Emailable can offer a lower cost as it does not identify nearly as many email types as ZeroBounce email validationⓘ.
Valid emails
Invalid emails
Risky emails
Unknown results
Their risky category entails disposable emails, accept-all (catch-all) emails, and role-based emails. Emailable defines “risky emails” as having low quality or low deliverability.
ZeroBounce identifies valid and invalid emails, along with more than 30 statuses and sub-statuses that give you a detailed look at the quality of your email list.
For example, abuse emails are valid and deliverable but belong to known complainers that can negatively impact your sender reputation. Likewise, emailing a spam trap hurts email deliverabilityⓘ and will likely land you on an email blacklist.
Emailable does not identify abuse emails or spam traps. Instead, these addresses may be returned as unknown, making it harder to distinguish them from other emails that may still be safe to use.
Does your email database contain Yahoo or AOL emails? Those accounts may be disabled.
Verify+ from ZeroBounceⓘ is a free addition to email validationⓘ and the only tool that can detect disabled email accounts. By using the free Verify+ service, you can eliminate the fear of bouncing emails to Yahoo and AOL email leads.
When you opt into Verify+, ZeroBounce will check for bounces by sending a message to the address. There’s no risk to your company or domain, and ZeroBounce handles the entire sending and verification process.
Emailable and ZeroBounce also have several email verification features in common.
Beyond these shared features, ZeroBounce provides additional insights and tools to help you better understand the quality of your email data.
Emailable detects catch-all (accept-all) domains and categorizes those email addresses as Risky. However, it does not validate the individual catch-all mailbox to determine whether the address is valid or invalid.
Emailable also assigns emails a quality score from 0 to 100. This score can provide an additional signal about an address, but it does not confirm whether a catch-all email is valid.
ZeroBounce goes beyond identifying catch-all domains. During standard email validationⓘ, ZeroBounce can validate many catch-all email addresses and return a Valid or Invalid result, including addresses on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other major email platforms.
When a catch-all address can’t be resolved during standard validation, ZeroBounce can take the verification further with Verify+. For eligible lists, Verify+ performs an additional validation step to determine whether more of those addresses are valid or invalid.
Email Scoringⓘ is also available when you want another signal about an address. ZeroBounce assigns a score from 0 to 10 based on email activity and other data, helping you evaluate contacts that may require additional consideration.
Together, these tools give you more actionable information about catch-all emailsⓘ instead of treating every address on a catch-all domain as equally risky.

Emailable and ZeroBounce offer 24/7 customer support.
We’ve secretly tested the ZeroBounce support team and observed an immediate response time. It assures customers that their needs will be met no matter where they are. ZeroBounce support extends 24/7 to weekends and holidays globally.
But, credit where credit is due, we messaged Emailable’s live chat and were connected with an agent immediately. No schedule indicates whether or not their support extends to weekends or holidays worldwide.
Email validationⓘ is only one part of improving deliverability. Your sending infrastructure, authentication, sender reputation, and email content can also affect whether your messages reach the inbox.
Both Emailable and ZeroBounce offer deliverability tools, including inbox placement and email server testing. ZeroBounce ONE™ brings email validationⓘ and deliverability tools into one subscription, with monthly validation credits, Inbox Placement Testing, Email Server Testing, Blacklist Monitoring, DMARC Monitorⓘ, Email Warmupⓘ, and more.
With Emailable, email verification and deliverability tools require separate subscriptions.
ZeroBounce and Emailable both back their email verification services with guarantees.
Emailable offers a deliverability guarantee for the addresses it identifies as Deliverable. If more than 1% of those addresses bounce, Emailable provides refunds for the affected verifications, subject to the terms of its guarantee.
ZeroBounce guarantees up to 99.6% accuracy for email validationⓘ results, with guaranteed accuracy rates varying by email provider and validation method.
The ZB Guarantee covers multiple validation results, including Valid, Invalid, Spamtrap, and Abuse, giving you greater assurance about the email types and risks identified in your list. If your results fall below the applicable guaranteed accuracy rate, ZeroBounce provides refunds according to the terms of the ZB Guarantee.
Check the current ZB Guarantee for accuracy rates, eligibility requirements, and refund terms.
Finally, ZeroBounce outperforms Emailable by taking your email marketing further with Email Finderⓘ.
Email finderⓘ products exist to help you figure out the correct email address for a contact. You might have met someone at a conference and left with just a name and company but no direct point of contact. Email Finderⓘ uses those data points to find that person's email address.
However, ZeroBounce’s Email Finderⓘ goes the distance by using its email verification services to ensure the emails you find are valid. You can then safely add these to your marketing lists and take advantage of new leads.
Emailable does not offer any similar product. You’ll need to find and pay for an additional service to help you expand your email list safely.
ZeroBounce doesn’t stop at email list cleaning. ZeroBounce ONE™ allows you to score emails by activity, improve your database with social and domain information, and test your performance before clicking send. Monitor your reputation 24/7 and look for brand-new email contacts to boost your campaign performance.
