Replaced Apollo overnight. Reply rate went from 2% to 14% in week one. Wish I found this sooner.
Natasha B.Founder, B2B SaaS · Verified on Trustpilot★★★★★
I sent 300 emails on day one. By week 2 I had a closed deal. The verification alone is worth it.
Carlos V.Sales Lead, Series B · Verified on Trustpilot★★★★★
47 demos booked in 30 days. The unlimited sending is a game changer, I used to pay $300/mo for half this.

How it works
List in, clean list out, three steps
1. Upload or import
Paste addresses, upload a CSV, or verify lists you scraped or pulled from the 177M+ database inside Getlead.
2. SMTP checks run
Every address gets a live handshake with its mail server: syntax, MX, mailbox existence and catch-all detection.
3. Export the clean list
Download or send directly from Getlead with invalids removed and catch-alls segmented.
Results
Every address gets one of four verdicts
Valid
Mailbox confirmed by the server. Safe to send.
Invalid
Mailbox does not exist. Remove before sending.
Catch-all
Domain accepts everything. Cap at 20% of a campaign.
Unknown
Server did not answer. Re-verify later.
vs cleaning services
Email list cleaning services charge per list. Forever.
Same SMTP checks, different business model. Credit pricing punishes you for re-verifying, which is exactly what good hygiene requires.
Typical cleaning service (per 10K list)$50 - $100 per run
Credit-based verifier (per 10K)$30 - $80 per run
Re-verifying monthly, one year (10K)$360 - $1,200
Getlead (unlimited runs)From $19.90/mo
Public list-cleaning and credit prices, July 2026. Addresses decay a few percent monthly; re-verification is not optional.
Why SMTP beats every other check
Syntax filters and MX lookups only prove an address could exist. A live SMTP handshake asks the recipient's mail server whether the exact mailbox is real, without sending anything. In Getlead data across 383,000+ checks, verified lists bounce at 0.51% versus the 3% threshold that damages sender reputation. Full method in the email validity guide.

Lead scraper
Pull fresh leads from Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram and 7+ more sources, pre-verified on export.
Upload your list (CSV or paste) to a bulk verifier that runs SMTP checks. Each address gets a live mailbox check and comes back labeled valid, invalid, catch-all or unknown. Remove invalids, cap catch-alls, then send.
Is there a free bulk email verifier?
Most tools charge per 1,000 checks. Getlead includes unlimited bulk SMTP verification in paid plans from $19.90 a month. Single addresses are free to check, 10 per day, no signup, at the free email verifier.
How is this different from an email list cleaning service?
Cleaning services run the same checks as a managed one-off job at $5+ per thousand with turnaround time. Here you get the same result instantly, repeatably, with no per-list cost.
How accurate is bulk SMTP verification?
It is the most accurate method available: the actual mail server confirms each mailbox. Verified lists bounce at 0.51% in our data. Catch-all domains are flagged separately since no tool can confirm those.
