Free Credits and Getting More
Good news: you don't need to spend a dime to try Valid Email Checker.
Every new account comes with 200 free credits—enough to verify 200 emails and see exactly how our service works.
No credit card required. No commitment. Just sign up and start verifying.
Your 200 Free Credits
Here's how to claim your free credits:
- Create your account at Valid Email Checker's Sign up page
- Confirm your email (check your inbox for the verification link)
- Log in and your 200 credits are waiting for you
That's it. Three steps and you're ready to verify.
What Can You Do With 200 Credits?
Each credit verifies one email address. So with 200 free credits, you can:
- Test a small list to see our accuracy firsthand
- Verify your most important contacts
- Try both single and bulk verification
- Explore the dashboard and results
It's enough to get a real feel for the platform—not just a teaser.
One Small Catch
Your free credits work perfectly in the dashboard for single and bulk verification. However, API access is enabled after your first purchase.
This helps us prevent abuse while still giving you a generous amount to test with. Once you buy any credit package (starting at just $5), the API unlocks automatically.
How Credits Work
Before you start buying more, here's a quick rundown of how credits work. (Don't worry—it's simple.)
Three Types of Credits
| Credit Type | How You Get Them | Do They Expire? |
|---|---|---|
| PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) | One-time purchases | ❌ Never expire |
| Monthly | Subscription plans | 🔄 Refresh each month |
| Rollover | Unused monthly credits | ⏰ Expire after 30 days |
Your free 200 credits? Those go into your PAYG bucket—which means they never expire. Use them whenever you're ready.
Which Credits Get Used First?
When you verify emails, your credits are consumed in this order:
- Monthly credits (use 'em or lose 'em)
- Rollover credits (before they expire)
- PAYG credits (your permanent stash)
This way, you always use expiring credits first and save your PAYG credits for later.
Getting More Credits
Ready for more? You've got two options:
Option 1: Pay-As-You-Go
Buy credits when you need them. No subscription, no commitment.
- Minimum purchase: $5 (gets you 2,100 credits—that's 2,000 + 100 bonus!)
- Never expire: Use them this week or next year
- Bulk discounts: The more you buy, the less you pay per credit
Perfect if your verification needs are occasional or unpredictable.
Option 2: Monthly Subscription
Get a fresh batch of credits every month at a lower per-credit rate.
- Better value: Lower cost per credit than PAYG
- Predictable: Same amount every month
- Rollover protection: Unused credits roll over for 30 days
Perfect if you verify emails regularly and want the best rates.
Auto-Refill: Never Run Out
Nobody wants to pause mid-campaign because they ran out of credits.
With Auto-Refill, your account automatically purchases more PAYG credits when your balance drops below a threshold you set.
How to Enable Auto-Refill
- Add a payment card to your account
- Turn on Auto-Refill in your dashboard
- Set your refill threshold and amount
That's it. You'll never run dry in the middle of a verification job again.
Auto-Refill only works with saved credit/debit cards. It's not available for cryptocurrency payments since those require manual confirmation.
