Kickbox Reviews & Product Details

This software is very user-friendly, and its features are easy to understand, even the first time I use it. and the integration of it api was a piece of cake and the details they provide for every email is much use full. i have been using this from past 6 months and haven't faced any problems to contact customer support. the alert mails they send helps a lot to keep the balance updated. overall the implementation of the kickbox api is very easy and reliable.

Currently, I don’t see any downsides to the Kickbox API. If I run into any issues in the future, I’ll reach out to customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the live usage of the dashboard, so it's up to the minute, helping us gauge how much volume we are using daily. I also like the fact I can upload lists at any time for batch sending, which is convenient for those one-off email batch sends that aren't sent through the live feed. Switching to Kickbox from Bridge Marketing has yielded better results and more accurate findings. The initial setup was straightforward and took less than two weeks on our side.

Honestly at this time everything works great, maybe somehow identifying spam traps specifically. ISPs can create spam traps that look like a real user, I don't believe Kickbox has the ability to identify those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility of the plan and the credit system with Kickbox. You're not locked into a plan that costs more than you need. I appreciate that you pay for validation with credits, and as you scale, the price goes up, but you're getting good value for your money. I also love the simplicity it offers, where each email validation is worth one credit. It allows me to buy the number of credits I need and scale it appropriately to the size of my business without having to pay penalties for a particularly busy month. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy and took me less than thirty minutes. I find the user experience to be pretty good, and the API integration with custom systems is really nice.

I think Kickbox could do maybe a little bit better job explaining the difference between the risky segment and the undeliverable one. Initially, it wasn't clear to me whether those people should be excluded or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kickbox allows us to be confident in our data, it seamlessly intergrates with HubSpot, giving us a high level of performance, knowing any comms we are sending are going to highly engaged, real contacts - the price impact is so small for the impact it has on the business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could be slightly improved to feel more modern - with more breakdown/reporting details Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Kickbox very easy to use and its integration with HubSpot is incredibly convenient, allowing me to quickly segment the people I don't want to send emails to. I also appreciate that the initial setup was very easy. Kickbox's pricing is quite good for what I wanted to accomplish, which makes it a worthwhile choice for managing our email lists and preserving our email sendability.

I found it difficult to understand what all of the email segments meant. I was somewhat frustrated by how many emails were unknown. I also was surprised at the sheer amount of bounces and was unsure if they were all accurate, as going to these customer profiles showed emails going through.

I like that it's simple, straightforward, and effective. When I need to verify an email list, Kickbox helps me do so easily and quickly. Additionally, Kickbox provides a report for every email list that I verify, which is very useful both for me and for communicating results to clients. They make email verification basically frictionless, and since Kickbox offers easy-to-read/understand reports, it's easier to communicate results and show value to my clients. Another thing I really like is their variety of knowledgebase articles that are easy to find and explain email verification in very simple terms. This helps answer my questions and makes it easy to answer my clients' questions. I also used Kickbox's integration with HubSpot, which streamlined the process of verifying lists directly from HubSpot in Kickbox and then quickly getting the verified lists added back to HubSpot. The initial setup was very easy. All I needed to do was create an account, add a payment method, and then I was ready to use Kickbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the most part, I haven't had any problems with Kickbox. However, one small nitpick I have is how 'Unknowns' are handled. When you verify an email list, it's possible that Kickbox will be unable to get a valid response from some recipients' mail servers. When this happens, they mark the email as 'Unknown' because they weren't able to verify it. While it's nice that Kickbox will let you re-verify these 'Unknown' email addresses for free, re-verifying these email addresses creates a second, separate report. For a recent verification job, I was initially faced with ~1,300 'Unknowns,' which was a good chunk of my list. So, I had to re-verify these ~1,300 emails several times in order to verify most of them, which led to me having 7 different reports/results for one list. Instead of being able to download all of the results together, I had to download files separately and combine them manually. Perhaps there is a good reason why Kickbox handles re-verifying 'Unknowns' this way, but I find it to add a bit of friction to my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decreasing the number of emails with bad addresses in our org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I thought I was prepared to send my email, but it turns out, we still had 12 hard bounces after I ran all of out emails through Kickbox. We only have 247 contacts, and I was only emailing 80, so 12 is HUGE. On the up side, it was cheaper than Never Bounce, and I think the visualization of the data I got back was better. But there were a lot of emails that were unconfirmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Kickbox to scan lists for deliverability before importing them into HubSpot. I appreciate that it identifies potential deliverability issues, which helps me keep my bounce rates down on my marketing emails by avoiding sending to addresses that would bounce. I find it easy to use, and I like the clear classification and explanations. Contacts are classified into different levels of riskiness regarding deliverability, and the reasons are explained, which I find helpful. Additionally, the initial setup of Kickbox was very easy.

The integration with HubSpot is not very useful. Currently, it can pull in lists from HubSpot, but I don't need to scan these contacts, I will have done so before they entered the platform. What I would like to do is be able to send new contact lists into HubSpot from Kickbox as an import. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Kickbox's simplicity and accuracy. The interface is easy to use, and the verification results are reliable. The real-time validation is very helpful for preventing bad email entries. It's a smooth, hassle-free tool that just works. The initial setup was very easy, and everything felt intuitive, so we were up and running quickly. We use Kickbox with Salesforce and HubSpot, which helps maintain accurate records, reduce bounce rates, and improve email deliverability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved is the consistency of the verification results. Occasionally, when I rerun the same email address, Kickbox returns different outcomes, which can make it a bit confusing. Improving result stability and accuracy would make the tool even more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Kickbox to cleanse my email lists, ensuring my newsletters are sent without interruption. It's simple to use and provides quick results, which I find incredibly valuable. With Kickbox, I've been able to increase my newsletter delivery rates and keep my system from locking up due to too many invalid address sends. I've used it for both large and smaller lists, and it's a convenient tool, especially when dealing with lists that might not have solid contact info. When I first started, I inherited a poorly maintained customer email list and Kickbox helped me quickly cleanse it, eliminating issues with account lockouts and helping me maintain a 99% delivery rate. The initial setup was very easy, and I was able to integrate it with my HubSpot database seamlessly. I also like that I can rely on it to ensure that emails reach the right recipients and maintain high delivery rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say I have many complaints. I didn't realize there was a whole 'Understanding Results' section and this could have been helpful to know sooner if I knew where to look. Perhaps make it easier to find on the site or as a pop-up option, like a tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
