Email verification pricing compared: cost per 1,000.
On list prices checked 3 Nov 2026, entry-level verification runs from about $9.90 per 1,000 (ZeroBounce ONE, 10,000+ a month) to about $39 per 1,000 (Snov.io Starter). Ravn is $24 a month with 10,000 lookups included, then $1 per 1,000, so its cost per 1,000 falls toward $1 the more you use it.

Checked 3 Nov 2026. Per-1,000 figures divide the plan price by the verifications it includes. Hunter is priced in euros. Apollo’s prices could not be read on the day; MoltSets, People Data Labs and Dropcontact do not list a per-verification price on their pricing pages, so they are left out. Prices from each company’s public pricing page, checked 3 November 2026. Check their site for current prices. Ravn prices: pricing.
Cost of a person record at entry
Verification is not the only cost an agent runs up. Here is what a person record costs at entry, and how Ravn’s own-key model compares.
| Service | Plan | Price | About per person record | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| People Data Labs | Pro | From $98/mo for 350 credits | $0.28 | pricing page |
| Ravn | Your own provider key | Pay People Data Labs directly; Ravn adds one lookup | Your PDL rate, e.g. $0.28, + one lookup (misses free) | pricing |
| MoltSets | Solo and up | From $27/mo | Included in a flat plan priced by rate limit | pricing page |
Checked 3 Nov 2026. Ravn stores no people data and resells no one’s records: people and company lookups run on your own provider account, which bills you directly. Prices from each company’s public pricing page, checked 3 November 2026. Check their site for current prices. Ravn prices: pricing.
What the per-1,000 number leaves out
A per-1,000 price is a starting point, not the whole bill. Check four things: whether unused credits expire (Hunter’s reset monthly; Snov.io’s expire after 30 days unless annual; Findymail’s roll over up to 2x), whether misses or unknown results are charged (Hunter, Findymail and Ravn do not charge misses; ZeroBounce does not charge unknowns), whether you need a subscription at all (ZeroBounce sells pay-as-you-go), and what else the plan includes.
Ravn is a flat plan, not a credit pool. The Ravn plan is $24 a month and includes 10,000 lookups, covering verification, the email finder and other live checks. Beyond 10,000 every lookup is $1 per 1,000, so the average falls toward $1: $2.40 per 1,000 at 10,000 a month, $1.14 at 100,000. You set a monthly spending cap. Limits are explained on the fair use page.
What is the cheapest email verification per 1,000 on these entry plans?
Among the per-credit prices we checked, ZeroBounce ONE at about $9.90 per 1,000 is lowest for 10,000 or more a month. Ravn is priced differently: $24 a month includes 10,000 checks (about $2.40 per 1,000) and every check after that is $1 per 1,000, so 100,000 checks in a month is $114, about $1.14 per 1,000, below ZeroBounce ONE.
Is a per-verification price better than a flat plan?
It depends on volume and how steady it is. Pay-per-verification suits small or occasional lists. A flat plan with cheap usage beyond it, like Ravn’s, suits agents that verify every day.
How do I check an email for free before paying anything?
Use the free email verifier, which needs no account. A free Ravn account adds 1,000 lookups total with no card. Several services in the table also have free monthly allowances.
