Are you looking for an effective software to verify your email database? There are a lot of services with different available options. Let’s dive into a comparative analysis of Email Verification Add-on and Hunter Email Verifier.
Look through a summary table and get to know the main characteristics of these two email verification tools:
Usage
For professional contacts only
Hunter is a multipurpose email checker for complete verification of business emails from companies and domains. The system doesn’t verify webmails such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. The list of verification fields for every email address includes result (deliverable, risky or undeliverable status), analysis of its format, gibberish, disposable, various server checks, and overall score.
For business and personal email addresses
Email Verification Add-on allows checking deliverability status of business email addresses as well as personal ones. It is possible to check whether a contact is deliverable, connected to a catch-all server, or not deliverable.
Security
At all-levels
Hunter has a strict and systematic HSTS policy for data encryption. Moreover, a firewall on Hunter’s servers restricts access from non-approved IP addresses. Last but not the least, it works with Bishop Fox, a cybersecurity service.
Confirmed by the Google team
The security level of Email Verification was verified by Google (it is an obligatory check before a product is published on G Suite Marketplace). Besides, your data isn’t stored or shared on its servers, so you don’t need to worry about the security of your information.
Capacity
10K contacts in bulk
Using Hunter service you can check as one email address as well as a list of contacts by using a Bulk Email Verifier. You need to upload a file with email addresses and proceed to the verification process. Note: Only up to 200 email addresses per domain name can be checked per day.
