We're using a proprietary multi-layered algorithm that combines a series of criteria, checks, and heuristics to assess each email address.
It includes:
Format and domain-level validations
SMTP-level interaction with fallback logic
Detection of disposable domains, catch-all behavior, and risky patterns
A scoring model that returns both a risk label (valid, risky, invalid) and a confidence score (0.0 to 1.0)
And much more — especially for nuanced edge cases and deliverability signals
Unlike many validators that return a binary result, MailShrimp gives you both a label and a score, so you can decide what’s safe to keep based on your own thresholds.
We're also focused on speed and usability.
Our logic is designed to handle edge cases often missed by more generic tools.
Yes, we’ve tried Emailable — solid tool, but quite expensive in the long run.
MailShrimp is built to be much more lightweight, transparent, and affordable (starts at $14.90/month for 10,000 validations) — and you can try it for free.
Would love to hear your thoughts if you give it a spin.
Maybe they changed their pricing but my team paid $25 for 25,000 validations as a one time thing. We’re not in need of 10,000 a month so I wouldn’t be able to try it out soon. But yeah I guess I’m just still not sure how it’s that different from Emailable. Not that there’s any issue with competition of course!
Neat. What are you using on the backend to verify? How is it different from other platforms such as Emailable?
Thanks!

Still early stage — feedback is very welcome!
Sounds really useful. Still, I believe Emailable does that, including the scores. Have you tried it?
