    Chose Email on Acid
    Email on Acid has more features than Litmus. They offer more email clients to test on and during my time using both tools, had fewer clients that displayed as being down. This was a major time suck especially when testing for specific clients such as Microsoft Outlook.

    Having used both, I definitely prefer Litmus over Email on Acid. It's a little more intuitive in terms of UI, and previews load faster. The integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud also sets it apart further.

    We've tried Email on Acid in the past and Litmus has a much more advanced offering. The user interface is superior and they are constantly innovating and rolling out new features.

    Email on Acid years ago. It really is adoption that's shortchanging our use of Litmus.

    Email on Acid and BrowserStack. Both are good, but great to see Litmus investing, though the Dark mode preview doesn't really help much in builder.

    I prefer the Build feature on Litmus, as it allows me to share those previews with others. In addition, there seems to be a greater selection of available email previews. Finally, Litmus is just easier to use and understand.

    Litmus rises to the top for the education they provide with blog posts, newsletters, and webinars. Can't beat that value - I've learned so much from them about email design.
