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.
Twilio SendGrid
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Twilio SendGrid is generally economical and thus can give better ROI compared to competitors and in a short period of time. Twilio SendGrid can be used for mass email campaigns and thus any marketer would prefer that for mass email marketing compared to say Outreach because …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Twilio SendGrid stacks up well to its direct competiros like Mailgun and BigMailer, but it doesnt stack up again more complex marketing automation tools like HubSpot and ActiveCampaign. That is understandable as it doesnt seem to be the purpose of the platform, but it is worth …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Brevo was cheaper and doesn't support the spam testing but in my experience their support was much , much better.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
I have been using Sendgrid for a while now, and the main reason to select it in the first place was because of the data analytics it offered and data security. Its high deliverability and rates and the pricing offered for our requirement suited our budget; hence, we chose it …

SendGrid has added features and allows to add unique unsubscribe links.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Sendgrid has a lot of features that other providers have and a few more - like the dynamic template builder, which AWS SES doesn't have. We choose the provider based on the scenario of use and the provider we're using. If we're going to be making regular changes to a template, …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Originally our engineering team selected SendGrid because it was a well-known brand and highly regarded as the leader in email deliverability services. My executive team at the time was familiar with the brand as well, and had worked with key stakeholders at SendGrid prior to …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
We here it is good but has this huge issue with customer service. We wanted to go with SendGrid because it was recommended, but we have had three months of grief.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
I use both. SendGrid as I stated before I use in a very simple manner - just as an email server basically- because the
email list I’m using is originates through ClickFunnels. They have enough reporting for me. Although I could definitely use click tracking so I may implement …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Twilio SendGrid stacks up against sharpspring and adobe advertising cloud because it resolves sending emails in a easy way with a low cost and a lot free quotas. So if you need to only integrates a list register, a easy newsletter send or even a smtp integration, Twilio …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Twilio SendGrid is a great all around email marketing solution. It does everything that Mailchimp can do but offers a whole host of other features a professional marketeer would require. Mailchimp does not support email campaigns that promote gambling products.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
MailGun answers support tickets inside of 24 hours and has as good as or better deliverability, and their team is knowledgeable and responsive.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
We also have Kartra, which is not in your list. Seriously, if I’m running the campaign, it’s SendGrid. I’m not a tech guy, but I can use it and can even design something and get the HTML code out if I need to.
My biggest gripe is that it’s so hard to move data across platforms, …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
I use this software along with Sendwithus too. Both the software I use for different sets of people.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
We prefer Twilio SendGrid as a solution, simpler installation, very low failure rate (less than 1%) Our goal is a 1 step solution that we never have to go back to, that way the client is only billed once and their ROI remains high.
Chose Twilio SendGrid
We selected SendGrid for the flexibility it offered us where we could set up APIs from our own database and CDP to trigger one-to-one messages, automate campaigns, personalize comms and save money over other systems that require you to host your data in their systems and charge …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
We considered using Mailchimp from the beginning but we weren't in a place where we needed everything Mailchimp had to offer and we needed a simpler solution that was easy to implement and use. SendGrid served us well as a bigger stage company with limited funds and needs but …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Some of the other platforms we have used in the past appeared to be cheaper up front, but in the long run... they were a lot more costly than Twilio SendGrid. Some of the other email marketing tools did not offer drag and drop features that make building an email campaign easy …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
The only other transactional email program I've used inside of Dinely was Mailgun. Mailgun is great with deliverability and relatively cost effective as well. The only issue is it's not able to be rapidly implemented. If we wanted to design up transactional emails that wow our …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
Before using SendGrid we used MailChimp and were very limited with segmenting our users. Then we moved to ActiveCampaign and paid a ton of money for sending a few promotional emails per month. Then we got SendGrid - letting us rid both of ActiveCampaign and Mailgun and having …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
All of the aforementioned competing services don't have a transactional email component along with their email marketing campaign services. Also, SendGrid is the most economical value of the 4, while 2nd place goes to MailChimp with regard to pricing. I liked SendGrid out of …
Chose Twilio SendGrid
If I consider the the easiness in functionality of Email Editor in SendGrid Marketing Email software, it matches my expectations. I don't need to train my colleagues for the usage of this software. In my absence also anyone can create email campaigns and send it very easily. So …

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.

I think Sendgrid is a great tool for sending out emails of all types. I've primarily used it for transactional emails as we've had other solutions for marketing emails, but I'm sure it would do just a good job - there is a "Marketing" section within the app you can use. Sendgrid integrates really easily with the development frameworks I've used, such as Laravel and Lumen; I've also integrated it with Moodle with ease.

  • Drag and drop email designer for transactional emails - super nice even though I do code, it's much quicker and easier to implement without code.
  • Very simple implementation. Only a few lines of code need to be added in our backend and boom we were up and running in less than a day.
  • Listening to customer feedback. They regularly send emails about new features and ask for feedback to improve their software.
  • Some of the cheapest and best dedicated IPs.
  • Easy integration and setup between marketing and transactional emails. Super helpful to have everything in one place.

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)

  • Actually viewing previous emails dispatched. SendGrid does not have this feature - although it provides numbers on emails dispatched within 3 days for the cheapest plan.
  • The service asks you to pay more (although a minimal amount) to have visibility on email activity upto 30 days in the past.
  • The API doesn't allow an export of a report of email activity over a period of time. It can be quite frustrating at times to be limited in this way.
  • Their customer support isn't the best. Certainly some room for improvement there.

Usability
Super easy to use.
Read full review
It has the potential to be really cool. However, it feels as if it was created by developers for developers (and I work with developers, yet even for me the instrument was somewhat not easy to use - just read SendGrid's help manuals...) However, if you are into data and your way of thinking is more mathematical rather than lyrical, you'll enjoy this instrument

Twilio SendGrid Email API is everything we want it to be, and we have no reason to look for any other solution. Features and pricing match exactly what we need. As developers for SaaS products, Twilio SendGrid Email API provides a great service. I hope that they stay this way and don't inflate the service with too many marketing oriented features, because there are other tools for that and Twilio SendGrid Email API is a API for sending email first and foremost.

Twilio SendGrid is generally economical and thus can give better ROI compared to competitors and in a short period of time. Twilio SendGrid can be used for mass email campaigns and thus any marketer would prefer that for mass email marketing compared to say Outreach because Outreach is more of a sales tool and suitable for sending lesser emails.
