Short answer: use Clearout to check a list of addresses you already have; use Anymail Finder when you need to find the addresses first. Clearout's free trial is 100 credits with no card required, and its credits never expire. Anymail Finder's trial is 7 days with 100 credits on monthly plans and needs a card; it charges only when it finds a verified email, and checking an address you supply costs 0.2 credit. Terms are from each vendor's pricing page, checked on 28 October 2026.
Two tools for two different jobs
Clearout is a verifier. You upload a list, and it sorts each address into valid, invalid, catch-all or unknown so you can drop the ones that would bounce. Clearout says it also resolves catch-all addresses into valid or invalid, which a plain mailbox check cannot do.
Anymail Finder is a finder that also verifies. You give it a name and a company or domain, and it returns an address only if it can verify it. Its verifier is a secondary feature for lists you already hold.
If your problem is "my campaign bounces", start with Clearout. If your problem is "I have names but no emails", Anymail Finder is the closer fit, and you may not need a separate verifier at all, because what it returns is already checked.
Free trials and pricing
| Clearout | Anymail Finder | |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | 100 credits, no card required | 7 days, 100 credits on monthly plans, card required |
| Ways to pay | One-time credit packs or monthly and annual subscriptions (up to 20% off) | Subscriptions; cheapest $29/mo for 400 credits, or $228/yr for 4,800 |
| What a check costs | Credits per verification; prices shown in the app, not on the public page | 0.2 credit to verify your own address; 1 credit per found verified email |
| Unused credits | Roll over and never expire | Per plan |
For a one-off list clean-up, Clearout's non-expiring credits are the safer buy: you are not paying a subscription for months you do not use.
Integrations: Clearout lists a REST API, webhooks, a Google Sheets add-on, a HubSpot app, a WordPress plugin for form validation and a LinkedIn Chrome extension. Anymail Finder has an API and bulk CSV upload for both finding and verifying.
Where verification stops helping
Verification removes bad addresses; it does not add new ones. If the list started as a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, the gap is usually missing emails, not invalid ones. Scrupp exports the people from the search and looks up verified work emails and phone numbers for each row, at 1 credit per exported lead plus 1 for a found email and 2 for a found phone, with 100 free credits every month.
