How does the pricing compare to neverbounce.com?

@sahershodhan Since I'm a solo-founder, I can afford to bring the prices slightly down. Just tried an estimated pricing for 500k emails to verify: - NeverBounce: $1,500 - Reacher: $625 You can see Reacher's price estimator here: https://reacher.email/pricing.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 First off, a special thank you to @fisch0920 for hunting Reacher! 🙏 I have been working on Reacher since the lockdown in spring, so today I'm super thrilled to launch. 🎉 Reacher allows you to check if an email address is deliverable or not, it's useful for: 🙅‍♀️ preventing spam sign-ups on your website, 🧹 and cleaning up mailing lists from junk emails. This has been a long journey. It started as I was looking for an open-source alternative to Hunter, NeverBounce and Clearout, but couldn't find anything reliable, so I wrote one myself. When I uploaded it on Github, it received some positive traction. I then met @fisch0920, who presented Saasify.sh to me. One week later, Reacher was live! Some more details about Reacher: 🎯 Accurate - it actually connects to the mail server to check deliverability 🦀 Written in Rust 🕶️ Privacy-focused 🧅 Uses Tor to avoid getting blacklisted 🛠 Scales well 📊 Checks MX, SMTP, catch-all, DEA... and more 📝 100% Open-Source 😺 Free for personal use I will be here all day to answer your questions! 💪 - Amaury

can someone with zero coding skill use this? it looks a bit complicated to someone whos not technical? thanks

@c_mos Unfortunately, Reacher only offers an API today, so some basic programming skills are needed. Code snippets are available on the playground, so once a coding environment is set up, a simple copy/paste will do! I'm taking your feedback into account, a "drag-n-drop your CSV/XLS list" kind of UI has been requested a lot.

@c_mos @amaurymartiny would even be nice to have a free-to-use UI for looking up a single email address on the landing page, just to see how it all works and cater to the one-off user who might just need to look up a few email addresses.

@taykcrane Hey Taylor! Have you checked https://reacher.email? I believe the playground on the right is exactly what you're looking for!

@amaurymartiny Ah! I actually just thought that was a static screenshot, I didn't look hard enough. I just ran a few email addresses for domains I own, and it seems like the only thing that changes is the flag "is_deliverable", and it seems not to be accurate? For example it sets taylor@outro.co to be false, even though that's my email address. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong property.

This is really interesting. Unfortunately, I don't do Rust. Would be really great to see this happen in NodeJs. Anyways... Thanks, you open-sourced it.

@csaba_kissi Thanks for the kind words! For people not writing Rust (which is a lot of people, I reckon), I also provide a Dockerfile to easily deploy it anywhere. Check it out my repo https://github.com/amaurymartiny...

I find myself looking for a service like this at least once a year. Nice work!

@paper_tokyo Thanks!

Pretty neat. Added to my collection to give it a real-life test once the need arrives :) I like your free limit. I'd say it's more than enough for personal and ocassional use.

@iryniuk Thanks! Do let me know how you like it once you give it a real-life test.

Thanks, pretty interesting and great design. Curious, why would someone pay if this is open sourced? Am I missing something?

@johnmerced That's a great question! There are 2 reasons: 1. The source code is only half of the equation in verifying email. Reacher additionally takes care of maintaining healthy servers, rotating IPs, and other infrastructure-related heavy-lifting to avoid getting blacklisted. 2. The open-source code is under the AGPL-3.0 license. If you want to use Reacher commercially, you're legally obliged either open-source your code (AGPL is a "viral" license), or purchase a commercial license here https://reacher.email/commercial....
