The hidden cost

How are you losing customers?

Every visitor who doesn't sign up, or signs up with a bad email address, is a lost user and a lost customer. That lowers your MRR and raises your CAC.

Wrong format

A well-meaning user types john82@icloudcom (missing the dot before โ€œcomโ€). They never receive your emails and forget about you.

Typos

A prospect types sally23@gmial.com, never gets your welcome email, assumes your product doesn't work, and leaves.

Full mailbox

When a mailbox is full, its server rejects new messages. You can't reach that user, and they slip away.

Free email

An address from a free provider like yahoo.com is usually personal. If you sell B2B, it's often better to ask for a work email from the start.

Role addresses

Shared addresses like info@, admin@, or marketing@ are often read by nobody in particular, so your messages go unnoticed. Another lost customer.

Non-business email

If you sell to companies, a personal email hides who the lead works for, so you can't qualify them properly. That's a missed opportunity.

Disposable email

Low-intent users who just want to look around, and sometimes your competitors, sign up with these addresses. Any healthy business should block them.

Fake addresses

Malicious users sign up with fake addresses to abuse your product. Detecting them on their first attempt is the best protection.

Temporary email

Like disposable addresses, temporary inboxes bring low-quality users. The difference is that they delete themselves automatically after a while.

Spam traps

Someone may sign up with a spam trap address on purpose. Emailing it can get you flagged as a spammer and damage your sender reputation.

Alias addresses

Also known as tagged addresses (name+tag@gmail.com). Users rely on them to filter or hide their real address, and they make it easy to create duplicate accounts.

Email server problems

An address whose domain, DNS records, or mail server are misconfigured is as good as no address at all. That's why checking it up front is crucial.

    Simple API request

    One endpoint to rule them all

    Your developers call a single endpoint and check the response to know whether an email is valid. Everything else is configured from the dashboard.

    curl --location 'https://api.realmail.dev/v1/validate' --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{
      "email": "email@domain.com"
    }'
      

    Frequently Asked
    Questions

    General

    RealMail is an email validation API that helps startups and SaaS companies catch invalid, mistyped, and disposable email addresses at sign-up, before they cost you customers.

    Email validation reduces sign-up friction, improves deliverability, lowers bounce rates, and makes sure your emails reach real, active inboxes. That protects your sender reputation, improves engagement, and has a direct impact on your revenue.

    Because you can't afford to spend time and money attracting traffic, leads, and users only to lose them at the first and most important touchpoint: their email address.

    Studies suggest that around 30% of sign-ups are lost because email addresses aren't validated. Those users never become customers, and the bounced emails hurt your brand, which has a direct impact on your business.

    RealMail is built for startups: an easy-to-use dashboard, fully customizable rules, minimal development work, and real-time results. Our list of disposable domains is updated every day and enriched by our customers and the community.

    Relying only on magic links has drawbacks: users have to go back to their inbox every time they sign in, the emails can be caught by spam filters, links can expire before they are used, and many users aren't familiar with this method. Read more on our blog.

    Social login has drawbacks too: you depend on a third party for a key part of your product, you can lose users if the provider changes its terms, and it limits how you customize the experience and comply with privacy regulations. Evaluate these factors before relying on it. Read more on our blog.

    Getting Started

    Go to the sign-up page and create an account with your email or Google. Every new account includes 100 free validations, so you can try the service before you buy.

    It's easy. Create an API key in your dashboard and follow our documentation, which includes step-by-step instructions and code samples in several programming languages.

    No. There are no subscriptions or commitments: you buy credits as you need them. Each credit validates one email address.
