Large data-quality company. CASS/DPV certified address verification, plus property and identity data.

Coverage: US + global
Pricing transparency: Partly published (credits and subscriptions)
Free tier / trial: Up to 1,000 credits per month after a one-time $4.97 KYC/AML verification fee
Entry price: "Small Business" credits from $40 for 10,000 credits; $350 for 100,000; $3,200 tier
Cost per 1,000: Melissa's FAQ says a US address costs 3 credits, which works out to roughly $12 per 1,000 at $40 and about $10.50 per 1,000 at $350 (our arithmetic)
International: A global address costs 10 credits per the FAQ, so roughly $40 per 1,000 at the entry tier (our arithmetic)

Things to know

Credit math is the confusing part: the FAQ says 3 credits per US address and 10 per global address, while the Small Business tile on the pricing page shows "10 Credits Per Address". Confirm with Melissa before budgeting.
