ZeroBounce
ZeroBounce exposes a slider-based PAYG pricing widget ($0.0138/credit at the 5,000-credit anchor) alongside a ZeroBounce ONE subscription discount and a freemium with 100 free monthly validations. Credits never expire and unknown results are free. Developer docs are open. xpay could not verify a machine-readable pricing manifest or an anonymous one-shot purchase.

Observational summary written by xpay from the signals captured on 2026-05-04. Not a review of the product — only of its current pricing posture for agent buyers.- Pricing is publicly visible on an indexable page — agents can read tiers without scraping past auth.
- Per-unit billing is published, so an agent can budget for a single task before committing.
- Every advertised tier is self-serve; no tier requires scheduling a call.
- API documentation is reachable without a login — discovery and integration can happen in one session.
- Per-unit rate is concrete enough that an agent can model expected spend before issuing a request.
- PPU requires account creation and an issued API key; a fully unauthenticated agent purchase is not yet supported.
- No /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or equivalent machine-readable pricing manifest is published — agents must rely on HTML scraping.
How ZeroBounce could lift its score
ZeroBounce lands at Verified. Two missing points: (1) publish /.well-known/ai-pricing.json reflecting the volume-based per-credit ladder; (2) front a Stripe Payment Link so an unauthenticated agent can buy a credit pack in one shot.
