Of course different tools would give you different results because they use different criteria for scoring. However, if you're on whitelists, your contacts are engaged with your emails and your email sending is good over a period of time, you can pretty much put anything in email (free, viagra, etc.) and inbox.
For example, I get RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI in SpamAssassin because my email servers have great reputation.

The different tools give you different results because they are designed and developed in a different way. I will encourage you to keep trying all these tools because I am so sure that you will bounce into one tool that you love and it will for sure work to your advantage. It is all about trying until you come across the one the meets your needs. I am so sure there are very many tools available today keep the fire burning buddy.
Thanks for your reply. Which email marketing tool are you using? Are you set up your server or just third party one?

Regular ol' Postfix + Mautic.
I use MX Toolbox to check if any of my domains are marked on any email black lists.
I also use SenderScore.org.

mail-tester.com is a powerful tool we use it mainly, it checks the sender infrastructure and the message itself.
they will provide you with a random email address, you send a test email to it! and they will give you the results of your message/sender.

+1 for mail-tester.com a great tool.
Plus use your internal spam score checker if your email client has one.
Also, check out headers of your test emails to yourself to see what spamassassin has scored you on a live production server. You can lookup what each spamassassin header means if you don't know.

Pretty much the best way to test any mail is by using seed mail boxes and looking at actual inbox placement. You can spend 15k a year with Return Path to do this, and find out... ...Almost the same information you'd get if you mailed a half dozen active and inactive accounts you have set up with gmail, hotmail, aol & yahoo.
Obviously mailing infrastructure and, in particular authentication/dns, really matter - and as several other folk suggest: Newsletters spam test by mail-tester.com is the 'go to' quicktest for this.
But most spam scoring tools just are not worth the effort. The days of keying on certain phrases and words in an email has long since passed - it has a very minor amount of relevance now. Spam filtering is much more advanced than that.
Best test, if it passes mail-tester OK, mail it to a bunch of seed accounts of your own, and see where it lands. Inbox, junk or missing...
Hope that is in some way helpful.

One thing I should really add - with the Mailtester Website (which they now charge for after 3 tests per day) - keep a close look out in the SpamAssassin results for any hits on Razor or Pyzor.
Although the score quite low they are a big problem. This basically means the domains in your links are listed with Cloudmark. It can mean other things, but nearly always changing the domains in links out will clear up that little problem and improve inbox placement (assuming all other factors are good).

Just build a seed list and test. Gmail, aol, yahoo and hotmail and parent domains that use the same mX, will most likely account for up to 90% of your list. You could also use spamassassin with razor2, pyzor plugins for GI.
Also, I would suggest that you know the breakdown of the domains in your list. So if your having a problem with any specific domain, you know how much of an effect it will cause.

@eMonetize - very cool guide in the sig.
been wanting to try mass email stuff as a way to build my REAL email list (i.e. getting the mass emails to manually opt into my list and then buy)... never seen any product owners doing this tho

There is a big difference between monetizing data using free offers and acquiring data for the purpose of trying to sell a specific product \ service. Using free offer is exponentially easier.
I highly recommend you follow what I talk about in the guide and stick to PPL offers when starting out!
Also, when you say..."getting the mass emails to manually opt into my list and then buy" Are you talking about acquiring data solely to drive users to a squeeze page / opt-in to your list?
If yes, this is not a good strategy by itself. I'm not saying you can't do it, just don't acquire data and only do this. You will leave way too much money on the table.
