# Bouncer: verification credits and recurring HubSpot checks Bouncer verifies email addresses and can feed recommendations into HubSpot workflows. Canonical page: https://quillwell.com/guides/software/bouncer/ Updated 2026-10-31 Publisher: Quillwell Guides (https://quillwell.com/guides/about/). Editorial standards: https://quillwell.com/guides/editorial/ ## The short answer - Bouncer fits teams that want recurring HubSpot checks to inform a configured workflow. - Pay-as-you-go credits do not expire, and unknown results are uncharged. - Keep the address status, reason and domain flag separate when deciding what to do. - Compare a filtered list export if that is the action your team needs. ## Read the result in context Decide how your team will handle uncertain addresses before turning verification results into sending rules. A risky label can cover different situations that deserve different treatment. [Bouncer’s terminology](https://docs.usebouncer.com/terminology) separates address status and reason from the domain accept-all flag. Bouncer includes full and disposable mailboxes in risky results; unknown can reflect a timeout or unsupported provider. For example, a full mailbox may warrant a later check, while a disposable address may need a different policy. Preserve the original fields so a downstream rule can distinguish them. [Bouncer’s FAQ](https://www.usebouncer.com/faq/) says unknown means no provider response and is uncharged. A catch-all domain flag alone does not settle whether an individual mailbox exists. ## Connect results to HubSpot Use a configured workflow when the desired outcome is a contact action rather than a file of results. A recommendation field needs a rule that consumes it. [Bouncer’s HubSpot integration](https://www.usebouncer.com/integrations/hubspot/) describes an initial list check and hourly checks for new contacts. AutoClean can recheck existing contacts at a chosen day interval, and its recommendation field can drive keep, suppress or quarantine workflows. Test a contact already in an active list and inspect the resulting marketing status. A recommendation by itself does not prove the contact was suppressed across the CRM. Ask how repeated checks use credits and what removal covers. ## Choose the verification mode Compare completed outputs from the same route when evaluating results. Response timing can change the share left unresolved. [Bouncer’s integration guidance](https://docs.usebouncer.com/integration-guidelines) says real-time checks can return more unknowns when retries or long connections are needed. Batch jobs queue sequentially; batch and sync use a 24-hour cache and can return partial results before completion. Record the mode and whether the queue finished with each export. A quick response and a completed batch are different observations, so neither should be treated as an accuracy ranking on its own. ## Plan credits and guarantee eligibility Estimate repeat checks as well as the initial list before choosing a credit balance. The remedy for a qualifying bounce concerns the check itself. [Bouncer pricing](https://www.usebouncer.com/pricing/) lists a 1,000-credit pay-as-you-go minimum and non-expiring credits. Bouncer lists $60 for 10,000 credits; its Deliverability Kit is a separate subscription for placement and authentication tests. [Bouncer’s guarantee](https://www.usebouncer.com/bouncer-guarantee/) offers a refund or credit for a deliverable verdict that objectively bounces within 72 hours. It excludes spam and soft bounces and describes compensation for the individual check. [Bouncer’s general terms](https://www.usebouncer.com/terms-and-conditions/) say purchases are non-refundable on cancellation. Ask how the specific guarantee is processed alongside those terms before relying on a cash refund. ## Test the handoff A useful trial follows the result through the workflow that will use it. Use permitted records and keep the original response before changing any CRM action. Include an unresolved case and a contact already present in another list. Inspect the timestamp and the action taken after your rule runs, then compare that outcome with the policy your team intended. The [software trial guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/software-trial/) helps organize the evaluation. A classified result is a signal about an address, not proof of future inbox placement. ## How to compare the alternatives Consider Emailable when your team wants a filtered HubSpot list and verification described as sending no emails. Consider ZeroBounce when its optional catch-all workflow and account credit terms fit your process. The [ZeroBounce alternatives comparison](https://quillwell.com/guides/compare/zerobounce-alternatives/) compares the documented workflows. Use the [email verification buying guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/email-verification-software/) to plan a shared evaluation. ## Common questions ### Does Bouncer charge for unknown results?
