Disify vs mailboxlayer
Disify
A free, keyless REST API that checks an email's syntax, DNS/MX records, whether its domain is disposable or on an allow-list, and whether its mailbox is a role address, returning a single JSON verdict. No signup is required for the core lookup, with paid business accounts available for higher volume.
mailboxlayer
A REST service from APILayer that checks whether an email address is syntactically valid, resolves to real DNS/MX records, and flags free or disposable providers in one call. Free for light personal use, with paid tiers for higher volume.
