What Reacher is
Reacher is an open-source email verification API for checking deliverability, cleaning lists, and helping prevent bounces. Verification is available through its Dashboard or API. The `is_reachable` result labels addresses as safe, invalid, risky, or unknown, while responses can include disposable and role-account flags, MX records, SMTP details, catch-all status, and syntax suggestions. Reacher can connect with services such as Mailchimp and HubSpot or synchronize with a CRM. Bulk verification is listed with the Commercial License, which also supports self-hosting on servers purchased by the customer. That offer states that data is not sent back to Reacher. The project uses AGPL-3.0; proprietary applications require a Commercial License. A free plan and free trial are available. The SaaS 10K Emails Plan costs €69 a month for 10,000 monthly verifications. The Commercial License costs €699 a month for unlimited monthly verifications, bulk checks, and self-hosting.
