Question 1

Is Continuum's accuracy comparable to NeverBounce?

Accepted Answer

Both run the same underlying checks — syntax, MX, disposable, role, catch-all, and SMTP probing. For SMTP-verifiable addresses both sit at 98%+ accuracy. Continuum also handles greylisting explicitly, reducing false unknown results on strict corporate mail servers.

Question 2

Why flat pricing instead of credits?

Accepted Answer

Credit-based pricing is great for one-off list cleaning and awkward for ongoing workflows. Flat plans mean verify freely up to the included volume with predictable overage pricing when exceeded — better fit for verify-at-signup plus continuous monitoring.

Question 3

Can I migrate from NeverBounce to Continuum?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export your verified list as CSV and upload via the bulk jobs endpoint or dashboard. Response fields map closely (status, sub_status, isDisposable, isRoleAccount, isCatchAll) — a couple of hours of integration work.

Question 4

Does Continuum offer phone and IP verification?

Accepted Answer

Yes, included in every plan at no extra cost — line-type, country, and carrier for phone; geolocation, ISP, and VPN/proxy detection with a risk score for IP. NeverBounce is email-only.

Question 5

Which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose Continuum for flat monthly pricing, continuous monitoring, signed webhooks, and phone+IP intelligence bundled. Choose NeverBounce for one-off list cleaning with credit-pack pricing or if you rely on a direct ESP integration NeverBounce ships.
