“What makes Evidence stand out from the others?”

Posted by

I received a question this week asking about other Email Certification services that are available in the market.

“I have seen that there are other services similar to Evidence. What’s makes Evidence stand out from the others?”

Well, first of all, one of the key features of Evidence is that the recipient of the email does not have to take any action what-so-ever in order the complete the process. Many other email verification services require the recipient to physically click on something in order to confirm the receipt back to the sender. This is OK in non-confrontational situations but imagine if you were in dispute with someone…would they bother the take the action that would help you prove something? No, of course they wouldn’t.

A second major difference is the technology we use to complete the certification process. Other services embed a server-based (external) image call in the email body. When the email is opened by the recipient, the image is retrieved and a record is generated on the service’s database. This will only work if their email client doesn’t ban external image loading (the Outlook default is to ban these). This strategy could actually be considered as a form of hacking; we don’t need to do this. What the Evidence records is the SMTP dialogue between the Evidence’s and the recipient’s mail servers, upon delivery of the email. This is a common practise amongst email providers and an embedded feature in most, if not all, mail servers (Exchange, Notes, Postfix, etc.). As you can image, if mail clients ban external image loading, the service just won’t work…full stop.

A third is our pricing structure. If you have a low usage requirement, you can use the Evidence for FREE. Advanced feature and higher volume solutions start at only 29,95€ per year…we call this the Evidence+. Even for large companies, the maximum they can pay is under 500€ per annum.

Of course there are many other advantages the Evidence has over other ‘similiar’ services but I will save those for another day.

In the meantime it’s back to signing up Local Partners (LP) for the Evidence across the world. Our LPs earn 25% commission on every Evidence+ account their customers sign up for.
