Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“The most consistently reliable tier (per multiple 2026 benchmarks) is NeverBounce, ZeroBounce, Hunter, and Bouncer” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Email verification · negative prompt · first choice
“NeverBounce and ZeroBounce are the most recommended for their accuracy, ease of use, and feature sets.” Mistral Small · Email verification · direct prompt · first choice
“If accuracy and advanced features are your priority: ZeroBounce or NeverBounce.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Email verification · comparative prompt · first choice
“"NeverBounce leads on pure verification accuracy (98-99%)."” Muse Glimmer 30B · Email verification · comparative prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“After being acquired by ZoomInfo, NeverBounce has faced significant backlash... Price Hikes... Expiring Credits” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Email verification · negative prompt · hard negative
“Some tools specialize in only one aspect of data quality, such as email verification (e.g., NeverBounce)... Relying solely on such tools can leave other critical data issues unaddressed” Mistral Small · CRM data quality · negative prompt · soft negative
“NeverBounce and ZeroBounce - While popular, tests show they can produce different results for the same emails” Kimi K2 · Email deliverability · negative prompt · soft negative
“Premium services like NeverBounce will often expire your purchased credits after a set timeframe” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Email verification · budget prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named NeverBounce. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 144 of the 161 answers that named NeverBounce and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page neverbounce.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as NeverBounce

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when NeverBounce's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as NeverBounce, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for NeverBounce by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where NeverBounce is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name NeverBounce, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
