Mailguard
Email verification API with a free tier, up to 100x cheaper
MailGuard is an email verification API for developers. One call checks syntax, MX records, disposable and role addresses, suggests typo fixes, and returns a 0-100 deliverability score. Free tier (500/mo, no card), and up to 100x cheaper than the incumbents.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Anthony, and I built MailGuard, an email verification API for developers.
Every signup form quietly collects bad emails: typos like gmial.com, throwaway inboxes, and dead domains. They inflate your bounce rate and hurt your sender reputation. MailGuard catches them in one call.
Send an email, get back:
✅ syntax + live MX (mail server) checks
✅ disposable / throwaway detection
✅ role-account flags (info@, admin@)
✅ "did you mean gmail.com?" typo suggestions
✅ a 0-100 deliverability score
What makes it different:
🔹 A genuinely free tier: 500 checks a month, no card.
🔹 Up to 100x cheaper than the established providers, because it runs on Cloudflare Workers with no database, so my costs are tiny and I pass the savings on.
🔹 Privacy-first: it doesn't store the emails you verify.
🔹 Works with any stack (plain REST), plus a zero-dependency npm SDK.
You can try it right now with no signup on the free email checker, or grab a key and drop it into your signup flow in minutes.
Honest note: it does syntax + MX + heuristics, not live SMTP mailbox probing. That keeps it fast and cheap, and it's the right level for stopping junk at signup.
I'd love your feedback, especially on the accuracy and the scoring. Happy to answer anything 🙏
