What is Clearout?
Clearout is an email verification and prospecting platform that checks whether email addresses can receive mail and helps find new business contacts. It validates addresses one by one, in bulk or through an API, and includes catch-all verification for domains that accept every address. It also finds work emails from a person's name and company, which makes it useful for both list cleaning and lead generation.
Clearout extends into data quality more broadly. Form Guard checks emails, phone numbers and names on web forms in real time, ClearoutPhone validates phone numbers worldwide, and Data Pulse monitors CRM contacts over time. The platform offers a Chrome extension for LinkedIn prospecting, a Google Sheets add-on, a WordPress plugin, and a REST API with webhooks and an MCP server.

Clearout FAQ
Is Clearout free?
Clearout gives every new account 100 free credits, and no card is needed to start. That lets you test email verification and the email finder. After that, you buy credits as a one-time pack or through a monthly or annual subscription. Unused credits roll over and never expire.
What is Clearout used for?
Clearout is used to verify email addresses, find business emails and block bad form submissions. Marketers clean lists before sending, sales teams find and check prospect emails, and site owners use Form Guard or the WordPress plugin to stop fake signups. It also validates phone numbers in many countries.
Clearout vs NeverBounce: what's the difference?
Clearout and NeverBounce both verify emails in bulk and through an API. Clearout adds an email finder, a LinkedIn Chrome extension, form protection and phone validation, so it covers prospecting as well as hygiene. NeverBounce is more focused on list cleaning and syncing with email platforms. Compare credit prices at your volume before choosing.
Does Clearout integrate with HubSpot?
Yes. Clearout integrates with HubSpot, Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign, so you can verify contacts stored in those tools. It also offers a Google Sheets add-on, a WordPress plugin and a Zapier integration, plus a REST API and webhooks for custom connections.
Do Clearout credits expire?
No. Clearout credits do not expire and do not reset each month. Unused credits from subscriptions roll over, and one-time purchases stay in your account until you use them. This makes Clearout practical for teams that verify lists irregularly rather than on a fixed schedule.
