Every lookup returns a risk signal, not just valid or invalid
A number can be perfectly well-formed and still be a burner, a VOIP line opened this morning, or a number other businesses have already reported. 1Lookup returns a risk score, a spam indicator and line type on the same call as the validation, so the decision to block, challenge or allow can be made in one request.
Real-time Risk Scoring
Instant fraud probability assessment for every number
Pattern Recognition
Detect suspicious behavior patterns across millions of numbers
Adaptive Learning
AI that improves fraud detection accuracy over time
Example response
One credit balance
Every product below draws from the same credits, at $0.00200–$0.00495 per credit depending on plan.
- Phone validation1 credit
- Email verification1 credit
- IP intelligence1 credit
- Spam and risk score1 credit
Buy credits once, spend them on whatever you need to check
Most validation tools sell one channel, so a team checking phones, emails and IPs ends up with three vendors, three invoices and three unused balances. 1Lookup bills all of them from a single credit pool on a monthly plan, with no contract, and leftover credits carry into the next quarter instead of expiring at midnight.
Phone, email and IP on one API
One key, one balance, one integration
Phone data refreshed daily
From FCC and carrier sources
No contract
Monthly plans, with three-month credit rollover
A full line profile, not a status code
The same call returns HLR data, subscriber status, porting history, network type and roaming state. That is the difference between knowing a number is formatted correctly and knowing whether a message sent to it will arrive.

Simple Migration from Emailable
const client = emailable.client('your_api_key');
const result = await client.verify(
'test@example.com'
);
// Email validation only
`https://api.1lookup.io/v1/validate`,
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {'X-API-Key': key},
body: JSON.stringify({email, phone, ip})
}
);
What migrating from Emailable actually involves
Both are REST APIs returning JSON, so the move is a URL, a key and a field mapping rather than a rewrite. The call above is the real shape of each request. Where the work usually goes is the response: our field names differ, and anything you were deriving from a status code may already be a field you can read directly.
One endpoint per channel
Phone, email and IP, same key and same balance
Email Support to Dedicated CSM
Support level rises with the plan, not with a separate fee

Emailable vs 1Lookup FAQ
Common questions about Emailable and switching to 1Lookup
What is Emailable?
Emailable is an established email verification service that checks whether email addresses are valid, active, and safe to send to before you email them. It flags risky, disposable, role-based, and free-provider addresses and returns a deliverability result through its API, dashboard, and bulk list-cleaning tools. It is a legitimate, widely used tool that marketing and deliverability teams rely on to cut bounce rates and protect sender reputation.
How much does Emailable cost?
As of publication, Emailable uses volume-based pricing with a free tier (a small batch of credits that don't expire), pay-as-you-go rates that start around $0.004 per verification, and monthly plans starting around $30 for roughly 5,000 verifications. Per-email rates drop as your monthly volume increases, and enterprise customers can request custom pricing. Because pricing changes over time, check Emailable's official pricing page for the current rates.
What is the best Emailable alternative?
The best alternative depends on what you need to verify. If you only clean email lists, Emailable is a strong, focused choice; if you also need to validate phone numbers and IP addresses, 1Lookup covers email, phone, and IP through one API and a single universal credit system. Teams consolidating multiple verification vendors often choose 1Lookup to avoid managing separate tools and credit pools.
How is 1Lookup different from Emailable?
Emailable specializes in email verification, while 1Lookup is a broader data-verification API that validates emails, phone numbers, and IP addresses through a single API and one shared credit system. 1Lookup also offers carrier/HLR lookup, reverse lookup, and fraud and IP intelligence, with data refreshed daily from FCC and carrier sources. Both handle email validation well; 1Lookup's main edge is unifying phone, email, and IP checks in one platform, backed by a free trial.
Can I try 1Lookup for free?
Yes. 1Lookup offers a 7-day free trial so you can test email, phone, and IP verification before committing to a paid plan. The same universal credit system works across every lookup type, so your trial credits apply to whatever you need to validate.
Is Emailable worth it in 2026?
Emailable is a solid buy for list cleaning at scale: per-verification cost falls from $0.0076 at 5K to $0.0021 at 1M, a subscription takes a further 15% off, credits never expire, and unknown results and duplicates are refunded. The buying-shape catch is the floor and the extras: the minimum paid purchase is 5,000 credits ($38), and deliverability features draw down the same pool quickly at 100 credits per inbox report. It is also email only, and self-serve pricing tops out at 1,000,000 credits before you have to talk to sales. If your signup or lead flow also needs phone or IP validation, a multi-channel per-lookup API like 1Lookup covers all three channels on one credit balance.

The same month, priced both ways
Pick one of Emailable’s own published volumes. Their figure is their published price at that tier; ours is the cheapest plan on our rate card that covers it. Nothing here is interpolated.
1Lookup
$99/mo
The Starter plan, 20,000 credits a month at $4.95 per 1,000. Using 10,000 of them is 50% of the plan, so $9.90 per 1,000 effective.
Emailable
$60
Their published price for “10,000 verifications”, at $6 per 1,000.
At 10,000 a month, Emailable is $39 cheaper. Our smallest plan that covers this volume includes 20,000 credits, so the gap closes as you use more of it.

Before you sign: Emailable and 1Lookup on the operational terms
The terms that decide what a year actually costs, rather than what the first month does. A blank means we could not verify it on either product’s published pages, not that the answer is nothing.

|---|---|---|
| Minimum commitment | None. Monthly plans with no contract and no minimum volume; cancel any time | None. The pricing FAQ states "There are no long term contracts or commitments required" and subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. The minimum credit purchase is 5,000 credits. |
| Going over your quota | — | No overage rate published. Credits are prepaid; duplicates and Unknown results are refunded back to the credit balance on completion of a list. |
| API access | Included on every plan and during the free trial; there is no tier that unlocks it | No tier gate published.

Enterprise accounts can request custom rate limits. |
| Rate limit | 1,000 requests per minute on standard accounts, with higher limits available on request | Standard accounts: /v1/verify 25 per second, /v1/batch 5 per second, /v1/account 5 per second. Enterprise accounts: custom, and "Enterprise accounts may request higher rate limits." |

Emailable fine print worth reading twice
Published terms that change what Emailable costs or what you can do with it. Each one links to the Emailable page it was read on, because a claim about somebody else’s contract should be checkable in one click.
The minimum credit purchase is 5,000 credits, so the smallest paid order is $38.
Read it on Emailable’s siteThe lower advertised rate of $32.30 for 5,000 credits requires a recurring monthly subscription; the same 5,000 credits bought one-time as pay-as-you-go cost $38.
Read it on Emailable’s siteDeliverability features consume credits at a much higher rate than verification: Inbox Reports cost 100 credits per report and Blacklist Monitors cost 5 credits per check, against 1 credit per email verification.
Read it on Emailable’s sitePayments for bulk or monthly credits must be made upfront and are not refundable.
Read it on Emailable’s siteCredits and pre-paid services are forfeited if an account is terminated for non-payment or inactivity, with no refund regardless of the credit balance remaining.
Read it on Emailable’s siteThe deliverability guarantee requires a minimum list size of 1,000 unique addresses, requires the addresses to have been emailed within 24 hours of verification, and requires the claim to be raised within 72 hours of the discrepancy.

What you actually work in
Emailable is a dashboard UI screenshots of the Bulk product: named Bulk List cards in uploading, verifying and complete states showing a deliverability donut chart and a View Results button, plus a Bulk List overview with result and reason breakdown cards and an export configuration widget product you log into. 1Lookup is an API and a dashboard you mostly do not log into: you call it from the system that already has the record. Which of those you want is usually the whole decision, so here is theirs.
