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, SOC 2 + GDPR, 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.
