Email on Acid Reviews

I've been using Email on Acid for about 6 years, and its managed to evolve, adapt, and stay relevant as HTML email gets more complicated in a more responsive world. There is almost no wait-time between when I deploy a test email to Email on Acid and when I can start viewing renderings. They also have great articles about HTML email trends, useful snippets for those hard to fix bugs (I'm looking at you Outlook).

Their latest (within the last month or two of this article) UI refresh is a little wonky. I'm sure they'll have the kinks out by the time you read this.

The campaign precheck and deliverability testing are great features that allow you to pinpoint potential issues with a coded email file, to prevent anything from going wrong before launching an email. Its a very good tool for helping to prepare and navigate through the email testing and deploying process.

It is not always easy to find information about the latest product releases and what it would take to add on or try out new features before deciding if we want to add them to our subscription. It would be great to have more visibility into this on a more regular basis.

The main attraction that Email on Acid held for my business was the lower cost, in comparison to the main competitor in the field, Litmus, both as an email editor and for screenshot testing of emails in different email clients. Email on Acid has a wide range of supported clients, including some that Litmus does not include.

Email on Acid has a wide range of supported clents for screenshot testing, but this coverage is distinctly lacking in several key areas, notably dark mode in Gmail on Android/iOS.

One of the things I love most about Email on Acid is you can run unlimited number of tests across desktop, mobile and tablet size devices. I switched away from Litmus to Email on Acid and with unlimited tests along with all of the other great features, I'm never going back!

In the Design Editor, the hyperlinks don't link out into a new window which would be a nice feature to have to make sure the target urls are correct.

What I love about Email on Acid is how quickly I can see how my email renders across all email providers as well as internet browsers. I always rely on this tool to make sure my emails will be sent out with no issues. The one cool thing that I really do love is that I can use their optimizer to check my HTML code. Since I am not fully fluent in coding, I find myself using existing templates and making modifications to the code. Many times I notice an error in the code and am not sure what is broken or wrong, but when I take the code and run it through Email on Acid's code optimizer, it tells me the errors and fixes them.

I have no complaints about Email on Acid. I have always had a great experience with it.

Email on Acid makes email render testing a breeze. By sending a test of your email to your pre-determined EOA email address, you can quickly and easily view how your email will display across dozens of browsers, operating systems, devices, etc.

It is not all-encompassing as far as the number of browsers/OS/devices it accounts for. There are a few that are missing, which I'm hoping will be added as time goes on.

So glad we've been able to help out with your testing process!

It is so easy to upload an html file and see it rendered in all the different email clients. It's also very helpful to be able to see what the email client is actually rendering to compare with what you expect it to render

It would be nice if your email tests didn't get saved automatically. It would also be nice to exclude some email clients from testing if desired

Hi, thank you for your review. We always love hearing from customers and hearing your feedback. I wanted to let you know that EoA does allow you to select only previews you want to review. If you are using our Campaign Precheck tool, you would select "create new email profile" on the Email Previews page and then select only the previews you want to see by checking the box next to them. If you are...

With every user having a different journey, email on acid is a great tool to use to check your HTML coding and layout so your emails look crisp and clean in any viewing platform.

Sometimes it takes a while sent to the email on acid email address a while for it to populate, which makes it a challenge when you want to send an email out immediately.

Email screenshots happen almost instantly. You can automatically trigger an email test by sending a test message to your EoA account. You can configure which email clients to include, and share the results.

This still feels a bit like a 'budget' product, compared to Litmus. The price tag definitely reflects that, and boy am I thankful there IS a cheaper option. So I won't complain too much. But I do sometimes get frustrated that certain screenshots take forever, and sometimes they render badly. Small price to pay for a product that's actually in my budget as a freelancer.

I love the idea behind this software so you can see how your emails will appear in multiple clients, but...

I dislike that this software allows you to see your ememo across multiple clients because then project managers get caught up in details in obscure email clients.

I personally love email on acid. As a consultant who creates a variety of emails, email templates and assets within those emails and links, it is crucial that I can quickly and accurately test how all these links and images are rendering on different browsers or email softwares. Email on Acid allows me to very quickly upload emails that I have in draft form from a variety of marketing platforms. It allows me to quickly test and spot and identity any potential issues with images within the email. It also helps me identify any issues with spacing or coloring. Email on Acid saves me a lot of time and mistakes that could potentially end up being client facing.

I personally do not have any cons with using Email on Acid to test my newly created emails. I have not used any other testing softwares to compare but personally love Email on Acid.

Thanks so much for the review! We're thrilled we've been able to help you save time and be more efficient in your testing process.

L’option qui permet aux utilisateurs de suivre les mail

Particulièrement je n’ai pas trouvé une option non appréciante sur cette app

It was easy to get started. I LOVE being able to just send an email to a "secret" address and get visual results for various email clients for testing. The pricing is fair and straightforward.

Can't seem to figure out how to get help with correcting small code issues or code typos. Would be a nice feature. Perhaps the platform could offer tips based on your html.

Love all the different clients that show how your email will look.

Sometimes it takes awhile for the screen shots of your email to render.

It is easy to upload your email creative to see how it will be viewed on different devices and browsers, helped us improve our design.

There really isn't anything I do not like. Maybe receiving their informational emails? lol

Hi Brittany! Thanks so much for the review. We're glad you find our software easy to use, and we'd love more feedback on your experience with our emails! You can send us a message at helpdesk@emailonacid.com if you'd like to share your thoughts.

It is relatively cheap (cheaper than most competitors), while still having a wide range of email clients to test in. There is a free trial that is more than sufficient to try out all the main functionalities of the application, so you can try it out (and even update some emails) without any costs. The email styling coach was surprisingly useful, since all hints were very concrete and lists the offending line of code.

The list of email client, although extensive, does not have the latest versions of some popular clients (during my work with the application it was missing the latest IBM notes and therefore could not reproduce a known bug).

This cloud-based application allows you to 'test' emails in a number of different email clients. Anyone who has worked on emails knows that email clients are notoriously bad at implementing all features, which means that often your email will look great on one email client, but crappy on another (because you need to use some client-specific attribute). This application allows you to enter HTML and see how it looks in various email clients. It even gives code suggestions to help make the email look uniform over all clients.

The only minor downside I have found is that some older (but still in use) email clients are not present.

Email on Acid is the de facto industry standard for testing marketing emails across devices and browsers. There isn't anything like it. It's pretty simple and easy to use with basically no learning curve.

No real cons, you even get a trial to evaluate the service before beginning to pay. It would be nice if it integrated with email marketing systems so testing could be managed in the same system.

This is a great email litmus test to ensure that your email newsletter is going to show up the same way on your preview as on every device imaginable.

Wasn't really good at telling what an issue was.

Email on acid is a great tool for what it's supposed to do. Gives you previews for all the clients you would possibly need.

It's a fine software but if you're looking for a email preview tool then you should just use litmus.

Coding design heavy email templates is a nightmare. Email on acid does actually make it easier, and certainly lends good confidence to the work you're putting out. There is a huge variety of clients it will emulate and it's super simple to use.

Only that you have to be coding email templates for it to be really useful. It's easy to point frustrations at it - but it's never really Email On Acid's Fault

This is one of the best email services I have used. Especially for the price point, I feel like this is a great, flexible platform that keeps your mind at ease.

The interface can be clunky at times. Although my complaints are at a minimum because its always easy to figure out in the end.
