Email on Acid Pros and Cons

I've used Email on Acid for years, and find it to be a critical tool for our email marketing program. Viewing and actual rendered version of an email in the most common inbox providers is invaluable when troubleshooting to ensure a perfect user experience for each subscriber. What displays fine in one browser client may not in another and vice versa. EOA takes the guessing out of the equation. What's better is that EOA provides recommendations for how to fix or edit the code to display correctly in many outlying instances. This is very helpful when troubleshooting. We don't use the templates, however they do offer many free downloadable templates which make coding a fluid-responsive email super easy for non-technical marketing folks. I would highly recommend Email on Acid to any email marketing team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside of Email on Acid is the price. Would love it if there was an option for inbox rendering without any other features that could be a cheaper alternative for marketing teams on a very tight budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is affordable based on how many seats you need. The service is straightforward. It helps my team catch issues before campaigns are launched for the public. Offers more tools than builtin services from customer engagement platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Email on Acid is more reasonably priced than competitors like Litmus. There are limited delverability check tools available in the Premium tier of service.

Occassionally there are issues with IOS mobile previews appearing incorrectly in Email on Acid when comparing to a test email on the actual device.

There's also no way to send an email from Email on Acid to a test account. The email needs to be send from another client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
