BriteVerify (a Validity product) does not publish self-serve pricing - as of 7 August 2026 its site routes to a sales-contact form, so the rate you pay is whatever your quote says. BounceZero verifies an address for a published $0.003 - with a 5-stage pipeline, 65+ signals, and credits that never expire. No subscriptions, no quote call, no surprises.
Backed by & listed on
BriteVerify (now owned by Validity) was one of the earliest email verification tools. But the market has moved on.
BriteVerify's standard pricing is $0.01 per email verification - $10 per 1,000. For a list of 100,000 emails that's $1,000. BounceZero verifies the same 100,000 emails for $300, with a deeper pipeline and more signals.
BriteVerify performs a real-time single SMTP check. This misses catch-all domains, provider-specific nuances, and social signals that indicate whether an address is genuinely active. BounceZero's 5-stage pipeline catches what single checks miss.
BriteVerify is now a product within Validity's broader email marketing platform. If you only need email verification - not Everest deliverability monitoring or DemandTools - you're paying for a suite you don't use. BounceZero is 100% focused on verification.
