NeverBounce vs Bouncer

What actually differs
- Both publish $400 for 100,000 verifications. On price at that volume there is nothing to choose between them.
- Credit expiry is where they diverge completely: NeverBounce states credits expire 12 months after purchase, Bouncer states purchased credits never expire. At the same published price, that is the difference most likely to decide it for bulk buyers.
- Bouncer publishes 100 free credits. NeverBounce says free test credits exist but prints no number, so we cannot show one.
- Bouncer publishes an EU-only data-storage statement; we found no residency statement from NeverBounce.
- Bouncer publishes an accuracy figure (above 99% for deliverable results); NeverBounce publishes no accuracy percentage we could find.
Where we stand
For completeness, here are our own published figures, sourced the same way and held to the same standard: 2,500 credits at $19 to start, $299 at 100,000 pay-as-you-go, 100 free credits, and pay-as-you-go credits that never expire. We publish no data-residency commitment, so we make no residency claim — exactly as we report for any other service that does not publish one. On the round-up pages we appear as a row in the table alongside everyone else.
