Best FREE/Paid email list cleaning solution
As topic says, i need to clean a database of emails that might have errors or the same email twice. It's kinda a large database and cannot be worked out manually by checking.
Any tool/platform that checks email typed correctly/removes dubs.. etc? Free one for example?

cat | sort | uniq
^ after that
You can use regex with a for loop maybe or a small python script to check if it's a correct address
Shove it all into a JS set and save it into a file. Or, regex and bash wizardry (@hzr's solution +1)
or "sort -u"
You can also use exim to test email addresses for deliverability, as the following commands showed:
Return code 0 is given only when all addresses succeed. The script below prints only deliverable email addresses (input data are one email address per line):
Personally for me cat list.txt | sort -u
We use combination on ZeroBounce and Debounce... nothing works 100% but still I Can say 85% accuracy is good to clean un-deliverable email IDs.
Implimented Debounce API to check email deliverablity on the fly on new sign up attempts, this helps keep keep off signups using un-deliverable email IDs clean.
Recently I took one great deal for Thechecker(dot)co from AppSumo. and the deal is still there. Worth to try!
I use this one https://clearout.io/. I also have used Debounce before, but they don't have a WP plugin so I'm not using it any more.
I guess they didn't have one, but do have now.

I just checked the pricing and debounce's is much more low end friendly
Thank you! That definitely helps.
