Where SIndbox Intel Leads
While competitors focus on breadth, we focus on depth and accuracy — the two things that actually matter when your sender reputation is on the line.
AI-Powered Intelligence
Unlike basic pass/fail verification, our proprietary intelligence score analyzes 40+ data points to give you a 0–100 confidence rating for every email. Know exactly how risky an address is before you send.
Sub-500ms API Response
Our verification API returns results in under 500 milliseconds — fast enough for real-time form validation. Most competitors take 2–5 seconds per lookup, making real-time integration impractical.
Domain Health Analysis
Go beyond individual email checks. Our domain intelligence dashboard shows MX records, SPF/DKIM/DMARC status, catch-all detection, and overall health scoring — data no other email finder surfaces.
Generous Free Plan
Our Starter plan gives you 100 free verifications and lookups every month — 4x more than Hunter.io's free tier. No credit card required, no time limits, no feature gates.
