API Performance

BillionVerify's email validation API responds 2.2x faster than MEV's. MEV's API is functional for batch workflows but is not optimized or documented for high-frequency real-time use.

For real-time form validation, 650ms per call adds measurable latency. A user submitting a form and waiting for server-side validation will notice a half-second pause at MEV's average versus under 300ms with BillionVerify.

Customer Reviews

Daniel Kowalski, Growth Lead at SaaS Platform 5/5 stars "We used MyEmailVerifier for our first two years. At smaller volumes, MEV was clearly cheaper. But when we scaled past 300K/month, BillionVerify became significantly cheaper. The savings at that volume made the switch straightforward — plus the API speed improvement was a bonus."

Amy Chen, Email Campaign Manager at Retailco 5/5 stars "The thing I didn't anticipate was MEV's credit expiration. We'd buy a block of credits and forget to use them before the expiry date. BillionVerify's credits never expire, which means we can buy for bulk discounts and use at our own pace without losing anything."

Raj Sharma, Platform Engineer at CloudTools 5/5 stars "MEV's API documentation is thin. Getting it integrated into our Go backend required a lot of trial and error. BillionVerify has a native Go SDK with examples. The integration took 30 minutes instead of three hours."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BillionVerify cheaper than MyEmailVerifier at all volumes?

Yes. BillionVerify is cheaper than MEV at every volume tier. At 10K emails, BillionVerify is $10 versus MEV's $15 (33% cheaper). At 100K, BillionVerify is $80 versus MEV's $99 (19% cheaper). At 500K, BillionVerify is $200 versus MEV's $249 (20% cheaper). There is no longer a volume where MEV offers a lower price.

What does the 0.9% accuracy gap mean for real campaigns?

At 100K emails: approximately 900 additional invalid addresses that bounce. At 1M emails: approximately 9,000. If your sender domain is new or your bounce rate is already near your ESP's threshold (typically 2%), these extra bounces can trigger account flags or suspension. This is consistent regardless of which service is cheaper at your volume.

Does MyEmailVerifier have an uptime SLA?

MEV does not publish a formal uptime SLA. BillionVerify guarantees 99.99% uptime. For production systems where verification is part of a critical flow — signup validation, transactional email systems — a published SLA matters for incident accountability.

How does BillionVerify's free trial compare to MEV's?

BillionVerify provides 100 free verifications every day with no credit card. MEV offers 100 one-time free checks. Over a year, BillionVerify's free tier equals 36,500 verifications — enough to run daily QA checks and small test campaigns at zero cost.

Does BillionVerify detect catch-all domains better than MEV?

BillionVerify's catch-all verifier uses multi-address probing and risk scoring at 95% accuracy. MEV's catch-all detection is basic. For B2B lists with corporate domains, stronger catch-all detection reduces the proportion of uncertain results.

Does BillionVerify offer role-account detection?

Yes. BillionVerify's role-account detection identifies and categorizes role-based addresses: generic (info@, contact@), support (help@, support@), admin (admin@, webmaster@), and sales (sales@, business@). This is returned in every API call with no additional charge.

Can I use BillionVerify for real-time signup form validation?

Yes. At under 300ms average response time with a 100 requests/second rate limit and global CDN across 15+ regions, BillionVerify is purpose-built for real-time validation. MEV's 650ms average and undocumented rate limits make it less suitable for high-frequency real-time flows.

Does BillionVerify support bulk email verification?

Yes. BillionVerify supports bulk email verification via file upload (CSV, Excel, TXT, JSON) and API. Processing runs at 50K emails/hour. MEV also supports bulk upload at 25K emails/hour with CSV and TXT formats.

What happens to unused BillionVerify credits?

Nothing — they carry forward indefinitely. BillionVerify credits never expire. MEV credits have an expiration period, which means unused credits from a bulk purchase are lost if not used in time.

How does disposable email detection compare?

BillionVerify maintains a database of 50,000+ disposable email domains with real-time ML updates, catching emerging providers as they appear. MEV's disposable database is smaller and updated less frequently. For industries where signup fraud is common, this gap affects how many temporary addresses slip through.

Conclusion
