Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've used ZeroBounce for years to validate emails on our outreach lists. We were experiencing high bounce rates (~4% at times) and after we started using ZeroBounce our bounce rate hasn't even hit 1% - love how they score catchalls for us too.

Pros

Validate Emails
Score Catchall Emails
Flexible Billing Options

Cons

Price is higher than competitors
Catchall scoring is expensive and takes forever - it never used to take this long and Catchall scores were available in the first export

Return on Investment

Reduced Wasted Spend on Bad Email Address by +4%
Reduced need to purchase and warm up new sending accounts due to bad deliverability

Status of the contacts 95% correct ration
Every step has an option to guide you is great thing
Options to download validation result of individual status

How to use catch all status contacts

Return on Investment

Great tools in low investment for marketing
Always helping to find emails also

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zerobounce for email validation (including catchall IDs) before every email outreach campaign. One Major concern for us is the catch-all email, as it has a 50% deliverability ratio. We can't take a risk on it, so we went with Zerobounce validation, which will handle both kinds of validation and give us the results. We thought that catch-all results would be given after 24 hours. It works for us.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

A better pricing for Pay-as-you-go will help us a lot.
