Scrubby offers a simple, low-cost entry point for small business owners who verify small lists occasionally. Their Starter pack ($15 for 2 000 verifications) is competitively priced for micro-volumes, and the tool is designed for non-technical users who want to upload a CSV and get results without learning API concepts. The straightforward dashboard experience is genuine value for less demanding use cases.
emailzeno provides dramatically better value at any recurring volume. For $9/mo (Solo), you get 5 000 verifications — more than 2× their $15 pack, renewed monthly. Our Growth plan ($29, 25 000) covers 2.5× their Business pack for less than half the price. EU hosting, auto-refunds, full API, and 35+ integrations add capability Scrubby simply doesn't have. The Unlimited plan ($39) removes all volume caps entirely.
Switching from Scrubby? Export your CSV results — their status format uses Deliverable, Undeliverable, Risky, and Unknown. Import undeliverable/risky rows into emailzeno's Suppression Manager on your first login. The migration from CSV upload to our CSV upload is a 1:1 workflow — the main upgrade is the richer result data and API access you'll get going forward.
