Comparison criteria
Both tools were tested on the same email list under the same conditions. Here is how we scored them.
1. Provider coverage
We built our test list to mirror real-world inbox distribution. Share figures come from SellCell's breakdown of the most popular email providers by number of users - Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud, AOL, and others weighted by how many people actually use them.
Every verifier was run against the same 16-address list - one valid and one invalid mailbox per provider. These are free-email inboxes that most verifiers struggle with; they show up constantly in real lead lists and are where false "risky" or "unknown" flags appear.
| Provider | Valid | Invalid |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| iCloud | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| Outlook | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| Proton | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| GMX | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| Yahoo | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| AOL | [email protected] | [email protected] |
| Zoho | [email protected] | [email protected] |
A verifier only gets full marks if it returns a definitive result for every address above - not just the easy corporate domains. Reported coverage is the percentage of our list each tool could actually verify. When a tool skips Yahoo or AOL entirely, we subtract that provider's share from the score (e.g. 100% - 6.4% Yahoo - 0.7% AOL = 92.9%).
2. Price (100K verifications / month)
Taken directly from each vendor's public pricing page at the time of testing. We quote the monthly cost for 100,000 verifications. No annual discounts or negotiated enterprise rates.
3. Speed
Measured end-to-end on our full test list - from upload to downloadable results. The headline number is always total list time.

EmailListVerify performance
emaillistverify.com · $168/mo for 100K
Cannot verify Yahoo or AOL addresses - those rows are skipped entirely, which drops effective coverage to 92.9% on our weighted list.
~1 minute - OK speed, still slow
92.9% provider coverage
Pros
- ✓ Very affordable pricing
- ✓ Fine for simple, corporate-heavy lists
Cons
- ✗ Poor coverage on Yahoo and AOL
- ✗ OK speed at best
Summary: EmailListVerify is cheap, but skipping Yahoo and AOL is a dealbreaker on real lead lists. Wontbounce covers every provider for less than double the price.
