## BriteVerify Reviews
  ### 1. The Ultimate Email Cleaner!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Quinn G. | Inside Sales Representative, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

BriteVerify helps to identify email addresses' that are valid, invalid, and unknown. Filtering for only the valid emails, our deliverability rates for marketing emails has drastically increased. Creating lists of emails to market to, in the past we were far under expected delivery rates. After putting our lists through BriteVerify we were able to get to the 99% delivery threshold. This was huge for us because the only way we market is through email. Being able to grow our deliverability rates from under 90% up to 99% has increased our number of prospects and sales.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Somedays while uploading large lists, it can take multiple minutes if not longer to analyze and create the BriteVerified report.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Increasing our deliverability rates from under 90% to almost 100%.

**Official Response from Danielle Contin:**

> Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that BriteVerify has helped you increase your deliverability rates from under 90% to 99%. Knowing that our solution directly supports your email marketing success and drives more prospects and sales is exactly the kind of impact we aim for. We also appreciate your feedback about the time it takes to process larger lists. This type of input is very valuable for us as we continuously work to improve both speed and ease of use.
We’re glad BriteVerify is making such a measurable difference for your team, and we look forward to supporting your continued success.

  ### 2. A Perfect Email Verifier Application- Brite Verify

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2018

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

BriteVerify tool is a very easy to use software. It checks emails quickly and gives clear results like valid, invalid, or risky. I like that the accuracy is high and it helps reduce bounce rates. The dashboard of this tool is very simple, and uploading files is smooth.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Sometimes the credits get used fast, especially for big lists. Also, risky emails are not always 100% clear, so I still have to double-check. Integration options can be improved.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Just want more implementationa to be done like pricing and all.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use d BriteVerify software to clean and verify email lists before campaigns. It helps me remove fake or invalid emails, reduces bounce rate, and keeps my email domain reputation safe.

  ### 3. Inconsistent Processing and Poor Support

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2025

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

UPDATED: After a month of exchanging emails, BriteVerify acknowledged that they found the bug impacting our list verification. They allowed us to rerun our lists and we renewed our contract.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

My experience with BriteVerify has been frustrating and costly due to their system’s inconsistent verification process, lack of clear error messaging, and poor customer support.

Here’s what happened:

- Phone verification failed on some files but worked on others despite identical formatting.
- Instead of providing a clear explanation, support first blamed phone number formatting, then later claimed I had incorrectly selected checkboxes—ten times.
- I know for a fact that I selected the correct boxes, yet BriteVerify’s logs supposedly showed otherwise. This suggests either a logging error or a deeper issue with how their system processes selections.
- Their system verified email addresses even when email verification was explicitly unchecked, leading to unintended credit consumption.
- There were no error messages indicating a problem with phone number formatting—if the format was wrong, why did the verification silently fail instead of notifying the user?

To make matters worse, support provided contradictory explanations and failed to answer key questions about why verification was inconsistent across files. Then, closed the ticket without resolving the issue.

BriteVerify’s design raises serious concerns, especially for a consumption-based pricing model where users pay per verification. If selections can be processed incorrectly and credits consumed without clear validation or error messages, this is either a severe UX flaw or an exploitative design choice.

If you rely on accurate verification and transparent billing, I strongly recommend looking for an alternative solution.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Currently BriteVerify is creating more problems than solving any. Inconsistent results and lack of error messaging have caused wasted time and money.

**Official Response from Geoffrey  Palmer:**

> Thank you for your review. This feedback is vital to helping us provide the best technology and services to customers, and so appreciate your candor around where we fell short of your expectations. 

Thank you also for taking the time to work with our team to identify the root cause and deploy a fix, allowing us to provide an improved experience to your peers and future users.  

We look forward to continuing to work with you and your organization.

Kind regards,
Geoffrey

Simplicity. No matter how you are verifying your email list, web GUI, API, or integration partner, the process is very simple.

If I had to come up with something that I don't like... I would say having to pay... but that's not even an issue.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Use it! You will be amazed at the number of bad email addresses you have in your database.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a recruiting firm and email candidates regarding employment opportunities. Prior to Bright verify our successful delivery rate was about half what it is now. Our database of candidates is much more valuable since we now know we are able to contact our candidates.

  ### 10. Email Verification made easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christopher W. | Technical Product Owner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

I rarely say this, but there isn't anything that I dislike about BriteVerify. Everything works as expected, and I haven't heard any complaints about them.

BriteVerify helps us filter out leads with email addresses that are not contactable. This helps eliminated wasted time trying to convert a lead that will never even get your messages.

  ### 13. A simple and good tool to verify emails

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** João A. | Chief MarTech Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

I use it a lot to check up if our new contacts and leads are valid or not, for now we have it integrated with Marketo using the webhooks and Briteverify API returns the result

Nothing to dislike here, the tool its pretty simple and usefull

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checking if my new contacts / leads emails are valid or not

  ### 14. Easy to Use, Accurate Email Validation Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

  ### 15. Simple Straightforward Email Verification that most Marketers should have

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2021

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

The process and price are pretty simple and have lead to improved email marketing metrics for us.

There are some integration options but the CSV process is relatively quick.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Generally speaking, I don't see a tremendous difference in the various email verification vendors.

There are both cheaper and more expensive options available in the marketing but you somewhat get what you pay for in terms of support, back-end reporting, and added bells and whistles like integrations.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

If you are looking to improve on your data hygiene and email marketing metrics BriteVerify would be a good vendor to consider. 

As you have increasingly large databases the costs per email also fall.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Email deliverability, email opens, email clicks, and general database hygiene.

  ### 16. A solid tool for validating email addresses

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2022

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

- The API is highly functional
- Very good results
- Consistent

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

- Price is very high
- State and persistence needs to be managed by the customer
- Sporadic performance and latency issues

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- transactional email address validation

  ### 17. BriteVerify Email Address Validation Tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ✨Katherine W. | Senior Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

We use BriteVerify on a weekly basis! It is essential to our marketing workflow and data quality initiative. There are 4 validation statuses: valid, invalid, unknown, and accept all. It's really simple to use; just import an CVS file and wait for it to run.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Although I cannot compare it to other email validation tools (it's the only one that I've used). I have found that it cannot truly validate most of the emails with the green "valid" status. The majority of the emails fall under "accept all" which is unclear. You still run the risk of bounces if you use any emails with the "accept all" status.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Consider your workflow process with your CRM. Where are your leads coming from? Will BriteVerify work with those tools? Are you okay with importing and exporting CSV files?

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use BriteVerify to make sure that we don't import "invalid" emails to our CRM. This reduces bounces and keeps our deliverability rates high.

  ### 18. It works if you need email verification

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan H. | LEI, Hospital & Health Care, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

API is straightforward and easy to use. The document is pretty good as well. Its affordable. We are using the API; so you will need to integrate this with some other software or application.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

If our CSRs would enter email addresses correctly, we probably would not need the service, but they don't; so  we do.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Its email Auth - they offer an API - it seems to work. The API is fairly simple, so a bit of black-box as to how or what they are verifying.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it to verify the validity of manually typed in emails by our CSRs they often mis-type or mis-spell. It saves us from getting high bounce rates and possibly blacklisted from ESPs.

  ### 19. Bright Verify Makes My Life Easier

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

I love how simple the functionality of Bright Verify is.  All you have to do is load in a .csv file and it takes care of the rest. Bright Verify has often helped me keep my email lists current. During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of my contacts have been laid off and are no longer working at the business I have their information for. Bright Verify has helped me clean up my contact lists so I am not sending emails to contacts that are no longer at their company.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Honestly, the only downside to Bright Verify is that it's not free.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Take the time to create your lists properly before submitting to Bright Verify so everything is labeled and organized once Bright Verify is done doing its thing.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Without Bright Verify, I would be sending multiple eblasts to unattended email addresses due to COIVD. Bright Verify helps me keep my list's current.

  ### 20. My go-to solution for email verifications

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael W. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

The pricing level is good and it's easy and quick to use. Sure there are many other similar services but we have found this one seems to do the best job for our clients.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

I don't really have anything negative to say. A small thing would be if I could get the invoice automatically emailed to me rather than having to log back in to download it, but it's no big deal.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Most of of our clients don't have large databases to market to so they tend to buy cold email lists to market to. Some of our list vendors allow us to buy Valid's only, but most will send you both Valids, Accepts-All and Unknowns and unless you are using an ESP that allows purchased lists you can get your campaign stopped or even have your account shut down. This reduces the chance of that happening and improves the delivery rate.

  ### 21. Verify your emails quickly and efficiently

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Victor A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

In addition to being very easy to use, BriteVerify is quick and efficient. Accurate and the pricing is based on the amount of emails you need to verify which makes it reasonably priced.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

So far, we haven't found anything we dislike at all.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

If you're looking for a quick and efficient way to verify your email lists and database, BriteVerify is a great solution.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're maintaining a good sender reputation by making sure we only send emails to valid emails. BriteVerify allows us to be sure the emails in our database are valid so that we don't send emails that will be read as Spam and deteriorate our sender reputation.

  ### 22. Read the fine print on your contract

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

The BriteVerify API integration is simple and reliable.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Read/review every line of the contract details!  Watch out for their sales/renewal team.  We went through a deep analysis and projection to arrive at an annual utilization number.  That number was used for pricing but then the sales team member swapped the terms of the contract to 6 months and I missed it.  So, I'm now paying for 12 months projected utilization over a 6-month calendar period.  To top it off, they require 60-day cancellation notice and do not allow rollover of any unused credits.  I'll definitely be looking to replace due to business practices alone.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Read every line of the contract and pay attention to if the utilization terms match the contract terms.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need to ensure that valid emails are used with all of our candidates.

**Official Response from Jennifer Riley:**

> Hello, My name is Jennifer Riley and I manage customer marketing at Validity.   I would like to help sort out what you posted in your G2 review about your renewal of BriteVerify.  Can you please reach out to me so I can look into it?  We usually never offer a 6-month contract so want to figure out what happened. My email is jennifer.riley@validity.com.  Thank you Jennifer 

  ### 23. Solid Product, Terrible Service, Management and Sneaky Billing Practices

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

Product overall is one of the better email validation services. Overpriced a bit compared to where the market is going but they are focused on enterprise customers it seems.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Terrible client management. Service got shut off with no warning after I ran out on credits. Previously as my credits got low I got an email warning and a followup by a rep. Nothing this time and it negatively affected my business and email reputation during the down time. All this happened once they were bought buy Validity. After shutting me off with no warning, they sent over a renewal agreement of a prepaid credits purchase as they have done multiple times previously BUT this time they put in some auto renewal contract clause that was not disclosed to myself.  Be very careful signing any agreement with this company and be sure to look for hidden auto renewal clauses in terms and conditions links.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reduce bounce complaints on new signups to our sites.

**Official Response from Jennifer Riley:**

> Hello, My name is Jennifer Riley and I manage customer marketing at Validity. I would like to help sort out what you posted in your G2 review about your renewal of BriteVerify. Can you please reach out to me so I can look into it? Regards, Jennifer  - jennifer.riley@validity.com 

  ### 24. BriteVerify is my go-to email hack

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

I've used BriteVerify for four years now and have always liked the ease of use within the UI. It is easy to explain email deliverability feasibility to my team and my stakeholders using the tool.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

The tool always errors out when there are extra fields in the csv even if they do not have data in them.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

This tool is a must use for anyone running email programs or sales campaigns at a mass scale.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BriteVerify helps our team identify who is engaged and unengaged from our email and call lists. It helps us make sure we are emailing valid addresses and staying SPAM compliant.

  ### 25. Briteverify review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

Were able to quickly scrub email addresses against an API with solid uptime

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Wish there was better automated tracking around how many API hits we're using. We had an issue where we were accidentally hitting the API an order of magnitude more times than intended. But BV was very helpful when we reached out to billing about correcting that mistake.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We run an email remarketing platform and use BV as an initial scrub against bad emails. Doing so saves us a massive amount of time downstream

  ### 26. Great service to help our customers get correct emails

**Reviewed by:** Sebastian S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

Good and stable API, satysfing results for online email check

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

There are no major downsides that I see.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Very easy to use and affordable. Works well.

Incremental billing when you submit a small list

  ### 30. It's a very simple to implement, and very accurate service. Helped us to clena up trash emails

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

it's simplicity. The service is really easy to implement an very fast to respond

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Almost nothing. The service is very simple

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Until BriteVerify, we had lots of trash emails posted to our CRM from our websites. The benefit was to have a cleaner leads database.

  ### 31. It's good, but it could be better.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2020

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

It was easy for our tech team to install. It works well and does the job that it should, with a couple of nuances.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

The few people that we have had to talk to never seemed to have answers. We were set up on calls that didn't apply to our model. I also don't like that it will re-verify an email address. This is fine if it hasn't been verified recently, but it will verify multiple times in short periods of time, causing increased charges.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

It does what it should do, which is helping from receiving fake email addresses and helps to correct misspelled email addresses.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have seen our email bounce rate go down because we are accepting less bad email addresses. This is important in order to not have to spend additional money emailing people that will never receive the email and allows users to correct an email address if they accidentally mistyped it.

  ### 33. Identify the Number of Real Customers

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mercy M. | Assistant Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

Tools like BriteVerify are really amazing and kind of necessary for all business owners. This is because it is quite important to get to know the number of invalid email addresses on your email lists. BriteVerify will tell you whether an email is valid or not by checking it up with the mail server. It gives an avenue to identify our real your users are, at least you can get to know how many real users you have. I also like it since I do not have to go through any stress to be able to use. Lastly, BriteVerify support is absolutely amazing. I found them very helpful.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Nothing much can be said about my dislikes for it though. This is because I have not identified any yet.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

BriteVerify is a reliable email verification software that you do not want to miss.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With BriteVerify, we have been able to detect our real customers and getting contents to them by filtering out fake customers with invalid emails. 

  ### 34. Simple, inexpensive email verification tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Harriet S. | Managing Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

The quality of my clients' mailing lists are very important to me. High bounce rates affect their sender reputations. BriteVerify is a great investment towards cleaning a database. It's simple to use and understand and with a cost of 1 penny per record, there's no reason ALL lists shouldn't be run through this service prior to an email campaign.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Most times I have to re-save my Excel files as a CSV for import. It just takes a bit more time but it would be nice to be able to use either.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reducing bounce rates. Increasing delivery rates. Building better and cleaner databases for clients.

  ### 35. Simple, inexpensive tool for email verification

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul L. | Creative Director | Digital Marketing Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

The interface is clean and easy to use
The results are detailed enough for use to make clear decisions about what to do with the email address
Briteverify keeps our delivery rate over 90%

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

The billing for briteverify can be wonky, sometimes you purchase a verification, but it doesn't show up on your card until it reaches an unknown threshold.  Confusing. 

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Check prices on other tools first. 

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Email delivery rates are important no matter what tool we use and getting rid of addresses that are no good saves time. When ever we acquire a company we clean their lists before importing and it saves a lot of headaches. 

  ### 36. Excellent email list cleaner

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

I love how it cleans your list for emails that might bounce

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

I think briteverify does its job. I wish it was a little more accurate

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sending emails to spamming lists and cleaning our database of bad emails.

  ### 37. Email Verification

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

Mainly use Brite Verify to check for invalid email addresses. 

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Nothing the BV can do about it, but we see a lot of CATCH ALL email addresses. 

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Mainly use Brite Verify to check for invalid email addresses.  We delete those users from our CRM to save $$$ on seat licenses. 

  ### 38. Very useful before sending out emails

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

It is an easy to use tool to validate phone numbers and emails before you merge them with your master email list. The pricing is fair and the API options really expand the use offering. The speed is also second to none.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Requiring to use a CSV is annoying and not able to merge docs in the system is a pain. Also, the valid and role email descriptions could be better laid out.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

You need to make sure your email list is a list you are able in the first place. I would not use this tool with a purchased list. It will clean it up but even then you are not following best practices.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have used it to clean email lists we get at working tradeshows and also in a former company to use the API to reduce the number of fake email signups.

  ### 39. Necesary for marketing teams

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

instant verification & low cost. Dashboard makes really easy to understand each list 

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

could provide more insight into why bad emails or suggestions to update/correct

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

validating new contact lists we acquire.. Especially from events. We are cleaning out years of old Salewsforce leads and contacts this month after we BriteVerify our ENTIRE emails database

  ### 40. effective and affordable emali validation tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom W. | Marketing Consultant, Consulting, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

It is easy to use, and very inexpensive. It does a good job of verifying email addresses, and segments them by validity type.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

It only accepts CSV files, so I have to basically duplicate my Excel files to get a verification. Seems unnecessary when Excel is so widely used.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Remember to save your lists in CSV format. The number of columns in the data do not impact the price, only the number of email addresses. 

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am ensuring list purity as much as is possible. It keeps me from polluting my email lists with spam addresses and old invalid addresses. It also shows me the type of the address so I know better what I am dealing with

  ### 41. Easy to read reporting

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda F. | Demand Generation Associate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

The visuals of the reports after each list clean are clear and easy to read. Briteverify makes it very simple and easy to upload lists. The process of verifying your emails is very quick, too, even if you have a larger list to run. So long as you use the templates that are given for the way your list should be set up works very well.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

I wish that the categories were a bit more descriptive as far as how to trust some of the more questionable categories. Other than that, it's a pretty good software that's very useful. I feel like the price is fair for what it saves you in email reputation for sure. I just wish it could be more integrated into my marketing automation tools so that I could skip a few steps.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

A full integration with marketing automation software would be a great improvement!

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

List cleansing and list maintenance - takes a lot of the guesswork out of whether or not you've gotten a good list 

  ### 42. Clean up your mailing list for better results... without spending much!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

No marketer wants to send emais that end up on the spam folder or get lots of hard and soft bounce. It makes your deliverability low and you can get you domain black listed. To avoid that you can use BriteVerify, spend cents of a dolar to clean your database and only work with valid emails. The best of all is that this process was really easy. Great tool!

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

I don't have anything in mind that I can write here to show what I didn't like about their tool. As it is really simple and straighforward to use, I didn't find anything that made me feel the experience was bad.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Not sure if this recommendation is valid for everyone but if your mailing list has different segments of users (e.g. we segmented our users within different industry segmentation) it's nice to split the list into those segments so once you upload it on BriteVerify you can check if there's a pattern of different user segment that you get more invalid email than other. It's a way to understand about your own contacts.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I had a huge list of emails from the history of contacts our company had in its database and we were having problem with hard bounces and spam filters. We needed to clean up our mailing list to fix this issue. The benefit I realized was seeing our open rates get better, the lower bounce rate and mitigating being caught in spam filters.

  ### 43. Easy and functional

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole L. | Marketing Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2018

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

Not only is it easy to use but Briteverify helps us to reduce "junk" emails and reach the people who really matter. We don't need to worry about sending to info@ emails and it removes all "risky" type emails that might get bounced. Our open rates have improved because we're no longer worried about our deliverability. We know the emails we are sending are going to people who are interested in our product and want to convert. No more risky or invalid emails!

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

Hard pressed to find something that I dislike about the program! I suppose the only thing would that it can be costly if you don't think to import your entire database at one time. The more emails you have to verify, the cheaper it gets so it's best to do the whole thing at once.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Using BriteVerify is very easy. Like on their website you just drag and drop a list to verify the quality of the list. I would recommend using BriteVerify before sending any email to ensure you're getting the most out of your email list and to make sure your bounce rates don't affect your open rates!

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving our horrible bounce rates. Before briteverify we sent to every email we had in our database, and too many were emails that would never get seen or domains that were not longer valid. The benefits that we've seen because of this is that we have higher open rates, we're reaching the prospects who WANT to hear from us and we no longer have an abysmal bounce rate.

  ### 44. May not give you affirmative results

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

BrightVerify has a clean user interface and responsive customer support. It's very easy to upload email lists, and the verification process is quick. 

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

BrightVerify charges you for the emails that they cannot verify. I submitted about 2,500 emails for verification, and 14% were returned as Valid/Invalid emails. Another 16% were "Unknown," and the remaining 70% were listed as "Accept All," which, according to their guidance, is essentially a gray area between Unknown and Valid/Invalid. For 86% of my emails, I'm no better off now than when I started. Their customer support was friendly and responsive to my request for an explanation and refund, but told me that "Unknown" and "Accept All" count as verifications. 

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

Consider looking for other email verification services that only charge you for the emails they are able to verify. 

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cleaning up email lists.

  ### 45. Good to use 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2019

I really like everything about it since now..but I'm not using anymore because of its price 

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

It is very intuitive and easy to use. No need much time.to.implement it.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All the works better and its easier to see the spam and emails you're working or not with so for me everything is easier than before

  ### 46. Fast, seamless way to validate database email addresses

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris H. | Head of Content Strategy and Communications, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

I love that I am able to verify email addresses without even sending an email. I can quickly find the dead and valid email addresses to focus my marketing outreach.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

The output you get from BriteVerify lists emails as Valid, Invalid, and Risky. Risky is one of the largest categories and incorporates accept-all, trap, and unverifiable emails. Would be great to get more granular details in this risky category.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had a very large and old database that was performing very poorly. BriteVerify helped with database hygiene. We rooted out addresses that churned and were able to focus on targeted email programs with only verified email addresses. This greatly improved performance of our email programs.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2019

**What do you like best about BriteVerify?**

BriteVerify is about the best software I've used to ensure deliverability of "real subscribers" and reduce bounce rate from invalid email recipients. I've even taken large lists that were previously verified using a competing software site and yielded a higher percentage of valid emails.

**What do you dislike about BriteVerify?**

If you are very cost-conscious, it is not the least expensive email verifier out there.

**Recommendations to others considering BriteVerify:**

It is well worth a business expense to use an email verification service, and Briteverify is easy to use and very trustworthy.

**What problems is BriteVerify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Brite Verifier is effective at preserving my business reputation when running email marketing campaigns.
