Kickbox Reviews & Product Details

Kickbox helps me keep my sender reputation in good standing. Ever since Google tightened down on email security late last year, a lot of my messages started landing in spam and my deliverability tanked. After I cleaned my list and ran a warm-up sequence that only sent to deliverable contacts, things improved and felt much more stable overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback I've noticed is that SMTP verification can occasionally take longer with some domains, and there is a lack of detailed information when a request times out. Additionally, having more flexible pricing options for smaller verification batches would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the increase in unknown data to be problematic, especially during recent contact runs where this issue has become more noticeable. This seems to occur when data is categorized into deliverable, risky, undeliverable, and unknown buckets, and more pieces are falling into the unknown category. It specifically affected a recent email validation for Tennessee schools, resulting in a significant number of unknown records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A fair amount of email addresses are marked as 'risky' or 'unknown', which is not very actionable for us. Ideally, a smaller number of email addresses would come back with those statuses so we would feel more confident about whether they are safe to email or not.

I appreciate Kickbox for its simplicity and speed in setting up, which is crucial for our startup's rapid pace. The good developer experience (DX) it offers makes creating an API key and setting up the sandbox straightforward, with documentation that's easy to find. I also value the free credits provided as they allow us to experiment without financial commitment. The initial setup was impressively quick, taking less than 30 minutes. Additionally, Kickbox plays a vital role in verifying the emails of our leads, which helps us significantly decrease our bounce rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't realize that the sandbox environment in Kickbox always returns emails as deliverable. This behavior should be clearly documented to help users understand how the sandbox functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Kickbox is intuitive and easy to use. It provides multiple options to parse a list and pull in all the required details you need. I also appreciate that it doesn't just remove bad entries but gives you the option to keep what you want. For instance, even if an email address is potentially bad, we still want to keep the contact records in our database. I've used it before and found it as easy or easier than the last time. I am confident in recommending it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a better description or understanding of the filters. I'm unsure what makes an address 'risky' and what potential risks using such an address might pose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Kickbox incredibly easy to use, which is a huge plus for me. The process is straightforward; I just need to upload my email list, and within a few minutes, it's all processed. This saves me a considerable amount of time compared to manual checks or using more complicated systems. I also appreciate the transparent pricing structure. It's simple and clear, telling me exactly what to purchase based on the size of my list, which takes the guesswork out of budgeting. The integration with iContact is another feature I love, as it seamlessly fits into my existing workflow of sending emails. Moreover, the initial setup was a breeze, taking only a minute, and I could test everything out with 100 free email checks, which worked perfectly. It's rare to find a service that combines easy setup, efficiency, and clarity in pricing so well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy to use, had a clean user interface, and the chat was very responsive to questions I had. The integration with Hubspot was also soooo easy. I was able to handle everything in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to auto export into Hubspot the undeliverable emails, so I could take care of them in the system without having to upload them as a list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
