Credits & Pricing

The Email Verifier uses a credit-based system. Credit cost depends on the verification mode:

• Quick mode: 1 credit per email (22 checks)
• Deep mode: 2 credits per email (all 25 checks including SMTP verification)

Free monthly credits

Every TrekMail plan includes free verification credits that reset monthly on your billing date:

Unused monthly credits do not roll over.

Purchasing extra credits

Need more? Buy credit packs from the Buy Credits button on the Email Verifier page:

Credits are purchased via inline card payment (Stripe Payment Element) — no redirect needed. Purchased credits never expire and are used only after your monthly allocation runs out.

How credits are deducted

1. Monthly credits are used first — we deduct from your free monthly allocation
2. Then purchased credits — only used when monthly credits are exhausted
3. Credits are deducted upfront — when you click Start Verification, the full count is charged before verification begins. The "What will happen" summary in Step 1 (Prepare) shows the exact credit cost before you confirm
4. Quick mode: 1 credit per email — regardless of the verification result (safe, invalid, unknown)
5. Deep mode: 2 credits per email — the extra credit covers SMTP verification and additional checks

Examples:

• 500 emails in Quick mode = 500 credits
• 500 emails in Deep mode = 1,000 credits
• 1,000 emails in Quick mode with 100 monthly credits remaining = 100 monthly + 900 purchased

Usage limits

There are no daily verification limits. Usage is bounded only by your credit balance (monthly allocation + purchased credits).

Monthly credit reset

• Nano accounts: Monthly credits reset on the 1st of each month (via verifier:reset-free-credits cron command)
• Paid accounts: Monthly credits reset on subscription invoice renewal
