Scrubby
Put your email list to work
What is Scrubby
Scrubby validates email addresses that standard verification tools flag as risky or catch-all by actually sending test emails to confirm deliverability — not just checking syntax or DNS records. It's built for SDRs, BDRs, RevOps teams, and lead generation agencies at SMBs and mid-market companies who are losing usable contacts to overly cautious list cleaning. The standout capability is its ability to reclaim up to 60% of an email list that other tools would discard, turning uncertain addresses into confirmed sends. It connects with tools like HubSpot, Clay, Apollo, ZeroBounce, and Smartlead.ai, and exposes an API for teams that want to embed validation into their own workflows. That said, Scrubby is a complement to existing verification tools, not a full replacement — teams without a primary validator already in place will need to pair it with one.

Vanderbuild take
For SDR/BDR teams and agencies that live and die by deliverability, Scrubby fills a specific gap: it goes after the catch-all and risky addresses that ZeroBounce or NeverBounce leave on the table, using live email tests rather than passive record lookups. On the agentic side, the REST API is available and clean enough that you can wrap it into your own MCP layer or drop it into a Clay or n8n workflow without much friction — MCP-native status is unconfirmed, but Capable is the right read here. Pricing starts at $47/month for 6,000 credits, which is affordable for small teams, though credit consumption can climb fast if you're running large list refreshes regularly. The honest limitation: this is a specialist tool, not a standalone solution — you still need a primary email verifier in your stack, and Scrubby works best as the second pass, not the first.
