Differentiators

What Sets EVA Apart

Three capabilities no other email verification provider offers out of the box.

Provider-Specific Verification

Most verifiers treat all mail servers the same. EVA uses custom SMTP strategies for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, and more, catching what others miss.

Self-Hosted Option

Most mainstream verifiers are cloud-only. Run EVA on your infrastructure and verify unlimited emails with zero per-email costs. $4,995/yr, updates and support included.

Credits That Never Expire

Buy credits when you need them. Unlike competitors who reset your balance monthly, EVA credits roll over indefinitely. Pay once, use whenever.
