|---|---|---|
| Disposable Email Detection | 50,000+ domain database, real-time ML updates | Smaller database, less frequent updates |
| Catch-All Domain Detection | Multi-address probing, risk scoring, 95% accuracy | Basic catch-all detection |
| Role-Based Email Detection | Categorized: generic, support, admin, sales | Basic role detection |
| Spam Trap Detection | 1M+ identified traps, ISP partnerships | Limited spam trap coverage |

Pricing Comparison
BillionVerify is cheaper than Reoon at every volume tier β including the entry level where Reoon was previously competitive.
| Volume | BillionVerify | Reoon | Price Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $10 | $12 | BillionVerify 17% cheaper |
| 50,000 | $45 | ~$59 | BillionVerify 24% cheaper |
| 100,000 | $80 | ~$116 | BillionVerify 31% cheaper |
| 500,000 | $200 | ~$522 | BillionVerify 62% cheaper |
| 1,000,000 | $350 | ~$1,190 | BillionVerify 71% cheaper |
There is no crossover point. BillionVerify is cheaper than Reoon at all volumes, starting from the very first tier. See full pricing details.
When accuracy matters alongside price:
The 0.9% accuracy difference (99.9% vs 99%) produces 900 additional bounces per 100K emails. At 1M emails, that is 9,000 extra bounces. Most ESPs flag accounts that exceed 2% bounce rates. If your list has any existing quality issues, those additional bounces can push you over the threshold.
For cold email campaigns or transactional systems where deliverability is critical, BillionVerify delivers on both price and accuracy. There is no longer a reason to trade one for the other.
API Performance
BillionVerify's email validation API is built for production enterprise workloads with a published SLA. Reoon's API is functional but not documented or supported at an enterprise level.
| Metric | BillionVerify | Reoon |
|---|---|---|
| Average Response Time | <300ms | ~600ms |
| Speed Difference | Baseline | 2x slower |
| Uptime SLA | 99.99% | No published SLA |
| Infrastructure | Global CDN (15+ regions) | Single-region hosting |
| Rate Limit | 100 requests/second | Not publicly documented |
| API Documentation | Full, with code examples | Sparse |
| Code Libraries | JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java | Limited |
| Webhook Support | Full async processing | Limited |
| Enterprise Support | 24/7, SLA-backed | Email only, no SLA |
The 2x response time gap (300ms vs 600ms) is relevant for real-time validation in signup forms or checkout flows. At 600ms, server-side validation adds noticeable latency to the user experience.

Customer Reviews
Alex Rivera, Email Marketing Manager at DTC Brand Co. 5/5 stars "I used Reoon for 18 months because of the price. It worked fine for our B2C lists β mostly Gmail and Yahoo addresses. When we started doing B2B outreach, bounce rates crept up to 3.4% on corporate domains. Switched to BillionVerify and it dropped to 0.8%. The cost difference paid for itself in one campaign."
Sandra Lee, Operations Lead at ScaleUp Agency 5/5 stars "Reoon is genuinely cheap and decent for basic use. We moved to BillionVerify because we needed 24/7 support and an actual SLA for our enterprise clients. Reoon's email-only support with no response time guarantee was not acceptable for production systems."
James Okonkwo, CTO at B2B SaaS Co. 5/5 stars "The daily free credits at BillionVerify are underrated. 100 free verifications every day means we can continuously test our integration and run small QA checks without spending anything. Reoon's 100 one-time credits ran out in the first day of testing."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reoon accurate enough for cold email campaigns?
Reoon's 99% claimed accuracy can result in roughly 1,000 invalid addresses per 100K verified. For cold email campaigns targeting corporate addresses, performance may be lower. BillionVerify's 99.9% accuracy and stronger corporate domain coverage reduces this risk significantly.
How does BillionVerify maintain lower prices than Reoon while offering better infrastructure?
BillionVerify's pricing cut reflects operational efficiencies at scale. Despite lower prices, BillionVerify operates a global CDN across 15+ regions, maintains a 1M+ spam trap database with real-time updates, runs 24/7 support, and publishes a 99.99% uptime SLA. You get better infrastructure at a lower price point.
How many extra bounces does the 0.9% accuracy gap create?
At 100K emails: approximately 900 additional bounces. At 1M emails: approximately 9,000 additional bounces. Whether that matters depends on your sending domain's reputation, your ESP's bounce threshold, and the cost of remediation.
Does BillionVerify offer better disposable email detection than Reoon?
Yes. BillionVerify maintains a database of 50,000+ disposable email domains with real-time ML updates. Reoon's database is smaller and updated less frequently. This gap is more pronounced for newer disposable providers that appear rapidly.
Can I use Reoon for consumer lists and BillionVerify for B2B?
Yes. Some teams do exactly this β using Reoon's cheaper rates for large B2C lists and BillionVerify for B2B outreach where accuracy has higher stakes. Both services support API access, making dual-routing possible.
Does BillionVerify detect catch-all domains?
Yes. BillionVerify's catch-all verifier uses multi-address probing and risk scoring to identify catch-all domains at 95% accuracy. Reoon has basic catch-all detection but without the same scoring depth.
What does the daily free credit difference mean in practice?
BillionVerify's 100 free verifications per day equals 36,500 per year β useful for ongoing testing, small campaigns, and integration QA. Reoon's 100 one-time credits are gone after the first test session.
Does Reoon have role-account detection?
Basic detection. BillionVerify's role-account detection categorizes addresses into four types β generic, support, admin, and sales β and returns that classification per API call. This helps you decide which addresses to suppress before sending.
