Clever Mode: Smart, Cost-Efficient Verification

Clever Mode uses a waterfall approach to optimize accuracy and cost, ensuring you only pay for the verification level needed. It automatically selects the best verification method based on the email’s risk level.

  • Smart Verification Process: Starts with Quick Verification (1 Sparkle per email), upgrades to Thorough Verification (2 Sparkles per email) for "Unknown" emails, and applies Catch-All Analysis (5 Sparkles per email) for suspected catch-all domains.

  • Cost-Effective & Automated: No manual re-verification required, reducing Sparkle consumption.

  • Higher Accuracy, Lower Cost: More accurate than Quick Verification alone, but more cost-efficient than always using higher verification levels.

Clever Mode ensures that your email list verification is both budget-friendly and effective without requiring manual intervention.
