Data is stale
We purchased 15,000 credits from Bookyourdata.com in June this year. We started downloading data in batches of 3,000. The first batch of data had a bounce rate of 25%, The second batch of data had a bounce rate of 30% and so on. The last batch of data had almost 40% bounce rate. But, whenever we sent them the bounce reports, they used give us new credits so that we can download more data. Although they were kind enough to do this, and in the end, we had about 13,200 clean contacts with minimum bounce rate, the data is quite old and stale, it is the email addresses which work, but no one uses them. It is mostly data of old employees of those companies who do not work there anymore but the emails have not yet been de-activated. Also, most of the data comes from the same couple of big companies, if you try to download maximum of 5 or 10 emails from each company, then, the system will only give you a very few email addresses. We were looking forward to purchasing another 2 batches of 15,000 contacts but since the data is stale, we decided to stop here. Be careful before you commit big. I saw on Trustpilot.com that they had about 10 5 star reviews but most of them have been removed by Trustpilot. Most probably the 5 star reviews are from people affiliated with Bookyourdata.com who want to make you buy.
Update: All positive reviews which were there before the writing of this review on 7th of August 2025 are now no longer there.
