The All-in-One Advantage

Other validators check if an email exists. That's it. But valid emails still land in spam if your domain reputation is bad or your content triggers spam filters.

Floy covers the entire deliverability pipeline:

Validate Your List

Remove invalid, catch-all, and disposable addresses before you send.

📝

Check Spam Score

Scan your email content for spam triggers and get fix suggestions.

🏠

Check Domain Reputation

Verify SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and DNS blacklists before sending.

📤

Send Campaigns

Use the built-in bulk sender with your own SMTP. Up to 2,000 emails/day free.

With ZeroBounce or NeverBounce, you'd need to buy 3–4 separate tools to get the same coverage — and still pay per email for validation.

Price Comparison: The Real Cost

Let's look at what you actually pay per year for a typical cold outreach workflow:

Tool Needed Floy Pro ZeroBounce + Separate Tools
Email validation (18k/yr) Included ~$120/year
Spam score checker Included ~$15/month = $180/year
Domain reputation + DNSBL Included ~$10/month = $120/year
Bulk mail sender Included ~$20/month = $240/year
Total Annual Cost $50/year $660+/year

Floy saves you over $600 per year compared to assembling the same toolkit from separate vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Floy's email validation as accurate as ZeroBounce?
Yes. Floy uses the mails.so API for deep SMTP verification — the same enterprise-grade technology that powers major validation services. It checks syntax, domain MX records, and pings the recipient server to verify the mailbox exists. Catch-all and disposable detection are included.
How can Floy be so much cheaper?
Floy charges a flat annual fee instead of billing per email. This means you can validate your entire list without watching a counter tick up and worrying about overage charges. We keep costs low by focusing on self-service tools and not spending millions on outbound sales teams.
What happens when I run out of monthly validations?
Pro users get 1,500 validations per month (resetting on the 1st). If you need more, you can upgrade to a higher plan or wait for the next month's reset. Free users get 25 validations per day — enough for small lists and testing.
Does Floy find emails like Hunter.io?
No. Floy is a deliverability toolkit — it validates, scores, and sends. It does not search for email addresses online. If you need to find emails, use Hunter.io for discovery and then validate them in Floy for the best results.
Do I need a credit card to try Floy?
No. Guests can validate 5 emails instantly with no sign-up. Registered free users get 25 validations per day. No payment info required until you upgrade to Pro.
Can I export validated emails to CSV?
Yes. After validation, click the CSV export button to download your clean list. You can also copy valid emails directly to your clipboard with one click.
