Overall Satisfaction with Litmus
I am a freelance graphic designer and email developer and my speciality is email. I use Litmus as an indispensable tool in my creative toolbox in order to check the emails I design and code.
It is incredibly helpful for me to troubleshoot, check and optimize email creatives by seeing them in all sorts of platforms, email service providers and devices. I always recommend that my clients allow me use Litmus, as I feel it is a valuable asset in my work process and a well known and trusted company in the industry. Litmus allows me to have the confidence that my emails will always render correctly to our target audience.

- Show rendering in multiple email clients, browsers and devices
- Stays up to date when one of the above variables changes
- Gives tips on email design and coding
- Perhaps if there were a way to know without going through all screenshots if there was an immediate detected problem
- I haven't noticed if Litmus checks links as I usually use it for visual render checks but if they could do that and point out any errors that would be a good thing
- If there were a render error and the system gave us tips on how to fix it that would be amazing too. Normally I can figure out myself why something isn't working but once in a while weird bugs come up and there is no explanation
- the positive thing is that if I test in Litmus I have the confidence it will look ok before I send to a client and they mail it out to a whole email list. Plus, I have the backup proof it rendered correctly in Litmus if a user says it doesn't render for them.
- Litmus also saves time. I don't have to wait for someone to send a seed to make sure it looks ok; I can just check in Litmus and have ALL results in just a few seconds
I have not integrated anything with Litmus so this is not applicable to me.
I have not used it to gauge email engagement or performance so this is not applicable to me. I only use it for visual render checks.
I don't use this feature; as a freelancer doing all the work on the creative, I am the only one who checks the creative so I don't have a team approve the rendering. I check it myself and then send the completed files to my clients.
I prefer Litmus because it is more user friendly, and the team to me seems more personal. I even followed them on social media and asked how i could get a Litmus t-shirt once, and they sent me one for free. I really like them as a company; they have a solid product and seem to be good people. I also noticed that Email on Acid sometimes makes errors. I have not noticed this with Litmus.
