USE CASE:
The real work behind deliverability for SaaS companies
This page is about deliverability for SaaS companies: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. The tools we name are Mamba Labs Apify actors, priced per row, and Domain Deliverability Checker is the one pointed at SaaS companies.
The situation
SaaS companies distort deliverability, for a reason specific to them. SaaS companies sell to other businesses and publish almost nothing about their own numbers, and deliverability has to work around it. What catches people out on SaaS companies, deliverability included: headcount flatters them, because contractors and alumni linger on a company page for years. We keep 1 preconfigured task for deliverability on SaaS companies, across 1 tool.
Traditional Search Tools
- G2, for SaaS companies. Categories and review counts, free to read, and it only covers vendors that asked to be listed.
- MXToolbox. The tool most people already use, and it is genuinely good for one domain at a time. It is a web form, so checking 40 sending domains means 40 visits.
- Google Postmaster Tools. The only place you see what Gmail thinks of your reputation, and it is free. It covers Gmail, it needs domain verification, and it says nothing about the other half of your list.
- Your sequencer's own health check. Instantly and Smartlead both ship one. They check the domains you send from, which is the point, and they will not check a domain you have not connected yet.
- Read the DNS yourself. dig the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for the sending domain, then check it against the public blocklists one at a time. Fifteen minutes per domain if you know what you are looking at.
