Which email verification credits expire?
If you buy verification credits in bulk, the expiry policy is often worth more than the per-credit rate. Here is what each service publishes, in its own words.
Every figure below is quoted from the company’s own published pages, linked and dated. Where we could not confirm something, the table says so instead of guessing.

What actually differs
- Most services in this market publish that credits never expire — it has become close to a category norm.
- NeverBounce is the clear exception: it publishes that credits expire 12 months after purchase.
- Clearout's policy is conditional and the condition matters: purchased and subscription credits have lifetime validity, but discounted credits may carry an expiry date.
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.
