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.

Office 365 does use secure non-standard ports for SMTP connectivity causing a problem with older programs. SMTP Email Delivery from Exchange solves this problem by giving the network admin full control over ports and specific program connections. While we do use both Office …

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.

SMTP Email Relay Solutions is a great service if you are in a field where sending out bulk information, such as monthly statements to clients, invoices, or any back-to-back emails that would normally get flagged for "spam" is required.

Read full review
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)

  • As with any technology on a server, we sometimes see issues with downtime related to network changes or firewall updates.
  • It can be a challenge to work with some of our older applications when the TLS feature is used.
  • I wish there was a more direct way to reliably use SMTP for mass email sends without the fear of being blacklisted.

Office 365 does use secure non-standard ports for SMTP connectivity causing a problem with older programs. SMTP Email Delivery from Exchange solves this problem by giving the network admin full control over ports and specific program connections. While we do use both Office 365 and the SMTP Email Delivery we find that a mix is needed in order to meet all expectations for our end users. The majority of our SMTP communications, for users, go through Office 365 while the majority of our applications and servers do go through the SMTP Email Delivery service.

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
  • It's the easiest way to send mail out. No worries about complex configurations.
  • It can be finicky when used in a hybrid Office 365 environment to get the proper pathways secured and working.
  • I wish there were a better way to send out mass emails, on-site, without our domain or server IP being blacklisted.
