MillionVerifier vs EmailAddress.ai

The High Cost of Cheap Verification.

Executive Verdict

MillionVerifier competes on being the cheapest option. EmailAddress.ai competes on ROI. While MillionVerifier is cheaper per credit, their aggressive caching and lower accuracy on B2B domains often leads to deleting valid leads—costing you far more in lost revenue than you saved on verification.

The False Economy of Cheap Verification

MillionVerifier is known for aggressive pricing. However, industry benchmarks suggest they achieve this by:

  • Heavy Caching: Serving you results from 30-60 days ago instead of checking the server live.
  • Lighter Pings: Using less expensive, less accurate handshake methods.
  • False Positives: Aggressively marking risky emails as "Unknown" or "Invalid" to save server resources.

The ROI Math

If MillionVerifier saves you $20 on a list of 10,000 emails, but incorrectly marks 50 good leads as "Invalid", and your Lead Value is $100... you just lost $5,000 to save $20.

Live vs Cached Data

EmailAddress.ai performs a live SMTP handshake for every single check. We do not serve cached results older than 24 hours. In B2B, people change jobs constantly. A result from 30 days ago is useless. We ensure you are verifying the current status of the inbox.
