MillionVerifier shines for occasional bulk cleans. But if you want to stop a fake or mistyped address before it ever enters your database, you need a fast real-time API. Ours returns a verdict in well under a second so you can accept, block, flag or retry inline.
A common MillionVerifier complaint is the ambiguous "risky" category with little explanation. Our engine returns a precise status, passed, failed, unknown (catch-all) or transient, so your code and your team always know what to do next.
We never store the addresses you check. They are SHA-512 hashed and auto-deleted within 30 days, which matters for GDPR and enterprise procurement.
