How It Works

Three steps to a
verified lead list.

No contracts. No monthly fees. Upload, scrub, download.

Upload your CSV

Drag and drop a file with up to 10,000 phone numbers. Client-side validation catches format issues instantly.

We scrub the list

Every number gets carrier-level line type detection and a check against a court-sourced TCPA litigator database, in parallel. You choose what comes out: the full scrub removes litigators, landlines, VoIP and disconnected numbers, and litigators only removes known litigators and keeps every other row.

Competitor details are from each vendor's public pricing and product pages, checked 2026-09-18. ActiveProspect's 5,000-number figure is an estimate from its published per-lead and add-on rates. BriteVerify is now sold by Validity, which publishes no price for it. NumberBroom does not check the Do Not Call Registry; DNC.com and TCPA Litigator List do, under your own SAN. Vendors change prices without notice. See the full pricing breakdown, browse every comparison, or read: DNC.com, TCPA Litigator List, Blacklist Alliance.

The real comparison is total cost of ownership. A team scrubbing 500 numbers a month pays $100 with NumberBroom, and $0 the months they don't dial. TCPA Litigator List floors at $199/month whether you scrub or not. Above roughly 1,000 numbers every month, a subscription's per-unit cost can beat ours; below that, or in any slow month, per-job wins.

Per-row price by volume band
RowsScrubScrub + Grade
Example: scrub 5,000 rows for $880 (rows past 2,000 are $0.16), or grade them for $2,420 ($0.55, then $0.44 past 2,000). Add Business Line Lookup for +$3,500 ($0.70 per contact). Each step is a separate Stripe payment. Pay only for what you use.

Need it in code instead of a CSV? The developer API runs $0.20 a lookup per call, the first band's rate, with no volume bands. The MCP server puts the same lookup inside Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client, so an agent can check a number before it dials.

The annual math

A team scrubbing 500 leads a month pays $1,200/year with NumberBroom, and nothing in a month they don't dial. TCPA Litigator List's cheapest plan is $199/month whether you scrub or not -- $2,388/year, minimum. Past roughly 1,000 numbers every month, a subscription can undercut us on unit cost alone; below that, you pay for exactly what you use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about phone list scrubbing, TCPA compliance, and how NumberBroom works.

What is a TCPA litigator?
A TCPA litigator is a person who has filed or is known to file lawsuits under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). These serial litigators intentionally keep their numbers active on marketing lists to receive unsolicited calls or texts, then sue businesses for $500 to $1,500 per violation. NumberBroom checks every number against a regularly updated TCPA litigator database and flags known litigators before you ever dial. See how a batch litigator scrub works, or read the full definition of a TCPA litigator.
How do I clean a phone list for cold calling?
To clean a phone list for cold calling, you need to: (1) validate each number at the carrier level to confirm it is active and identify the line type (mobile, landline, or VoIP), (2) remove landlines and VoIP numbers that cannot receive texts or are unlikely to convert, and (3) run every remaining number through a TCPA litigator database and remove known serial litigators. NumberBroom does all three in a single list upload with results in minutes, and it reads numbers in any common format, so there is nothing to reformat first. Our full guide to phone number scrubbing covers each check in detail.
How much does it cost to scrub a phone list?
NumberBroom charges $0.20 per phone number, with a $5 minimum on small lists and no monthly subscription. A 5,000-number list costs $880, with rows past 2,000 priced at $0.16. This includes both carrier-level phone validation (line type, carrier name) and TCPA litigator checking in a single job. DNC.com publishes no set price, ActiveProspect charges per lookup with a $10 monthly minimum, and TCPA Litigator List plans start at $199/month for litigator and Do Not Call scrubbing without line type or carrier data. NumberBroom does not check the Do Not Call Registry.
Do I need to scrub my list for TCPA compliance?
Yes. Under the TCPA, businesses that make unsolicited calls or texts to consumers can face fines of $500 to $1,500 per violation. Serial TCPA litigators actively seek out these calls to file lawsuits. Scrubbing your list against a TCPA litigator database removes known litigators before you dial, significantly reducing your legal exposure. NumberBroom bundles TCPA litigator checking with phone validation so you get both protections in one step.
What is E.164 phone number format?
E.164 is the international phone number format standard defined by the ITU. It includes a plus sign (+), the country code (e.g., 1 for US/Canada), and the subscriber number with no spaces, dashes, or parentheses. Example: +15551234567. Most dialers, CRMs, and SMS platforms require E.164 format. NumberBroom converts every uploaded number to E.164 internally, because that is how the carrier lookup is keyed. The file you download keeps each number exactly as you uploaded it.
What is phone number validation?
Phone number validation is the process of checking whether a phone number is active, identifying its carrier, and determining the line type (mobile, landline, or VoIP). This is done by querying carrier-level databases in real time. Validation helps businesses avoid wasting time and money dialing disconnected numbers, landlines, or VoIP numbers that will not convert. If you are filtering a list down to mobiles only, see cell phone list scrubbing.
How is NumberBroom different from DNC.com?
NumberBroom is a pay-as-you-go phone scrubbing tool built for SMB outbound sales teams, while DNC.com, now part of Sonera, is a month-to-month subscription service. NumberBroom charges $0.20 per number with no monthly fee, where DNC.com publishes no price. Both run a TCPA litigator check alongside line-type screening in one batch, but DNC.com also scrubs the Do Not Call Registry, which NumberBroom does not. NumberBroom includes a free 20-row preview with no credit card required.
How is NumberBroom different from BriteVerify?
BriteVerify, now sold by Validity, is primarily an email verification tool. Its phone check confirms line type but returns no carrier, it offers no TCPA litigator check, and Validity publishes no price for it. NumberBroom charges $0.20 per number, with a $5 minimum on small lists, for carrier-level validation and a TCPA litigator check in one list upload.
What is the best tool to clean a phone list before cold calling?
The best phone list cleaning tools run two checks: carrier-level phone validation (to confirm the number is a real, active mobile number) and a TCPA litigator check (to flag known serial lawsuit filers). NumberBroom bundles both checks in a single list upload job at $0.20 per number, with a $5 minimum, and no subscription. You upload your list, see the exact cost, pay via Stripe, and download your clean file in minutes. DNC.com publishes no set price, and BriteVerify's phone check has no carrier data and no litigator check.
How do I remove invalid phone numbers from my CSV?
Upload your CSV to a phone validation service that supports bulk processing. The tool will normalize all numbers to E.164 format (+1XXXXXXXXXX), identify each number as mobile, landline, or VoIP, and flag numbers that cannot be parsed or are disconnected. NumberBroom does this automatically using carrier-level lookups. Invalid numbers, landlines, and VoIP numbers are filtered out, and you download a clean CSV containing only verified mobile numbers with carrier name and line type appended.
