About

Temp Mail Detector is an email validation API that checks whether a domain belongs to a disposable or temporary email provider. The service accepts a domain name, analyzes signals such as block-list status, domain age, MX behavior, and email security characteristics, and returns a risk score for signup filtering.

The free plan includes 200 lookups per month, resets monthly, and does not require a credit card. The product also provides WordPress and Ghost plugins, plus API access for blocking disposable signups before account creation.

This free tier gives 200 lookups each month, and the paid rate is $0.005 per lookup, so the allowance is worth about $1/month. It resets monthly, has no card requirement, and is a capped free tier rather than an unlimited one, so it lands as a small but genuinely usable starter value.
