I can understand from my previous colleagues that Litmus is one of if not the best tool on the market. We didn't evaluate other tools before implementing it.
Litmus has a better email editor, better partials, and better UI. If I'm going to spend hours a day using a piece of software, I want the UI to look good and make sense. Litmus is more expensive, but it does more than Email on Acid, and the best fit for our marketing team was a single app that could meet most of our needs. Litmus' customer service is also very responsive, and their community forums are quite helpful.
Litmus is much more user friendly and easier to work with than Email on Acid. The email previews run faster and are more accurate than the competition. That said, the price is a bit more expensive and it still doesn't replace all of our tools. Would really love to see Litmus add a beautification feature for HTML coding.
I haven't used any others. I was so pleased with Litmus that it has been my go-to. Even when I do personal contract work, I use Litmus because I love it so much.
At the time we selected Litmus, we liked the functionality and interface better than Email on Acid, which was about 7-8 years ago now. We almost switched to 250ok this year because they have the same email preview functionality as Litmus and have spam trap/blacklist/list review capabilities. We will continue to evaluate both software going forward.
There was no other option in our mind, nor did we explore other options. They are the industry leader and we have always viewed them as such. It was an absolute no brainer for us.
Litmus is much better at tracking, building, and testing emails than what we have used in the past, and the integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a life-changer.
A few years ago when we were researching tools that could help resolve our rendering issues, I came across Litmus and Email on Acid. We discovered that other vendors we used offered rendering testing, but ultimately discovered that they were all licensing the Litmus tool inside of their system. Upon further investigation, Litmus and EoA both appeared to be the best tools to help meet our rendering test needs but Litmus also included advanced analytics trackable on all opens and as an extra benefit our AE who left the ESP we were using had taken an AE role at Litmus which turned out to be icing on the cake. Ultimately, we went with Litmus because of the additional capabilities and the trust built up with our previous AE.
We have not yet tried any other products for our in-house email testing and development. Honestly, we're satisfied enough with what we get out of Litmus that we haven't bothered to look for alternatives.
It's been years since I've used Return Path. Email on Acid is excellent and very comparable to Litmus. We chose Litmus because it seems to be better suited for marketing agencies, and better allows us to create sub-accounts by client or by internal team.
I prefer Litmus over Email on Acid primary because Litmus provides more email clients to test in. However, Litmus' coding environment is also superior to Email on Acid's coding system. It is more intuitive to code in Litmus and be able to quickly preview the changes you've made in your code. This is especially important when troubleshooting issues on specific email clients.
Litmus beats the competition, not only for their stellar email tools but their unwavering support of the email community. I have been a part of the email development scene for a long time, and I have seen it blossom with the help of Litmus. I am brand loyal.
The only other email rendering services I have tried is the Email on Acid integration built into Sailthru. It was a stripped-down version of the EoA platform and was difficult to navigate. At that point, I had used Litmus for nearly three years and did not have much trust in the EoA integration when I saw some rendering disparities.
We love the interface that Litmus has, we tried working in other platforms but it is not as intuitive as Litmus. We like the distribution of elements and how we can decide which visualization we want. It has been very useful for the company.
