Email marketing, testing & tracking

About Litmus

Litmus in an email development tool for marketing teams. Litmus allows marketers from companies of all sizes to build, preview, test and track their email campaigns. With Litmus, teams can resell, markup & add value to all of their client engagements.

Litmus's web-based drag & drop email editor enables teams to build their own emails from scratch or select one from Litmus's gallery of fully customizable templates. Changes made to emails can't be lost thanks to Litmus's timeline view. Contributors can see who made changes and when, and restore previous versions at any time.

Users can preview emails simultaneously in mobile and desktop as they build them, ensuring that they're optimized for both dimensions. HTML changes can be applied and viewed immediately and in real-time, eliminating the need for "guessing and checking".

After building and previewing emails, users can send them to Litmus for rendering testing with Litmus's one-click email testing. Litmus's comprehensive spam testing then checks your authentication, IP addresses & reputation and provides feedback and scores for ISP and corporate filters to ensure that your emails reach inboxes.

Once emails are sent, Litmus's engagement summary reports to users on not just open rate, but whether the emails were deleted, glanced at, skimmed over or properly read. Geolocation tells users where emails were opened, too.


Key benefits of Litmus

  • With Litmus, email campaigns can be previewed across over 40 email clients and devices. View emails with images on or off, see how they'll look in a notification box, and realistically scroll through your email on a mobile device.

  • Litmus's spam testing feature not only generates a spam score, it also explains this score and gives actionable advice on how email content can be adapted to improve delivery rates.

  • See who read and who deleted your emails, know what device they used and whether they printed or forwarded it. Understand engagement levels, client popularity and geolocation with Litmus's email analytics.

  • Litmus works alongside existing email software such as MailChimp, Silverpop, VerticalResponse, CampaignMonitor and ExactTarget.

  • In addition to email previews, Litmus provides cross-browser page testing so users can see how their URLs appear in popular browsers.

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

    Reviewed on 2022/03/17

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

    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.
