DropMail vs Email Validation
DropMail
A GraphQL API for spinning up ephemeral inboxes and reading their incoming mail over HTTP or a live WebSocket subscription. It now requires a free self-service `af_` token for every request after retiring support for arbitrary legacy tokens.
Email Validation
AbstractAPI's email verification endpoint checks format, deliverability, and quality signals such as disposable, free, and role-based addresses, returning an autocorrect suggestion and quality score per lookup. A free monthly quota is available before metered paid plans apply.
| DropMail | Email Validation | |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | API Key | API Key |
| Pricing | free | freemium |
| Formats | JSON | JSON |
| CORS | no | yes |
| HTTPS | Yes | Yes |
Email Validation supports CORS, while DropMail doesn't — pick Email Validation for direct browser calls.
