Considered Both Products
Bouncer
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer got better bounce rates. I also tried Dropcontact alone, but the bounce rates were above 5%. Bouncer helped me to lower my bounce rates between 2-5%, which is excellent. The pricing is good and it has a Woodpecker integration, which is another tool I use. It makes my …
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer is easier to navigate, and it gives result quickly. Unlike with other tools that I've tried, it takes some time to return the result and comparing it Bouncer seems to give a more accurate result. So far, I haven't encountered any issues with Bouncer unlike with other …
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer is narrowly tailored, easy to work with. It offers you to get a free trial to try the tool and understand whether it's something you're searching for. They have a really comfortable, affordable and attractive pricing model that allows everyone to experience email …
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer uses a different methodology and the result are far superior. ZeroBounce is a big name in the business and the results were terrible.
Chose Bouncer
From what I remember they didn't have a bulk email option. If they did I probably didn't notice because bouncer was a lot easier to figure out and use.
Chose Bouncer
I cannot remember when I have benchmarked exactly what was standing out, but I made my opinion thanks to blogs and advices. Then the free trial helped to confirm it was perfect for me
Pricing is good to have a good ROI
Chose Bouncer
Both products offer more or less the same features. Zero Bounce is a bit more extensive when it comes to the level of details provided for each validation. Bouncer is more focused on simpler result categorization. When it comes to the response times, availability and accuracy, …
Chose Bouncer
Neverbounce is good - but the reason I chose bouncer was because of its native integration with Lemlist.
Chose Bouncer
Best combination of accuracy and affordability. there are always cheaper tools on the market, but unless they execute the task you need to do effectively, then you don't have an efficient workflow. Bouncer is the most accurate email verification tool we have used.
Chose Bouncer
Even though Apollo states their leads are valid, however only with Bouncer we were able to check the validity of an email
Chose Bouncer
Clearout is very expensive than bouncer and doesn't provided appropriate results as bouncer. So that's why I chose bouncer over Clearout. And bouncer has smooth dashboard and I had a great experience using bouncer than clearout. so I have nothing more to say just go for it. …
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer validates and cleans email lists more accurately than other tools. It has a lower false, positive rate, can identify hard bounces, and provides detailed reports on email validation results, making it a more reliable and effective tool for maintaining a clean email list.
Chose Bouncer
We tried Hunter.io tool. Bouncer is above Hunter.io. The main advantage using Bouncer is the price for every mail check. It's the best price on the market that no one can compete with.
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer is better in terms of accuracy and reporting. It's reasonable priced without binding the customer into long term contracts. I guess Bouncer is well positioned to maintain its position in the pecking order. The competition doesn't come close enough to be a threat, yet. …
Chose Bouncer
Bouncer was recommended to us. We did not evaluate others than looking at pricing on the competitor's Websites. Bouncer was the most economical, and does what we need
Chose Bouncer
I have never used any of the other products above, but after using Bouncer I have no plans to look elsewhere.
Constant Contact
Chose Constant Contact
Constant Contact destroys Microsoft 365 when it comes to mass emailing. Microsofts max email recipients is like twenty people at once. Constant Contact you can email thousands at a time WITH dynamic content. Meaning if some clients are in New York and some in New Jersey, you …
Chose Constant Contact
The ease of use and segmentation of Constant Contact makes it superior!
You can upload images easily and it is pretty easy to walk someone through how to design and email and upload an email list for sending.
Chose Constant Contact
1. Constant Contact provides features that were well suited for us being a mid-size organization.
2. Implementation of Constant Contact with Wordpress and WooCommerce was easy as compared to Brevo.
3. Peer-recommendations, brand reputation and research by our internal team also …
Chose Constant Contact
It's been a long time since I used MailChimp. I do remember being impressed the first time I used Constant Contact after having used MailChimp exclusively for a couple of years.
Chose Constant Contact
i have not used any other products that are similar to Constant Contact
Chose Constant Contact
Mailchimp is pretty comparable in a lot of ways to Constant Contact, but Constant Contact just continues to win when it comes to deliver-ability and user-interface. It's clean, simple, and intuitive.
There are other platforms like ActiveCampaign and Klaviyo that have some …
Chose Constant Contact
Constant Contact is quite intuitive making it easy to distribute the workload such as one person creates conntent, one migrates it to the template, one edits the content, and so on. However, it is easy for any one of us to do each others work.
Chose Constant Contact
We selected Constant Contact due to pricing constraints. However, if the pricing were to increase, we may look at alternative products that offer more features. We are looking for a product that will allow us to stand out from other organizations like ours that are appealing to …
Chose Constant Contact
Constant Contact allows a more in-depth look at our audience, what they like, etc.
Chose Constant Contact
I know what CC offers (but not sure if the others offer this or Retargetting - CC automatically retargets any of our customers with abandoned carts. We also set triggers on our promotional email system, and for follow-ups. This has been very helpful in targeting and retargeting …
Chose Constant Contact
They’re both pretty similar software, however mailchimp maybe more intuitive. I think they are similar in terms of deliverability at this point. Constant Contact might be more bang for the same buck.
Chose Constant Contact
Very similar in nature. I feel it's more just what works for your organization as to what solution you are more familiar with and the pricing structure that fits your needs. For most organizations with sales departments, I would recommend a email platform that is linked with …
Chose Constant Contact
In my view, If I were made aware of Constant Contact's lack of performance, I would have never created an account. I would rather use Wix, or even just social media! It would be more effective, user-friendly, and less costly or stressful, I believe.
Chose Constant Contact
it is the youngest sibling compared to the much more competent and capable older brother that is Marketo Engage. The reports, database management, and complete control of email designs, and interaction of recipients does not compare. Constant Contact is a great entry-level …
Chose Constant Contact
We use BEE Pro to create our emails; we like their email builder. However, when sending emails, Constant Contact is much better. They allow more emails to be sent out at once and let us store more contacts within the program. Constant Contact has greater flexibility and variety …
Chose Constant Contact
Constant Contact is much more intuitive for people who are not tech-savvy. Also, while SendGrid offered more options in it's drag and drop interface, it displayed differently across different email clients, which made it very cumbersome to use. It also took much longer to …
Chose Constant Contact
Overall, Constant Contact is the easiest to use with one of the lower price points. It is a great entry-level tool for a beginner in order to graduate into more sophisticated platforms. The design features are a good start along with the subject line testing which is helpful …
Chose Constant Contact
Constant contact was perfect for our needs for many clients, it wasn’t overly robust, but powerful enough to see strong ROI. With regards to the competitor tools, amongst standard ESP there’s not a huge difference as they all essentially work the same, it’s just about pricing …
Chose Constant Contact
Overall we chose Constant Contact over MailChimp because we felt the price was a better use of our non-profit funding. Reviews of MailChimp showed led us to believe that Constant Contact was easier to use and had better customer service. We've found that Constant Contact has …
Chose Constant Contact
Constant Contact does not have as good of a UI as other tools like Mailchimp or Emma, but the price for our list size was less.

Likelihood to Recommend
I have already recommended bouncer to a number of my colleagues, and I know of one that is already deploying it. Protecting your online reputation, staying off of UCE blacklists and the like are important to deliverability of your messages. Having a simple tool such as bouncer really helps achieve deliverability goals without deterring from your workflow to any degree.

Constant Contact is great when trying to target specific market segments. We typically like to segment our master list by region, but also have product segments, as well. They do provide pre-made segments to start you off too. We don't usually use their email builder, we find others to be more flexible, intuitive, and have more variety. We do prefer emailing from Constant Contact, however.

Cons
  • Maybe to add some filters for History checks (by date, period, reason, person's name in case it's a corporate account, domain of email (by writing it manually), etc.) and add a date of verification
  • In case it's a corporate account, to add name of the person who verifies an email/bulk
  • If an email has been previously checked, and now you want to check it again (e.g. a few days later), then to show the status of email BUT to mention that you've already checked this email earlier (maybe to show the date)

Because I love this kind of solution. Not a lot of different functionalities but really effective for why I'm using it. I need to make sure my email list and CRM are corrects and Bouncer is perfect for that!

There is no doubt that we are going to renew Constant Contact. We have not just invested a lot of time in learning and creating a great looking product but we have developed a strong database of information that allows us to track how we are doing for each newsletter. This supports our goals of creating products that residents desire and are excited to receive.

Usability
Super easy to use.
Read full review
There is always room for improvement. I don't know how they test their systems, but they should invite not-so computer savvy people to test it. If I, as an expert have problems, they need to think like the technophobe. Since I've used Constant Contact in the past as part of my former employment, I have not viewed any of the tutorials and just jumped in to work on my client's newsletter. With that said, I found some areas easy and some a bit cumbersome

The system seemed quite slow sometimes. Specifically, there was sometimes a delay in sends if it was during a high traffic period. There were time-outs when uploading new code for an email, and a lag in reporting analytics which was sometimes as long as 72 hours

I think the overall support for Constant Contact has always been incredible; I have nothing negative to say. Our customer support representative was attentive, easy to understand, and very knowledgeable. I never felt like I wasn't a priority of his and my issues, while very small, were fixed in a very short time frame.

Implementation Rating
Super simple and easy for us.

Implementation is very easy for someone who wants to send out the “batch and blast” type newsletters. If you want to use their templates with no customizations, the product works fine. However, the more customizations you get into involving link color, etc, that’s where things can get tricky for someone who may not be familiar with coding

We selected Constant Contact due to pricing constraints. However, if the pricing were to increase, we may look at alternative products that offer more features.

Very reliable in sending email campaigns and controlling the recipients so that no contact is sent the same email more than once, even if they are on a resent list

Return on Investment
  • ROI can't be defined for mail checking, but it definitely saves much time and effort, and probably money since it allows us to appear in mailbox of our leads.
Read full review
  • I can't report hard numbers, however, being able to execute sales and marketing campaigns led to a noticeable increase in brand awareness in our industry.
  • We were able to offer white-labeled email communication services to clients, which is not something that other administrators typically offer. This helped us win and retain business.
