Stop paying for dead mailboxes. Intercept bounces before they touch your reputation.
Legacy verifiers like ZeroBounce and NeverBounce charge hundreds per month for disconnected third-party APIs. SadaSend validates recipients in-flight in sub-15ms before queue insertion—with a 100% Zero-Debit Guarantee on blocked emails.
Validated in-memory before queue entry
$0.00 debited for blocked bad addresses
Real-time disposable domain detection
Bulk CSV list cleaner in your dashboard
Interactive Pre-Send Deliverability Simulator
Test how our in-flight shield evaluates addresses before SMTP transmission.
Blocked at API gateway in 9ms. Typo identified: did you mean gmail.com? Send credit returned: $0.00 debited.
SendGrid & Resend: Dispatched blindly. Returned 550 Host Not Found Hard Bounce. Penalized sender score.
Paying Double for Two Disconnected Services
To prevent bounces, developers are told to buy a subscription to ZeroBounce or NeverBounce, integrate their REST API, and call it before every email send.
- High Monthly Bills: NeverBounce charges $80 for 10k checks ($400 for 100k) on top of your email provider.
- 400ms+ API Latency: Every outgoing email is delayed by an external HTTP roundtrip before transmission.
- Blind ESP Dispatches: Traditional ESPs (SendGrid, Resend) bill you for dead emails and penalize your domain when bounces occur.
In-Flight Edge Defense & Zero-Debit Guarantee
Email verification is engineered directly into our transactional sending pipeline. Pass verifyBeforeSend: true and let our gateway guard your sender score.
- Sub-15ms In-Flight Checks: Verified in memory against live DNS MX and 60,000+ burner domains before queue insertion.
- 100% Zero-Debit Guarantee: If an email is blocked by the shield, your send quota is debited $0.00.
- Up to 60% Lower Cost: Non-expiring verification credit packs ($19 for 5k, $79 for 25k, $249 for 100k) with free allowances in every plan.

import { SadaSend } from 'sadasend';
const sadasend = new SadaSend({
apiKey: process.env.SADASEND_API_KEY,
});
// Pass verifyBeforeSend: true to activate in-flight Pre-Send Bounce Defense
const { data, error } = await sadasend.emails.send({
from: 'Acme <notifications@yourdomain.com>',
to: 'customer@example.com',
subject: 'Your Order #1042 has shipped',
html: '<p>Hi Customer, your package is on the way!</p>',
verifyBeforeSend: true, // Evaluated in sub-15ms before queue insertion
});
if (error) {
if (error.code === 'recipient_undeliverable') {
// Intercepted by Pre-Send Shield!
// Zero-Debit Guarantee: $0.00 debited from send quota.
console.warn('Blocked dead address before send:', error.message);
}
} else {
console.log('Dispatched successfully. Message ID:', data.id);
