1 / 4

Simple, Straightforward and Powerful

Pros

  • Very simple and clear user interface - straight to the point
  • I like the credit-based system, as opposed to a tiered subscription model, so I only pay for what I need. I might go for a few months without using it at all, and then have thousands of emails to verify.
  • I really like the range of 'built-in' email marketing platform integrations for 'real time' email validation, as well as an available API if integrating with a custom application or one not currently built in.

Cons

  • I honestly can't think of any shortcomings with Kickbox. It's very straightforward and does what it says.
  • It might be nice if you could customize the column labels when exporting, rather than only the Kickbox naming formats.

Most Important Features

  • The ability to clean any size list
  • The ability to purchase one-off credits as needed, instead of being stuck with a monthly subscription amount that may or may not get used
  • Super easy to use

Return on Investment

  • Email deliverability is crucial for our clients, and we often inherit a list from someone else, so having a simple, powerful tool to make sure we are starting a campaign with validated email addresses avoids instances of poor deliverability and spam complaints that would hurt our reputation if we didn't ensure the list health ourselves before sending.

Kickbox has a great interface and is a very user friendly. However, the list cleaning results can be improved.

Pros

  • Finding misspelled emails
  • Including domain name in Excel output that is produced
  • Easy to use software

Cons

  • Catching spam traps
  • Too many emails in "unknown" category when cleaning B2B emails
  • More accurate cleaning overall

Return on Investment

  • Our servers are in great reputation
