Acumbamail vs. Litmus

Acumbamail is a newer email marketing tool that has plenty of room to grow, but they are off to a fantastic start. Setting up my first email list was super easy and intuitive. Creating broadcasts is straightforward, as are landing pages. And the automation flows that are built in are incredible. The biggest downside is some of the documentation being in Spanish. It's easy enough to translate but still slows you down. That said, I'm really looking forward to growing with Acumbamail!

Litmus is great at testing emails in different clients, tracking opens, clicks, and dark mode usage, and helping us make changes to our emails from the builder. It would be nice to be able to see .gifs or timers work in the email previews.

• Would love to have more code snippets provided by Litmus for more "drag and drop" editing
• Expansion of personalization use cases in the "Personalize" tab
• Better functioning Chrome extension - it struggles to load, goes blank, or will partially remain open on the side of my Mailchimp email interface when I'm testing emails on the side of the screen

It's offering me more than any other email proof software I've heard of! I also really appreciate how Litmus gives back to the email development community via their content creation. I want better marketing and marketing email in the world, and Litmus is working towards that goal. So, yeah, they're good folks with a good product!

Litmus has integrations that make the software an integrated part of my work every day. Being able to test right within my email builder is just brilliant. Daily I also use the web interface to review analytics and spam testing. Overall it is one of the pieces of software I use daily without any complaints or issues.

We have never had a problem with Litmus being unavailable so I would say their availability is fantastic. There might have been one time years ago that the site was down briefly but it also might have been a server issue on my end. Either way, Litmus was back up and running in a very short time

As with all technology, there are inevitably use-cases where you are unable to get to your original goal without some good old-fashioned experimenting. Some situations will (and are) more urgent which complicates an effective integration of a new process or a new team using an existing process but the "issues" are regularly resolved by re-starting the process specific to when Litmus is introduced to a project. If it doesn't come out the way you're anticipating, run it again and verify there is an issue before declaring all is lost

It was very informative one on one session for me. I was able to use Litmus without any issues.

It has all the required information.

It was quick and easy to get up and running. We were able to use the platform not long after getting it up and running.

Acumbamail is still in its infancy, so it's not fair to compare it to ConvertKit, which has been around for a while, but Acumbamail is very similar in its setup. In some ways, its automation look to be a lot more straightforward. I'm really hoping they'll be able to grow Acumbamail into a killer product!

Figma is great to get the email collaboration from document to visual build. Like Litmus, you can leave comments right on the HTML build of the email. For us, Litmus made the jump between Developers and Marketers in the testing process

With our enterprise account, scalability is not an issue. I have not yet seen or heard of significant issues with user access, API connections for integrations etc. This includes down time for "Scheduled Maintenance" as some providers call them, Litmus has the technology backing to support a global team with a 24-hour workday across regions

• Still too early to tell, but down the road, the impact of having a good mailing list will be enormous!

Incentivized

• Litmus has positively helped us to be able to measure email performance metrics and provide stakeholders insights on what email content is resonating with clients
• Litmus has helped us to ensure our emails are error free by providing us with an overview of whether each email meets the requirements for optimal email performance and delivery
