all and gateway-protected addresses, rather than as a campaign sender. For broader or longer-established verification directories already on Digital Marketing Supermarket, see Million Verifier, ZeroBounce, NeverBounce and Kickbox. For cold-email outreach platforms that you might use after a list is clean, see Instantly and Lemlist. For finding addresses rather than verifying them, see Hunter. Comparing options?

FAQs

Does BounceBan send an email to verify an address?

Official FAQs say no. The vendor describes the process as non-intrusive and says it does not send messages.

How much does BounceBan cost?

Single checks in Free Mode are $0. Paid credit packs start at $40 for 10,000 credits, or $34 a month on the 15% off subscription for the same volume. Larger packs are listed on the official pricing page. Sync is priced separately.

Do unused credits expire?

Official pricing FAQs say unused credits roll over to the next period and will not expire. Sync follows a different rule: the subscription moves to the nearest tier as unique verified volume changes.

Is the 99% delivery figure guaranteed?

It is a vendor guarantee, not an independent audit, and it is qualified. Official help claims 99%+ accuracy on deliverable addresses scored 99–100, and 97%+ on other deliverable marks, only if you send within 24 hours, meet the list-size rules, count hard bounces only, and claim within seven days.

Is there a free trial?

The official header includes a Free Trial button that leads to sign-up, and the Terms mention the end of a free trial, but no public trial length was stated on the pages we checked. The clearly documented free offer is unlimited single verifications in Free Mode.
