If you have Marketo or Pardot and have emails that might be somewhat simple to slightly complex, without the budget for a developer, Knak is the right solution for you. If you have complex emails that require a lot of code or customization and have the in-house resources, Knak might not be the perfect solution

Litmus

If you are building emails outside the scope of your email platform's tested and approved templates, and you send at least one email a week, the value of a Litmus subscription can not be better! If you send one email a month or less or use your email platform's tried and tested templates, Litmus is probably not a necessary expense.

Litmus

  • Email approval process: Visual indicators of what to change and green approval button.
  • Insight into user device: Easy visuals show the percentage and number of devices used to view the emails.
  • Insight into time spent on each email: Grouped into three categories to easily determine how long is spent on each email so decisions on content length can be made for future emails to the targets.

Litmus

  • Full Admins don't have the same level of access as Account Owner - e.g. some granular permissions can only be assigned by the owner.
  • Not as many email client/browser/device variants as Email on Acid (but all the main ones).
  • Can't locate the Analytics by the id in the Analytics tag!

I love using Litmus and find that it has been a huge component of the success of our email campaigns. I can't say enough great things about the platform, and I have seen firsthand how it has saved me time building and sending fully optimized email campaigns. I would absolutely renew again.

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

Alternatives Considered

Knak.

Marketo has email templates and you can, of course, create your own - but Knak makes it so much easier to create templates that are nice looking and mobile-optimized.

Litmus

Workday is something our company uses for time entries and the learning portion for different [pieces of] training that we go through. We integrated Litmus with Workday to better be able to understand metrics of the amount of time that is logged in as well as the amount of training that employees go through, which has helped us pinpoint who needs necessary training and how to function better and more efficiently as a company.

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

Litmus

  • Shortened email review cycles in an agency setting with the ability to share tests with clients
  • The code editor clearly identifies errors in HTML which is a significant time-saver and helps with overall campaign results
  • Rich spam testing to identify any potential issues prior to sending has decreased bounce rates.
