Rate Limits & Quotas
BounceCheck limits usage by monthly quota, not by requests-per-second. There is no per-second throttle on the authenticated API.
Monthly plan quotas
| Plan | Verifications / month |
|---|---|
| FREE | 50 |
| STARTER | 5,000 |
| PRO | 20,000 |
Each single verify, disposable check, or bulk-processed address consumes one unit. A bulk upload is rejected up front if its size exceeds your remaining quota.
When the quota is reached
The API returns HTTP 429 with a detail message. Upgrade your plan or wait for the monthly reset. FREE plans reset automatically each month.
Public (unauthenticated) endpoints
The landing-page tools are limited per IP per day and protected by reCAPTCHA:
| Endpoint | Limit |
|---|---|
POST /verification/public/verify |
20 / day / IP |
POST /verification/disposable-check/public |
10 / day / IP |
For anything beyond that, create a free account and use an API key.
