FAQ

Free email verifier FAQ

Is this email checker really free?

Yes. The format, MX, disposable, and role checks are completely free with no signup or credit card. Full SMTP mailbox verification and bulk list validation are available on a free account with 100 credits.

Does it confirm the mailbox actually exists?

Not on its own. The free tool stops before the SMTP mailbox probe, so it confirms the domain can receive mail but not that the specific mailbox exists. Signing up unlocks SMTP verification for a definitive answer.

Do you store the email I check?

No. The address is checked in real time and nothing is saved to our database. We do not log or sell the addresses entered into this tool.

Can I check a whole list at once?

This tool checks one address at a time. To validate a CSV of up to 100,000 addresses in parallel, create a free account and use batch validation or the API.
