Trueguard
$49.99/mo
50,000 validations

Verifalia
$219 one-time
50,000 verifications
Pay-as-you-go pack. Credits never expire.
The models are not the same shape, which is the point. Verifalia's pack never expires, so a one-off list clean can be cheaper in total. Trueguard is recurring, so continuous checking at signup costs the same every month with no credit multipliers to reason about.

Something out of date? Tell us and we will correct it.
Is Trueguard cheaper than Verifalia?
For recurring volume, yes: $49.99 a month for 50,000 validations against a $219 pack for the same count, which works out at $0.001 versus $0.00438 per validation. For a single one-off clean, Verifalia's non-expiring credits can be the better deal.
Do the verification results differ?
Both run syntax, MX, SMTP, catch-all, disposable and role checks. Verifalia returns 40-plus status codes; Trueguard returns four statuses (safe, risky, invalid, unknown) plus the individual signals, which is less to map in your code.
What does Trueguard do that Verifalia does not?
Device and browser fingerprinting, network fingerprinting, IP intelligence and event scoring. Email validation is one input to a fraud decision rather than the whole product.
Can I migrate without rewriting my integration?
It is one POST with one header and one body field, and the response is a single JSON object. Most migrations are a new endpoint, a new key and a mapping from your status branch to ours.
Is there a free tier to compare them?
Both have one. Trueguard gives 100 validations a month with no card; Verifalia gives 25 a day that reset at midnight UTC. Run the same list through both and compare the answers.
