Email list validator vs. cleaner — what’s the difference?

Validator (this tool): Runs the checks (syntax, DNS/MX, optional SMTP, disposable, typos) and lets you download your original CSV with a new status column. Each address is marked “valid” or “invalid” so you can filter or manage the list however you prefer.

Cleaner: Uses the same checks as the validator, but when you download the CSV it’s already filtered—only valid email addresses are included. No extra sorting or formulas needed. Try our Email list cleaner.
