    Pros
    Our QA process is powerful and we have different stakeholders. All the email marketing issues have been solved and a great deal of our time has been saved through the usage of this app.
    Helps in designing and testing email campaigns. The rich features and wide capabilities make it a perfect product for this domain.
    Overall I have had great success learning how to get the most out of Litmus and I would recommend for just about any marketing and design group.
    Cons
    We had awful metrics for our email campaigns and used litmus to increase those in only a few short weeks.
    There should really be a quick unsub option on each checklist. Spam tests are not quick to set up.
    Cannot unsubscribe test email address directly within Litmus. Since we work on hundreds of accounts, we naturally forget to unsubscribe some test addresses.

    A pricy option for a freelancer or small agency, but Litmus blows the competition away

    Reviewed a year ago

    Litmus vastly increased my efficiency in building and testing email campaigns and email templates.

    Pros

    I was hesitant to switch to a remote editor as my default, but Litmus' instant screenshot testing completely changed my workflow - compared to the "old school" method of sending in an email, it's nothing short of revolutionary. In addition, the product is constantly being improved and updated, and the community and support around it is fantastic.

    Cons

    The pricing is not freelancer/small agency friendly. I am mildly annoyed by the presence of tabs for features that are not included in my account level - in my view, if I can't use it, I shouldn't see it.

    "Pro tool for email marketing!"

    Reviewed 9 months ago

    We have been benefitting from this software through template QA and creating templates that are responsive enough. Our QA process is powerful and we have different stakeholders. All the email marketing issues have been solved and a great deal of our time has been saved through the usage of this app. Our emails now look as if a designer has designed them. This tool has helped us a lot. For us, email testing was a cumbersome job that has now become a piece of cake. Our whole team was able to save plenty of time through this amazing tool.

    Pros

    Litmus is a very collaborative tool for building templates, sorting out the issues in the code, and implementing responsive templates. Modules can be incorporated. Brand designs and colors can be set up. Plus, the performance of your organization can be evaluated. It also helps users to confirm if their email is going to give a cool look on all devices. The builder part of the app is just mind-blowing.

    Cons

    A live builder option that is currently not available should help a lot. For instance, if one is asking for changes in the code, he should be able to see the changes correspondingly to have a better idea of what could be the best option. Apart from that, many features of Litmus do not fit in our workflow. I can understand that many people might find them useful but part of our payments goes to those features which are not assisting us in any way. So, a solution must be found for such discrepancies.

    A must-have for email sends

    Reviewed 3 months ago

    The platform is very versatile which is great when it comes to design and layout. The platform is easy to use - pretty much anyone can use it no matter how uncomfortable you are with platforms or even if you've never used it before. If you want indepth insights into your emails, deliverability, previews etc, this is a must.

    Pros

    I've used this for almost two years and I've found this to be a vital part of my email campaign strategy. All email clients and apps work differently and the way you design an email in one platform may not translate all that well to email clients, so this is a great way of working out how to optimise your emails.The UI is very clear, easy to use and no jargon. Simply send your email to your litmus...

    Cons

    They recently took away their subject line and preview header testing function which I really loved. Plus, it can get a little expensive for this platform, so depending on the size of your organisation, number of emails sent and how experienced you are with email marketing, you do need to take into consideration what level of plan you get. If you're experienced with email marketing (design, layout, optimisation) you probably wouldn't use this as much, but it's still a very useful tool.

    The best platform available for inbox previews

    Reviewed 4 years ago
    Pros

    - Simple, powerful campaign approvals - Easy to use builder - Integrations with ESPs like Emarsys, SFMC, and others - Continually developing new features and enhancing existing ones (send tests directly from Litmus, proofs, convert checklist to builder, access post-rendered HTML, etc.)

    Cons

    - Cannot unsubscribe test email address directly within Litmus. Since we work on hundreds of accounts, we naturally forget to unsubscribe some test addresses. Our test addresses are probably subscribed to 20-30 mailing lists, and it is very time consuming to attempt to unsubscribe from those lists. This results in cluttered checklists and higher than necessary render counts. There should really be a quick unsub option on each checklist. - Spam tests are not quick to set up - Litmus Scope is an essential tool, but it is inconsistent and seems to be a largely ignored feature - No notification system for when campaign approvals are finished
