Analyze List is the very first tool you should use after creating your account. It gives you a quick, credit-free overview of your email list quality so you understand how risky your file is before spending credits on verification.

What Analyze List Does

Analyze List scans your uploaded file and estimates the potential bounce rate of your list. It does not clean or deeply validate emails. Instead, it picks random 25 emails from your list and tells you:

  • How healthy your list is
  • Whether your list needs cleaning
  • Whether your list needs full verification
  • Whether your list is safe to use in campaigns

This helps you make decisions about buying credits, upgrading your plan, or preparing your list before sending any emails.

Why This Should Be Your First Step

Analyze List is:

  • Free to use
  • AI powered
  • 98% accurate in estimating bounce risk

If your bounce rate is above 2 percent, we strongly recommend cleaning or verifying your list before you send any campaigns. ESPs (Email Service Providers) penalize high bounce rates and may block your sending domain.
