Cons

Expensive
Clearout asks $58 for 10K email verification. With that, it covers under the most expensive email verifiers’ list. No doubt, it provides good accuracy at this cost, but the same or more than this level of accuracy for 10K emails can also be achieved at the lowest cost from other vendors such as MyEmailVerifier, DeBounce, etc.

MailboxValidator - Overview
