Clearout vs. ZeroBounce

This is the only email cleaning program that we use. This is mandatory if you are doing large amounts of emailing two new cold prospects. We have an extremely low balance rate from our emailing system. Clear out is our go-to program to do this and, without question, saves our email URLs for a longer period of time.

ZeroBounce is ideal for maintaining and improving your email deliverability. It's great for accurately processing large lists that contain many domains (not just the big box ISPs) and rooting out complainers. These results have the potential to reduce bounces before they happen, and keep your domain/IP reputation in good standing. ZeroBounce while exceeding expectations in email list cleaning, I would not recommend purchasing an email list, running it through their system and expect to be inboxing right out of the gate. Your deliverability is only as good as your list quality no matter how "clean" you think your list is.

• Bulk List validation up to 25 IDs per action is useful in some situations, as we don't want to create a CSV file every time, and for this smaller number.
• We sometimes use the email Finder option when we can't find an email for a person on any other platform.

• Sometimes have errors with certain inboxes
• Learning curve with new software
• Can be hard to set up with organization-locked inboxes

• Navigating among bulk validation, CSV upload, and single-ID validation is hard, and sometimes finding them or switching between them can be made more user-friendly.
• Results: After bulk validation, we receive the results in a Zip file, which is useful sometimes but not every time, as we have to un-zip, and there will be a different CSV file for each result. The final results can be made simple, like email ID in column A, results (valid or Invalid) in column B.

ZeroBounce is very simple to use. The interface is very user friendly. We didn't have to undergo any training or watch any instructional videos when we first logged in. There are little pop ups to highlight different features and explain certain things, but overall it's just upload a .csv and wait for the results. It then combines the results into one clean PDF breakdown, but it also gives more in-depth feedback through separate Excel sheets.

We have used ZeroBounce for about 18 months and it works flawlessly. We are able to get all of our questions/issues answered immediately. Felt very comfortable with the product immediately - used their web site which walked us through it and were able to get up and running within minutes. I really haven't had any issues that required support.

We have used two companies: Bulk Checker Email and Validity.com. We stopped using Validity.com because it became too expensive for what it offers. Bulk Checker Email is very slow and often experiences accuracy issues and frequent outages, especially with some mailbox providers such as Hotmail. However bulk checker email have blacklist that I'm talking about in previous question.
