Email on Acid vs. Mautic (open source)

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.

Mautic is not Salesforce or Dynamics of course; it is hard to install, still buggy and you have to know what you're doing if you want to use it. But that is your admission fee to an always free system that does essentially all the same things as the pricey alternatives, does it effectively and gives you total control. Mautic was acquired by Acquia, the company behind Drupal, and has been making substantial upgrades since that seem to be accelerating. The system has an active user community, active development and will only get better, making it an excellent choice to grow with and build your own systems around and never be dependent on third parties

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

Email On Acid is very similar to Litmus, but perhaps slightly more reliable. I have used both extensively, and prefer Email On Acid.

Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement to pay for it.

• Ability to send over 1000 previews spanning across 90 email clients.
• Saves a lot of time getting emails out the door.

• We made our ROI back within a year.
• Fulfills our needs and our client's needs, our clients love it.
• I would just add more templates to the email construction selection, other than that, it is just perfect.
