SaaS vs Self-Host
When using Reacher, you can choose between two options: the SaaS version hosted by Reacher or self-hosting the service on your infrastructure. Each option offers distinct advantages depending on your needs, technical resources, and desired level of control.
What is Reacher SaaS?
Reacher SaaS is the cloud-hosted version of the service, accessible at https://app.reacher.email. It handles all infrastructure, updates, and scaling for you. You can verify emails directly via the Reacher Dashboard without managing technical details.
What is Self-Hosting Reacher?
Reacher is also available for self-hosting, enabling you to run the service on your own servers. This approach provides full control over the environment and data while leveraging the same verification engine as Reacher SaaS. Reacher is designed to make self-hosting straightforward and efficient.
Reacher's goal is to make Self-Hosting easy. You can Install Reacher in 20min as part of your Commercial License Trial.
