A fair read

Credit where it's due.

Proofy does real things well. Here's an honest split — their strengths, and the reasons teams still move to us.

Where Proofy is strong

  • Generous free starter allowance
  • Simple, no-friction verification
  • Clear, minimal pricing

Why teams switch to us

  • No conversational AI assistant
  • Lighter feature set and integrations
  • Lower stated accuracy ceiling than leaders
The verdict

Proofy keeps things simple with a generous free tier. EmailListChecker keeps the simplicity but raises the ceiling: honest 98.9% accuracy, a conversational AI assistant, deeper integrations, GDPR compliance, and credits that never expire. Easy to start, with room to scale when your lists grow.

Questions

The Proofy switch, answered.

Yes. EmailListChecker matches Proofy on the fundamentals — bulk verification, a real-time API and strong accuracy — and adds what Proofy doesn't offer: a conversational AI assistant that explains every verdict in plain English, credits that never expire, and honestly-published 98.9% accuracy. For teams that want answers and not just a cleaned file, it's a natural switch.
