    Chose Email on Acid
    Email on Acid has more features than Litmus. They offer more email clients to test on and during my time using both tools, had fewer clients that displayed as being down. This was a major time suck especially when testing for specific clients such as Microsoft Outlook.

    It was the most sophisticated, but easy to use platform. I also had some experience in Mailchimp prior, so I was already familiar with the tool. Additionally, it was great having the ability to effectively manage SMS and email—all under one roof.

    Email On Acid Inc.
    Suited: Pre-deployment QA and rendering validation: If your audience uses a diverse mix of email clients and devices (e.g., corporate Outlook users, gmail users on mobile, etc.) Email on Acid ensures consistency across all of them. Less appropriate: If your organization only sends basic text-based emails or uses template with minimal HTML customization, then Email on Acid might not be appropriate.

    Mailchimp is fairly easy to onboard, even for those who would consider themselves less technologically inclined. It can be as simple as plug-and-play for simpler campaigns or scale up as needed. It also makes it easy to build, send out for internal review and feedback, and track all the needed changes.

    At the outset of my position with my current company, we used a marketing automation system that was known as a swiss army knife: it could do many things, but none of them well. They had no built in functionality for boosting email deliverability. Digging in to find out what we could do to improve our authority, we learned we needed to clean our lists before sending. ZeroBounce does everything we need it to, and at a reasonable price. What more could you want?

    • Mailchimp allows you to manage your mailing list really well. You can subscribe people, unsubscribe people manage the mailing list directly into segments, and what not.
    • Mailchimp has features where you can create campaigns based on your mailing lists and send out newsletters to your subscribers based on a multitude of parameters that you can setup. Such as send email daily, weekly, monthly and they also have event based mails that you can send out.
    • Mailchimp also has a feature where you can design your emails. The look and aesthetics are very important when sending emails to your subscribers and all those needs are addressed here.

    • Navigating among bulk validation, CSV upload, and single-ID validation is hard, and sometimes finding them or switching between them can be made more user-friendly.
    • Results: After bulk validation, we receive the results in a Zip file, which is useful sometimes but not every time, as we have to un-zip, and there will be a different CSV file for each result. The final results can be made simple, like email ID in column A, results (valid or Invalid) in column B.

    We've had Mailchimp for about ten years, I want to say. I started with the company about four years ago, and I don't see us ever diverting to another source. It's easy for us to use, and we have all our clients already built into the database. I imagine we'll use them for as long as we have the company.

    Usability
    Email On Acid Inc.
    I'd rate Email on Acid a 7 out of 10 for overall usability. It is intuitive, reliable, and greatly enhances the QA process for email campaigns, though there's still some room for improvement in speed and report flexibility. For example: the previews sometimes take longer during peek hours, especially for complex or image-heavy emails

    It is easy, but some things you need to learn from their resources. Mailchimp is one of the most popular email marketing platforms because it combines email marketing, automation, audience management, and analytics into a single tool that's easy to use and scale. Simple solutions and drag-and-drop edits make it easy.

    For the large suite of services that they offer their system is pretty easy to understand and navigate. ZeroBonce is also NOT one of those services that is constantly tweaking their UI and making it hard to find tasks that you regularly use. More complex tasks can be more challenging but that's understandable. They also have an extensive restful API that if technical enough allow you to automate some of your most used tasks. They stand behind their product with good documentation as well as high quality customer service.

    I used Intuit Mailchimp, and I would say other software I used is equally good and competes with Intuit Mailchimp. Well, Intuit Mailchimp's reporting is better, and ActiveCampaign has more affordable pricing, so in the end, it all comes to what you need. What we needed was available in cheaper price in other software as well. But I would definitely say Intuit Mailchimp has its own advantages too.

    We considered AtData since it was recommended by a colleague who has used it in the past. We ultimately ended up going with ZeroBounce based on the cost and documentation/resources available. Email validation tools are probably very similar, but ZeroBounce seemed the simplest for us, and we needed to implement one fast, so activation time was very quick.

    Mailchimp over the years I've used it has grown in leaps and bounds. They have added so many additional features than were previously available. They are truly an all-in-one marketing platform now. If you're a small operation and just want to add email to your marketing efforts, they're there for you. If you're a larger operation and want to start sending postcard advertisements, they can do that. If you'd good with that and want to kick up your marketing by going social, you can do that on their platform. They are truly able to be as small as you need, but also get quite large in whatever it is you'd like to do through their system.

    • One of my retail web store clients was sending out email specials and notices about once a month. After clicking the send button, we would watch Google Analytics and the current site users would light up immediately. Often, the current site visitors would pop up to 20, 30 or more after the email was sent. On a normal day, seeing 1 or 2 online users would be OK.
