Pricing Tiers: ActiveCampaign offers tiered pricing based on contact count, starting from $29/month for up to 1,000 contacts (Lite plan) up to Enterprise plans with custom pricing. Unlike basic email marketing platforms, ActiveCampaign charges based on the sophistication of features you need, not just contact count.
However, even the most sophisticated automation workflows can fail if your contact database contains invalid email addresses. High bounce rates damage your sender reputation, trigger spam filters, and waste budget on contacts that don't exist—which is where our becomes essential for ActiveCampaign users.
Email Verification Features

Join thousands of businesses using our email validator to verify email addresses and clean email lists. Start email verification with our free trial - no credit card required.
While ActiveCampaign excels at delivering personalized automation experiences, it doesn't verify email addresses before adding them to your contact database. If your lists contain invalid or risky emails, you'll face serious challenges:
❌ Damaged Sender Reputation: Invalid emails cause hard bounces, which hurt your domain reputation with ISPs and can trigger deliverability issues across all your campaigns
❌ Wasted Automation Budget: You're paying ActiveCampaign for contacts that don't exist or will never engage
❌ Inaccurate Lead Scoring: Poor data quality skews engagement metrics, making lead scoring unreliable
❌ Broken Automation Workflows: Bounces and invalid emails create friction in otherwise smooth customer journeys
❌ Lower ROI: Campaign performance metrics are distorted, making it harder to optimize and prove marketing ROI
❌ Spam Trap Hits: Old or invalid emails may turn into spam traps, blacklisting your sending domain

FAQ About ActiveCampaign Integration
How does this integration work with ActiveCampaign?
The BillionVerify + ActiveCampaign integration works via API or webhooks. When someone is added to your ActiveCampaign contact database, our API verifies the email in real-time (less than 1 second). Valid emails are kept active and can trigger automation workflows, invalid ones are unsubscribed or tagged for review, and risky emails are flagged for manual inspection.
Will it slow down my ActiveCampaign forms?
No. BillionVerify's API responds in less than 1 second on average (median response time: 450ms). For even faster performance, you can use asynchronous validation (verify after form submission completes) or enable our caching layer for previously verified emails (instant validation).
Can I verify my existing ActiveCampaign contacts?
Yes! You can verify existing contacts in multiple ways:
🔒 Encryption: All API calls use HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption
🔒 GDPR Compliant: We don't store or share your email data beyond verification
🔒 SOC 2 Type II Certified: Industry-standard security practices and audits
🔒 API Key Security: Keys are encrypted at rest and can be rotated anytime
🔒 Data Retention: Emails are processed in real-time and not permanently stored
🔒 Audit Logs: Full audit trail available for compliance requirements
🔒 CCPA Compliant: Respecting California privacy regulations
Your contact data is transmitted securely and never shared with third parties. We maintain SOC 2 Type II certification and undergo regular security audits.
What's the difference between this and ActiveCampaign's built-in validation?
Great question! ActiveCampaign performs basic syntax validation on forms, but it doesn't verify if the email actually exists or can receive mail. Here's the comparison:
ActiveCampaign Built-in:
✅ Syntax check (format validation)
❌ No mailbox existence verification
❌ No domain health check
❌ No disposable email detection
❌ No catch-all detection
❌ No role account detection
❌ No spam trap detection
BillionVerify:
✅ Full syntax validation (RFC 5322)
✅ Mailbox existence verification (SMTP)
✅ Domain health and MX record check
✅ Disposable email detection (500,000+ domains)
✅ Catch-all domain detection
✅ Role account detection
✅ Spam trap and honeypot detection
✅ Deliverability scoring (0-100)
BillionVerify provides enterprise-grade verification that goes 10+ layers deeper than basic syntax checks.
