Bouncer Plans: Contacts, Sends, and Qualifying Tiers

Choose your Bouncer plan by mapping must-haves to contact tiers, send limits, and qualifying features — not homepage “from” tiles — then confirm on the pricing page.

Quick answer

Choose a Bouncer package by listing day-one must-haves, mapping them to contacts and send limits on researched tiers, and picking the cheapest package that clears every gate — then confirm list price on the pricing page. Homepage “from” tiles are not a bill of materials.

  • List day-one must-haves
  • Map contacts and send limits
  • Highest gate sets the tier
  • Soft-check usage limits
  • Confirm on pricing page
  • Defer unused packs

Bouncer plans takeaways

  • Packaging is often usage-shaped Researched plans: Email Verification — 1,000 credits, Email Verification — 10,000 credits, Deliverability Kit — Starter, Deliverability Kit — Standard, Email Verification — 1M+. Researched capacity / usage limits: Email Verification — 1,000 credits: up to 1,000 credits; Email Verification — 10,000 credits: up to 10,000 credits.
  • Must-haves set the tier Our research does not flag plan-gated capabilities for Bouncer, but confirm your must-haves — including contact tiers and send limits — against the packaging you actually intend to buy.
  • No invented totals Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, sends/contacts, and quote terms on /pricing/bouncer/.
  • Seat discipline still matters Count who prospects or dials weekly — not the whole org chart — before you compare Bouncer packages.

Bouncer checklist

Bring these questions to every demo

Ask vendors to show the workflow live, not just describe it.

  • 1List day-one must-havesData, outreach, sync that must ship without unused enterprise.
  • 2Map contacts and send limitsUse researched plan names — not marketing tiles.
  • 3Confirm on pricing pageList price and contact-tier upgrades live there — not in this guide.

1. List day-one must-haves before you open pricing tiles

Bouncer plans diagram 1.
Must-haves decide the Bouncer floor — not the homepage starting tile.
  1. Write five day-one jobs for the marketing team.
  2. Mark which require seats vs sends/contacts vs add-on packs.
  3. Circle the highest gated must-have — that sets the floor tier.
  4. Our research does not flag plan-gated capabilities for Bouncer, but confirm your must-haves — including contact tiers and send limits — against the packaging you actually intend to buy. Worked example: a 6-person marketing team needs campaigns, ESP ↔ CRM sync, and automations on day one in Bouncer. Extra segmentation and AI are nice later, so they refuse to let those upsells set the package.

2. Count weekly users and expected credit burn

Seat and credit discipline beats vanity headcount for Bouncer.
  1. Count who builds campaigns, segments, or automations weekly — not headcount.
  2. Estimate list builds and campaigns per week (orders of magnitude, not fake precision).
  3. Check researched capacity notes. Researched capacity / usage limits: Email Verification — 1,000 credits: up to 1,000 credits; Email Verification — 10,000 credits: up to 10,000 credits.
  4. Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, sends/contacts, and quote terms on /pricing/bouncer/. Worked example: a 6-person marketing team counts 6 daily users and 2 managers, defers view-only execs, and refuses any package that cannot explain contact-tier renewals in writing.

3. When packaging is opaque, demand written gates

Refuse to compare Bouncer on a homepage tile alone when sends/contacts matter.

Our snapshot lists researched plans (Email Verification — 1,000 credits, Email Verification — 10,000 credits, Deliverability Kit — Starter, Deliverability Kit — Standard, Email Verification — 1M+), but still confirm live terms. 1. Named SKUs / editions on the quote.

  1. Seat definition (full vs light) and contact/send definition.
  2. What happens when sends/contacts exhaust mid-month.
  3. Exit / export rights for lists you built. Worked example: a 6-person marketing team delays shortlisting Bouncer until send/contact exhaustion behavior and export rights appear in writing.

4. Defer unused packs; confirm the live price last

Confirm Bouncer on the pricing page — this guide never invents dollars.
  1. Buy contacts/sends required for the day-one loop.
  2. Defer AI packs, extra channels, and unused add-ons until day 30+ evidence.
  3. Annualize only after you have written terms — never invent monthly×12 from a marketing tile.
  4. Final check: /pricing/bouncer/ Worked example: a 6-person marketing team scopes the first Bouncer invoice to seats + core contact tiers, parks the AI add-on, and only revisits packs after two Friday reviews.

5. Map must-haves to plan names in writing

Map must-have workflows to the Bouncer plan that unlocks them — demos often run above the tier you can afford.

Compare Email Verification — 1,000 credits, Email Verification — 10,000 credits, Deliverability Kit — Starter, and Deliverability Kit — Standard on the same headcount assumption.

Worked example: Marketers cleaning lists before campaigns screenshots the plan shown in demo and matches it to /pricing/bouncer/.

6. Model seats, usage, and add-ons together

Build one sheet: seats, usage units, add-on SKUs, and overage triggers for Bouncer. Compare totals — not entry tiles.

7. Get a written quote on the qualifying configuration

Ask Bouncer for a quote that names plan, seats, usage band, and add-ons. Store it next to alternatives with the same assumptions.

Worked example: Marketers cleaning lists before campaigns files quotes in the same folder with identical date and headcount headers.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why don’t you list dollar prices here?

    Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, sends/contacts, and quote terms on /pricing/bouncer/.

  • What if there is no public plan matrix?

    Common for email marketing. Compare with a written must-have sheet and quote diligence — not blog “starting at” figures.

  • Seats or sends/contacts — which matters more?

    Whichever your day-one jobs consume. Many teams under-buy sends/contacts and over-buy spectator seats — reverse that.
