The verifier that actually sends the email and waits three days for the bounce

Scrubby is an email verification service built for the risky bucket, offering two modes on one credit balance: Quick Verification at one credit per address, which resolves standard, catch-all, and Secure Email Gateway protected domains in minutes, and Deep Verification at three credits, which sends a real message to every address and watches how receiving servers respond over a full 72 hours to catch the delayed bounces other tools never see. Plans start at $47 a month for 6,000 credits with 200 free credits on signup, and the company operates from Tallinn, Estonia as part of the Vendisys sales-technology group.

Overview

Scrubby comes out of an outbound agency rather than a lab. In 2020 its founding team was running large-scale campaigns for European sales teams and kept finding that up to 40 percent of purchased lead lists came back unknown or risky from every verifier on the market. The choice on offer was to delete leads that might be real or to mail them and pay for it in sender reputation. Neither was acceptable, so they built an internal tool to resolve catch-all domains at the inbox level, and that tool became the product.

What makes Scrubby genuinely different is not the marketing claim, which every catch-all specialist makes, but the method. Quick Verification does the familiar thing faster and further, confirming deliverability on standard, accept-all, and gateway-protected domains in minutes for one credit. Deep Verification does something almost nobody else will: it sends an actual email to the address and observes server behaviour over 72 hours, surfacing the delayed bounces that arrive long after a normal SMTP handshake has returned a clean answer. First results land in 24 hours and final results at 72. That is a fundamentally different evidence standard from inference.

It is also a fundamentally different risk profile, and buyers should understand what they are agreeing to. BounceBan makes a point of never sending a message, arguing that probe sends are a GDPR problem and an intrusion on the recipient. Scrubby's deep mode does exactly the thing BounceBan refuses to do, from its own infrastructure rather than yours. In exchange you get the closest thing to proof that an address accepts mail, without burning your own sending domain to get it. Whether that trade is acceptable depends on your jurisdiction, your list provenance, and your appetite for having mail sent on your behalf to people who did not ask for it.

Commercially, Scrubby is at the expensive end and does not pretend otherwise. Monthly plans run $47 for 6,000 credits, $97 for 15,000, and $497 for 100,000, which is roughly $0.005 to $0.008 per quick credit, or three times that per deep verification. That is five to ten times what MyEmailVerifier or Truelist charge for a standard check. The company positions the premium as the price of a recovered lead rather than the price of a check, which is the right frame if and only if your list actually has a large risky segment worth recovering.

Best for

Cold outbound agencies and B2B sales teams whose lists are heavy with catch-all and gateway-protected domains, where a recovered contact is worth many multiples of a verification credit and where being wrong about deliverability costs a sending domain rather than an open rate.

Not the right fit for

Anyone uncomfortable with a vendor sending real email to their prospects; Deep Verification does exactly that, and if your legal or brand position rules that out, this product is not usable at all.
Consumer newsletter operators on Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook.com lists, who will pay five to ten times the going rate for checks that a $99 bulk verifier resolves identically.
Teams that need an answer today; Deep Verification takes 24 hours for a first read and 72 for a final one, which does not fit a same-day campaign launch.
Buyers optimising on price per address, since even Quick Verification at roughly $0.005 to $0.008 is at the top of the market alongside Kickbox and well above Truelist, EmailListVerify, and MyEmailVerifier.
Organisations that require a named audited certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 in the vendor file; Scrubby publishes GDPR compliance, encryption, and auto-deletion policies but no third-party audit report.

How it works

1
You sign up and receive 200 free credits with no credit card, then upload a CSV, call the API, or connect a CRM. The same credit balance covers verification and the person and company enrichment products.
2
Quick Verification runs one credit per address and completes in minutes. It handles the ordinary layers plus resolution on catch-all domains and mail fronted by Secure Email Gateways, which are the two cases that defeat a naive SMTP probe and are disproportionately common in mid-market B2B targets.
3
For addresses where you need certainty rather than a strong inference, Deep Verification costs three credits and takes a different route entirely: Scrubby sends a real message from its own infrastructure and monitors the receiving server's behaviour across a 72-hour window. Because many mail systems accept first and bounce later, this catches deferred and delayed rejections that a synchronous check reports as clean. First results appear at 24 hours and the final verdict at 72.
4
Results come back as valid or invalid rather than as an unknown bucket, which is the entire selling proposition, and can be exported, pushed through the API, or applied via the CRM cleaning product. Monthly plan credits roll over while the subscription is active, and pay-as-you-go credits do not expire at all.

Feature breakdown

28 features in 5 modules

The two verification modes

One credit for speed, three credits for evidence.

Quick Verification: One credit per address, results in minutes. Confirms deliverability on standard domains as well as on catch-all and Secure Email Gateway protected domains, which is where most verifiers surrender and return unknown.
Deep Verification: Three credits per address. Scrubby sends a real message from its own infrastructure and observes how the receiving server responds over a full 72 hours, capturing delayed and deferred bounces that synchronous checks report as clean.
Staged deep results: First results appear at 24 hours and final verdicts at 72, so a large deep job produces usable output before it finishes rather than sitting opaque for three days.
Secure Email Gateway coverage: Explicit handling of mail fronted by security gateways, which is the class of domain that most reliably defeats an ordinary SMTP conversation and is common in finance, healthcare, and mid-market enterprise targets.
No unknown bucket: The stated design goal, echoed in customer quotes on the vendor site, is that addresses come back valid or invalid rather than as a risky pile you have to make a policy decision about.
Your sending domain is never used: Deep Verification sends from Scrubby's own infrastructure, so the reputation cost of probing hard addresses lands on the vendor rather than on your warmed domains.

Standard verification layers

The ordinary hygiene checks, bundled rather than sold separately.

Syntax and domain validation: Format checking plus domain and mail-exchanger resolution, filtering malformed addresses and parked or expired domains before any expensive work.
Catch-all and accept-all identification: Detects domains that accept mail for any address, which is the routing decision that determines whether the quick or deep path is worth running.
Disposable and temporary address detection: Filters throwaway providers, which matter more than usual on lists assembled from lead-generation sources of mixed provenance.
Role account detection: Flags shared mailboxes such as info@, sales@, and support@, which are deliverable but rarely worth an outbound sequence.
Spam trap and risky address filtering: Identifies addresses that exist to catch senders with poor hygiene, which is the failure mode that ends sending programmes rather than merely denting them.
Smart data cleaning: Deduplication and normalisation included on every plan rather than metered, so you do not spend credits verifying the same address twice.

Products around the verifier

Scrubby is sold as a data layer, not only a list cleaner.

CRM cleaning: Applies verification to the contacts already sitting in a CRM rather than only to files you upload, which is where most decayed data actually lives.
Bulk list scrubbing: CSV upload for large files with the same credit model and result vocabulary as the API.
Person and company enrichment: The same credit balance covers person and company data enrichment, so a list can be verified and enriched from one meter rather than two vendor relationships.
Blacklist monitor: A published tool for watching whether your sending infrastructure has landed on a blocklist, which is adjacent to verification rather than part of it.
Email testing tools: Free-standing testing utilities published alongside the paid product, useful for spot checks without spending credits.
API access on every plan: Not gated behind a higher tier, so the $47 Starter plan can be automated exactly like the $497 Pro plan.

Commercial terms

Expensive per credit, with rollover and a satisfaction window to soften it.

200 free credits on signup: No credit card required, and usable across verification and enrichment, which is enough to test the deep path on a meaningful sample of known addresses.
Credit rollover on monthly plans: Unused credits accumulate and remain available while the subscription is active, so a quiet month is not money burned.
Non-expiring pay-as-you-go credits: The pay-as-you-go path has no expiry at all, which suits agencies with lumpy, project-driven volume.
Fourteen-day satisfaction guarantee: Monthly plans carry a satisfaction guarantee within the first fourteen days, with resolution handled through support rather than as an automatic refund.
Published enterprise volume ladder: Rates of $0.008 per credit up to 500,000 a month, $0.006 from 500,000 to a million, $0.005 from one to five million, and $0.004 above five million, quoted as estimates confirmed on a call.
Deliverability claim: The vendor states a 98 percent deliverability rate on addresses it returns as valid, presented as a data-backed commitment rather than as a contractual remedy.

Data handling and company posture

GDPR-forward on paper, with a method that raises its own questions.

GDPR compliance and auto-deletion: The vendor states full GDPR compliance, encryption in transit and at rest, no sale or sharing of contact lists, and auto-deletion policies so nothing lingers after processing.
EU-registered entity: Scrubby App OU is registered in Tallinn, Estonia, which gives EU buyers a counterparty inside the bloc rather than a US processor.
Distributed operations: Leadership and operations in Estonia, engineering in India, and sales and partnerships in the United States, with a stated team of more than 25 people.
Part of the Vendisys group: Scrubby sits inside a wider sales-technology portfolio, which means it is not a lone-founder project, and also that its roadmap serves an outbound agency worldview.

Use cases

4 documented

Outbound agency told 40 percent of a purchased list is unknown

A client will not accept deleting 40,000 rows of a 100,000-row list, and mailing them blind would end the sending domains the agency has spent months warming.

Quick Verification resolves most of the accept-all and gateway-protected segment in minutes, Deep Verification settles the residue with real evidence over 72 hours, and the campaign launches against a list with a known bounce profile instead of a guess.

RevOps lead with a five-year-old CRM

Contact records accumulated across two funding rounds now bounce badly enough to be a deliverability problem, and nobody knows which fields to trust.

The CRM cleaning product verifies the base in place and the shared credit balance also enriches person and company records, so a single project both removes dead contacts and refreshes the survivors.

Sales team targeting gateway-protected industries

Prospects sit behind Mimecast, Proofpoint, and similar gateways, and every conventional verifier returns risky for almost the whole target account list.

Quick Verification explicitly handles gateway-protected domains, turning an entire industry vertical from unmailable into a segment with a real deliverability estimate.

Deliverability consultant validating a client's assumptions

A client insists their list is clean because their verifier says so, yet they are seeing delayed bounces two days after each send.

Deep Verification's 72-hour observation window catches exactly those deferred rejections, producing evidence that the incumbent verifier is reporting clean on addresses that bounce a day later.

Pricing

from $47 per month for 6,000 credits, with 200 free credits on signup

Monthly credit subscriptions with rollover, a pay-as-you-go alternative with non-expiring credits, and a published enterprise volume ladder above 100,000 a month. Quick Verification costs one credit, Deep Verification three, and the same balance covers enrichment.

Plan	Price	Includes
Starter	$47 per month, 6,000 credits	About $0.0078 per credit Quick Verification at 1 credit per email Deep Verification at 3 credits per email Smart data cleaning, credit rollover, API access 200 free credits to start 6,000 credits is 6,000 quick checks or 2,000 deep ones, which is the arithmetic to do before choosing a tier.
Growth	$97 per month, 15,000 credits	About $0.0065 per credit Same feature set as Starter with more volume Credit rollover while the subscription is active API access included The vendor's most-popular tier and the natural landing spot for a single outbound team.
Pro	$497 per month, 100,000 credits	About $0.005 per credit For high-volume teams and agencies Credit rollover and API access The last self-serve tier before enterprise quoting
Enterprise	$0.008 to $0.004 per credit, by monthly volume	Up to 500,000 a month at $0.008 per credit 500,000 to 1,000,000 at $0.006 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 at $0.005 Above 5,000,000 at $0.004 SLA, named account manager, white labelling, custom integrations The vendor labels these estimates and confirms final pricing on a demo call, so treat the ladder as indicative.

Billing notes

At the three reference volumes, 10,000 quick verifications land on the $97 Growth plan (which includes 15,000 credits), 100,000 land on the $497 Pro plan at about $0.005 each, and 1,000,000 falls into the enterprise ladder at roughly $0.006 per credit, or about $6,000 a month.
Every one of those figures triples if you use Deep Verification, because it costs three credits. A million deep verifications is a genuinely large number and should be treated as an enterprise negotiation, not a self-serve purchase.
Against the category, Quick Verification at $0.005 to $0.008 sits alongside Kickbox at the top of the market and roughly five to eight times MyEmailVerifier or Truelist. Scrubby's argument is that the correct comparison is against a recovered contact, not against a competitor's credit.
Monthly plan credits roll over while the subscription is active, and pay-as-you-go credits do not expire, so unused balance is not stranded in either model.
There is no published policy of refunding a credit for an unresolved result, which is a notable gap given that Kickbox, MillionVerifier, Reoon, Bouncer, and Emailable all commit to some version of not charging for unknowns. Scrubby's answer is that it does not return unknowns.
Monthly plans carry a fourteen-day satisfaction guarantee resolved through support; pay-as-you-go purchases are not refundable, though the credits persist until used.

Value assessment: Scrubby is the most expensive per-credit option profiled here once you use the mode you are actually paying for, and that is only defensible on a list where the risky segment is large and valuable. The arithmetic that matters is simple: if 30,000 addresses on a 100,000-row B2B list come back unknown from a conventional verifier, the question is what those 30,000 contacts are worth against a few hundred dollars of price difference. For an outbound agency selling five-figure contracts, it is not close. For a newsletter with a 2 percent accept-all share, paying $497 where MyEmailVerifier charges $99 buys nothing. The second consideration is not financial. Deep Verification sends real mail to real people to establish the answer, which is a method BounceBan explicitly refuses on GDPR grounds. If you can live with that, Scrubby offers the strongest evidence standard in the category. If you cannot, the price is irrelevant.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths

Deep Verification is the only widely available method in this category that establishes deliverability by actually sending and watching for delayed bounces over 72 hours, rather than by inference.
Quick Verification already covers catch-all and Secure Email Gateway protected domains in minutes at one credit, so the expensive mode is reserved for genuinely hard cases.
Probing happens from Scrubby's infrastructure, so the reputation cost of testing hard addresses never touches your warmed sending domains.
Credits roll over on monthly plans and never expire on pay-as-you-go, and the same balance covers person and company enrichment as well as verification.
An EU-registered entity in Tallinn with stated GDPR compliance, encryption at rest and in transit, no list sharing, and auto-deletion policies after processing.
Real company substance: founded 2020, more than 25 staff across Estonia, India, and the United States, a named founder and CEO, and membership of the Vendisys group, which is far more disclosure than several catch-all specialists offer.
200 free credits with no card, enough to test the deep path against a control set of known-good and known-dead addresses before spending anything.

Limitations

Deep Verification sends real email to the addresses being checked, which is the exact practice BounceBan positions as a GDPR problem. Anyone with a strict legal or brand position on unsolicited contact should treat this as disqualifying rather than as a tradeoff.
Latency: 24 hours for first deep results and 72 for final ones does not fit a same-day campaign, so deep checks must be planned into a schedule rather than run on demand.
The most expensive credit in this profile set once the three-credit deep mode is in play, at an effective $0.015 to $0.024 per deep verification.
No SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other third-party audit is published; the compliance story is a set of vendor statements.
No published policy on charging for unresolved results, which sits awkwardly beside competitors that explicitly refund unknowns.
Published tier pricing stops at 100,000 credits a month and the enterprise ladder is labelled as an estimate confirmed on a call, so the largest volumes are not truly self-serve.
The vendor site carries a large logo wall of well-known technology companies without published case studies attached to most of them, which should be read as brand association rather than as verified customer disclosure.

Head-to-head comparisons

5 alternatives

Scrubby vs Truelist

from $0 for 100 validations, then $1.40 per 1,000 credits pay-as-you-go, or $799 per month unlimited

The clearest head-to-head in the category. Both target the risky bucket, but Truelist infers from SMTP, browser, and third-party signals in minutes at roughly $0.0009 per standard credit and three credits for its enhanced pass, while Scrubby will send real mail and wait 72 hours for the truth. Truelist is roughly a seventh of the price and returns answers immediately; Scrubby offers a stronger evidence standard on the hardest addresses. Most teams should try Truelist first and reserve Scrubby's deep mode for the residue that still matters.

Full Scrubby vs Truelist comparison

Scrubby vs mailfloss

from $29 per month for 10,000 credits, with a seven-day free trial

Not really competitors so much as opposite ends of the same problem. Mailfloss runs quietly inside an ESP fixing typos and removing decayed subscribers from $29 a month, aimed at newsletters and ecommerce lists. Scrubby is an outbound instrument for B2B lists of uncertain provenance at ten times the price per address. A company running both a marketing list and a cold outbound motion could reasonably buy each for its own job.

Full Scrubby vs mailfloss comparison

Scrubby vs Kickbox

from $5 for 500 verifications, with 100 free credits on signup

Kickbox and Scrubby cost roughly the same per credit and do precisely opposite things with a catch-all address. Kickbox detects it, refunds your credit, and declines to guess. Scrubby resolves it, charges you, and will send a real message to prove the point. Kickbox has the corporate parent, the SOC 2 posture, and thirty ESP connectors; Scrubby has the answer you were paying for. Choose by whether your value sits in the clean majority or the risky remainder.

Full Scrubby vs Kickbox comparison

Scrubby vs BounceBan

from $34 for 10,000 credits on subscription ($40 pay-as-you-go), with unlimited free single verifications

The most instructive comparison. Both specialise in catch-all resolution and both cover Secure Email Gateways, but BounceBan's central claim is that it never sends a message and treats probe sends as a GDPR breach, while Scrubby's flagship mode is exactly a probe send observed over 72 hours. BounceBan is cheaper per credit and offers unlimited free single checks; Scrubby is a disclosed company with named leadership and an EU entity. Your position on probe sending should decide this one before price does.

Full Scrubby vs BounceBan comparison

Scrubby vs Bouncer

from $8 for 1,000 credits, with 100 free credits on signup

Bouncer is the conservative European option: EU data residency, a bias against false negatives, unknowns capped at around 2 percent, and a refund on any deliverable that bounces within 72 hours. Scrubby pushes into the ambiguity Bouncer avoids and uses a method Bouncer would not. If a wrongly kept address is your expensive mistake, take Bouncer. If a wrongly discarded one is, take Scrubby.

Full Scrubby vs Bouncer comparison

Implementation & onboarding

Setup time: Minutes for a bulk upload or API key, and the 200 free credits mean a first real test costs nothing. The only planning required is scheduling: a deep verification job needs 72 hours in the calendar before the send date.
Learning curve: Low on mechanics and moderate on policy. The credit model is simple, but deciding which addresses deserve a three-credit deep check and which are fine on a one-credit quick check is a judgement that determines your bill, and it takes a couple of lists to calibrate.
Onboarding: Self-serve through the $497 Pro tier, with a demo and sales conversation required above 100,000 credits a month. Onboarding support and 24/7 support are claimed on the vendor site.
Migration notes: Verification is stateless so there is nothing to port. The important preparation is legal rather than technical: confirm internally that a vendor sending real mail to your prospects is acceptable under your privacy posture, because that is what Deep Verification does and it cannot be turned into inference. On the data side, run a control set of addresses you already know the answer to through both quick and deep modes, and compare the results with your incumbent's unknown bucket before moving volume.

Platform, API & security

Platforms: Web applicationREST APICSV bulk uploadCRM cleaning integrationFree-standing testing tools
API: REST API included on every plan, covering quick and deep verification as well as person and company enrichment. Quick Verification returns in minutes; Deep Verification is inherently asynchronous, with first results at 24 hours and final verdicts at 72. Scrubby does not publish per-second rate limits or a latency SLA outside of enterprise contracts.
Compliance: GDPR compliance (vendor stated)Encryption in transit and at restAuto-deletion after processingNo third-party audit report published
Data residency: The operating entity, Scrubby App OU, is registered in Tallinn, Estonia; no customer-selectable residency setting is advertised.
SSO: Not advertised; enterprise contracts cover custom requirements.
Security notes: The vendor states that contact lists are never shared or sold, that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and that auto-deletion policies remove data after processing. The security question specific to Scrubby is not storage but transmission: Deep Verification sends real email to the addresses under test, from Scrubby's infrastructure, which is a processing activity worth naming explicitly in your own privacy documentation.

Support & resources

Channels: Email supportContact formDemo and sales callsPersonalised onboarding (vendor claim)
Documentation: Public API documentation, a how-it-works explainer, an FAQ covering credits and verification modes, and a set of comparison pages against major competitors.

Frequently asked questions

10 questions

What is Scrubby?

Scrubby is an email verification service built specifically for the addresses other verifiers give up on. It offers Quick Verification at one credit, which resolves standard, catch-all, and Secure Email Gateway protected domains in minutes, and Deep Verification at three credits, which sends a real message to the address and observes server behaviour over 72 hours to catch delayed bounces. It operates from Tallinn, Estonia as part of the Vendisys group.

How much does Scrubby cost?

Monthly plans are $47 for 6,000 credits, $97 for 15,000, and $497 for 100,000, working out to roughly $0.0078, $0.0065, and $0.005 per credit. Above 100,000 a month the published enterprise ladder runs $0.008 up to 500,000, $0.006 to a million, $0.005 to five million, and $0.004 above that, confirmed on a call. Every figure triples for Deep Verification, which costs three credits per address. New accounts get 200 free credits.

How does Scrubby handle catch-all and accept-all addresses?

This is what the product is for. Quick Verification already confirms deliverability on catch-all and gateway-protected domains at one credit, which is more than most verifiers attempt. Where that is not enough, Deep Verification sends a real email and watches how the receiving system responds over 72 hours, producing a valid or invalid verdict rather than a risky label. Catch-all resolution through the quick path costs no extra credits; the deep path costs three.

Does Scrubby really send emails to verify addresses?

Yes, on the Deep Verification path. Scrubby sends a real message from its own infrastructure and monitors the receiving server across a 72-hour window, which is how it catches deferred and delayed bounces that a synchronous SMTP check reports as clean. Quick Verification does not work this way. This is the opposite of BounceBan's approach, which refuses to send probes on GDPR grounds, and it is the single most important thing to decide your position on before buying.

Do Scrubby credits expire?

No. On monthly plans, unused credits roll over and accumulate while the subscription is active. On pay-as-you-go, credits are purchased in advance and remain in the account until used, with no expiry. That is friendlier than Kickbox, whose credits lapse after twelve months, and comparable with Truelist, EmailListVerify, and MyEmailVerifier.

Does Scrubby charge for unknown results?

Scrubby does not publish a credit-refund policy for unresolved results, and its position is that the product is designed not to return unknowns in the first place. That is a weaker commercial protection than Kickbox, MillionVerifier, Reoon, Bouncer, and Emailable, all of which explicitly avoid charging for non-answers. Monthly plans do carry a fourteen-day satisfaction guarantee handled through support.

What bounce-rate guarantee does Scrubby offer?

The vendor states a 98 percent deliverability rate on addresses it returns as valid, describing it as a commitment backed by real data rather than a marketing claim. It is not published as a contractual remedy with credits or refunds attached, so treat it as a target rather than as a service level. The concrete protection on monthly plans is the fourteen-day satisfaction window.

How long does verification take?

Quick Verification returns in minutes, including on catch-all and gateway-protected domains. Deep Verification is deliberately slow: first results arrive at 24 hours and final verdicts at 72, because the entire point is to observe how receiving systems behave over time rather than at the moment of the handshake. Plan deep jobs into your campaign schedule; they cannot be run the morning of a send.

Is Scrubby GDPR compliant and where is my data held?

Scrubby states full GDPR compliance, encryption in transit and at rest, no sale or sharing of contact lists, and auto-deletion policies so nothing lingers after processing, and the operating entity Scrubby App OU is registered in Tallinn, Estonia. There is no published SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit. The compliance question specific to Scrubby is not storage but the deep verification method itself, which involves sending mail to data subjects, and that should be documented in your own processing records.

Who should not use Scrubby?

Anyone who cannot accept a vendor sending real email to their prospects. Also consumer newsletter operators on Gmail and Yahoo lists, who will pay five to ten times the market rate for checks a budget verifier resolves identically, teams that need results the same day, and buyers who require a third-party security audit in the vendor file.

Editorial verdict

Scrubby has the most defensible answer in the category to the hardest question in the category, and it charges accordingly. Quick Verification already resolves catch-all and gateway-protected domains that most competitors surrender on, and Deep Verification goes further than anyone by actually sending, waiting, and reading the delayed bounces that make lists look clean right up until they are not. The company is real and disclosed in a way several catch-all specialists are not: a named founder, an EU entity, more than 25 staff, and a group parent. The two reasons to walk away are both firm. The price per resolved address is the highest here once the three-credit deep mode is in use, and the deep method involves a vendor sending unsolicited mail to your prospects, which is precisely the practice a serious competitor refuses on privacy grounds. Decide that question first. If the answer is yes, buy the 200 free credits' worth of evidence before anything else, and reserve deep checks for the addresses whose answer is actually worth $0.015.
