Top-35 Ranked Benchmark Cohort: Rather than diluting industry benchmarks with unranked micro-tools, the MailVeri Pricing Index tracks the 35 highest-ranked email verification platforms globally (selected by Tranco Top 1M traffic rank and verified brand search volume), organized into Tier 1 (12 Enterprise & Cloud ESP Leaders), Tier 2 (15 Established Mid-Market & B2B Suites), and Tier 3 (8 Popular Challengers & Catch-All Specialists).
Q1 2026 Industry Medians ($60 / $400 / $1,500): In January 2026, the Top-35 industry median stands at $60 for 10K, $400 for 100K, and $1,500 for 1M verifications—compared with $9 (10K), $59 (100K), $299 (1M), and $999 (5M) at MailVeri.
Credit Expiration & Unknown Refund Policies: Legacy providers including NeverBounce, Kickbox, Melissa Data, Loqate, and MillionVerifier enforce 12-month credit expiration windows in Q1 2026, whereas MailVeri credits never expire and inconclusive Unknown results are refunded 100% automatically.
