Marketers & Growth Teams

Bulk Email List Cleaning & Deliverability

Real-Time Signup & Form Verification

Block automated bot signups, 10-minute temporary addresses, and throwaway burners directly in your registration flow. Prevent trial credit exhaustion, fake account generation, and spam without adding annoying CAPTCHAs for real users.

Sales Ops & CRM Teams

Lead Hygiene & Corporate Domain Scoring

Automatically identify corporate domains versus free webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) or burner emails. Spot salt tricks like plus-addressing ([email protected]) to accurately deduplicate leads and route qualified buyers to sales reps.

Two ways to use EmailScore

Check single emails and bulk lists directly in your web browser, or integrate our 0.3ms REST API into your production code.

Conversion-First Decision Engine

Score, Don't Blindly Block

Legacy tools give a blunt binary pass/fail that locks out legitimate buyers whenever an SMTP probe times out. EmailScore produces a calibrated 0–100 confidence score with a soft CHALLENGE tier.

AllowScore 70 – 100

Instant Safe Delivery & Onboarding

Recognized human names, legitimate corporate domains, and verified webmail mailboxes with healthy DNS. Pass them through instantly without friction or delay.

Action: Complete signup or send campaign
ChallengeScore 40 – 69

Soft Verification (Zero Lost Users)

Ambiguous patterns, subtle subaddressing, or domain typos. Require an email confirmation link or OTP rather than dropping paying customers on the floor.

Action: Trigger email OTP or confirmation
DenyScore 0 – 39

Automated Bot & Burner Drop

Score 0 (Critical Risk): Dead domains (NXDOMAIN), non-deliverable mailboxes (no MX, RFC 7505 Null MX, bogon MX), disposable mail, and RFC syntax errors.
Score 1–39 (High Risk): Machine-generated bot usernames, keyboard walks (QWERTY), and synthetic corporate identities.

Action: Reject registration or purge from list (0% deliverability)
Engineered Intelligence

Why Static 50,000-Domain Blocklists Fail

Bad actors don't just use 10minutemail anymore. They write automated bots on legitimate webmail providers and register fresh zero-day domains daily.

BOTS

Webmail Bot Scripts (`*@gmail.com`)

Attackers generate random accounts on Gmail ([email protected]). Legacy tools see gmail.com and whitelist it immediately. EmailScore analyzes character distribution patterns and unnatural sequences to catch 99.11% of automated webmail bots.

0-DAY

Zero-Day Burner Domains ($0.99)

Fresh domains (svc-drop-812.xyz) registered hours ago are missing from static blocklists. Our domain intelligence tracks registration age in real time and flags synthetic disposable patterns to catch zero-day throwaway domains.

Legacy: AllowedEmailScore: Caught
SALT

Multi-Accounting & Trial Churn

Bad actors abuse plus-addressing ([email protected]) and Gmail dot-stuffing ([email protected]) to repeatedly exhaust free tiers and API quotas. EmailScore strips salts and fingerprints identities.

Engineered for Speed

Verify in 0.3ms. Not 3 Seconds.

Slow email validation freezes your registration button and slows down bulk CSV jobs. Legacy APIs send synchronous SMTP handshakes (RCPT TO) taking 1.5 to 4 seconds, frequently triggering mail server throttling.

EmailScore evaluates address syntax, disposable burners, and bot patterns in 300 microseconds with zero blocking mail server delays.

Strict Privacy Guarantee

100% Stateless. We Never Store Emails. Ever.

Many email verification vendors store customer lookups or build shadow identity graphs. EmailScore scores the email and immediately purges the data. Zero customer data stored, zero tracking, zero security liability.

Zero Disk Writes
No customer emails or queries are ever persisted to disk or databases.
Zero Graph Tracking
We do not enrich, sell, or track cross-platform identities.
GDPR & SOC 2 Ready
Zero PII storage means zero data liability for your security team.
