BounceLayer

Verify before you send, not after you're blocked

One bad list can put a sending domain in the penalty box for weeks. BounceLayer verifies your prospects for under $1 per 1,000 emails at volume, so every campaign starts clean.

A bounce is not a lost prospect. It's a signal.

A cold email bounce tells the inbox provider you don't know who you are emailing.

Mail providers watch your bounce rate. If it stays high, they can treat it as a spam signal against your whole sending domain, not just one campaign. Once that happens, the fix is not a better subject line. It is weeks of warming up a replacement domain while your pipeline goes quiet.

The other half of the cost is invisible. Replies you never received, from prospects who were real, sitting behind an address that decayed since your data provider scraped it. B2B email data decays at roughly 2% a month. A list bought six months ago is already a different list.

How it works

  1. 1Upload your list. Use a CSV in the dashboard, or send it from your tools through the API. There's no minimum volume.
  2. 2Get a result for each address: valid, invalid, catch-all, disposable or role-based.
  3. 3Send only the valid rows. Hold catch-alls for a secondary domain if you want to take the risk. Drop the rest.

What each result means for outreach

ResultWhat to do
InvalidRemove it. This is your hard bounce.
Catch-allThe server accepts everything, so nobody can confirm the mailbox exists. Send at low volume from a secondary domain, or skip it.
Role-basedinfo@, sales@, support@. Low reply rate and high complaint rate. Cut these from cold outreach.
DisposableNot a real prospect. Always cut these.
Free providerGmail or Outlook on a B2B list usually signals bad targeting, not a bad address.

Built for how agencies actually work

  • Credits never expire. A client offboards in March and a new one onboards in June, and your balance is still there.
  • Under $1 per 1,000 emails. 100,000 prospects cost $99 with a one-time pack, or $79 a month on the Pro plan.
  • One account, many clients. Tag each upload with a client or campaign name to keep lists separate.
  • Fast enough to run inline, so verification can sit in your enrichment step instead of being a batch job someone forgets to run.

Common questions

How often should I re-verify a list?

Before every campaign if the list is older than 30 days. At roughly 2% monthly decay, a quarterly list is about 6% dead before you touch it.

Will verification fix my bounce rate on its own?

It fixes hard bounces from bad addresses. It will not fix missing SPF, DKIM or DMARC records, a cold domain, or bad targeting. Verify and authenticate.

What do I do with catch-all addresses?

No verifier can confirm them, because the receiving server accepts everything. Treat them as a calculated risk and never send them from your primary domain.

Can I verify inside Instantly, Smartlead or Lemlist?

Yes. Clean a CSV before you import it, or call the API in your enrichment step before a contact enters the sequence.

Do you store my prospect list?

Verification results are returned to you and uploaded files are deleted on the schedule set out in our privacy policy.
