ZeroBounce provides 99.6% guaranteed accuracy
ZeroBounce is one of the most accurate, in-depth email verification tools available. It can identify virtually every email type and provide the data you need to make educated decisions regarding each email contact.
Whenever you upload your email list for cleaning, you can expect 99.6% accurate results. If the service fails to deliver on its promise, you're fully entitled to a full refund of your money and credits. ZeroBounce support will also work closely with you to determine what's causing errors when validating your email list.
ZeroBounce provides fewer unknown results than competitors
Many email verification services report high levels of accuracy. However, what's not stated is that those services tend to deliver higher levels of "unknown" results. The email verification tool can technically be called accurate as long as the email verification tool does not inaccurately label an email address.
However, "unknown" results leave you with no more information than you started with. If the email verification service cannot determine certain email address types or struggles to process certain domains, you won't be able to clean your email list accurately.

ZeroBounce identifies spam traps and abuse emails
As seen above, ZeroBounce is one of the only email verification services that promises to identify spam traps and abuse email addresses accurately. Most other services don't attempt to identify these or can't do so.
You can enhance contact records with additional data
In addition to detecting the email address type, ZeroBounce can provide supplemental details about the address when available, including:
- Account owner's name
- Domain age
- SMTP provider
- MX record information
- Free email domain detection
All of this data is included for free with your email verification. However, you can also append Activity Data to your email verification results. This report tells you how active each email contact is based on actions taken in the last 30-180 days.
Finally, you can upload your list of clean email contacts for scoring. Email scoring uses artificial intelligence to provide a quality score for each contact on your email list so that you know which contacts are predicted to demonstrate the highest levels of engagement.
You can improve your campaigns with email deliverability tools
Cleaning your email list with email verification is just the first step in email marketing. ZeroBounce provides additional tools like mail server and inbox placement testing to help you maximize your email deliverability.
ZeroBounce provides domain and reputation monitoring
Finally, ZeroBounce provides email domain and reputation monitoring tools, such as blacklist and DMARC monitoring.
Other email verification services only provide the base tool. ZeroBounce provides these additional security tools to protect your email marketing from spammers, spoofers, and other bad actors.
