Litmus is a user-friendly and intuitive tool. Its interface is easy to navigate, we mainly use Litmus for email testing and monitoring performance. The email tracking feature allows us to track read engagement and identify the top email clients used by our customers. This insight helps us optimize our eDMs to ensure the best possible experience for our subscribers.
We use Litmus to streamline email testing, improve personalization, and stay up to date on best practices. With 40–50 emails going out weekly, it’s saved our designer a ton of time by automating QA across devices. We're starting to explore more personalization features like live polls to help boost engagement, though we’ve run into some language limitations. The webinars and articles have also been super helpful—especially around deliverability—and have given us clear steps to improve our email performance.
Pros
We haven’t explored the personalization features in depth yet, aside from using the Add-to-Calendar option, but we're excited to dig in further. Tools like live polls offer an easy way to boost engagement in our product marketing emails, and we see a lot of potential in using these templates to enhance personalization moving forward.
Litmus’ continuing education resources have been really helpful. I recently read an article on email deliverability that offered practical insights my team can apply moving forward. I especially appreciate how Litmus uses real examples and stats from the brands they work with—it makes the content feel actionable and relevant.
Online Training.
Cons
Would love to see the font library expanded to support languages like Chinese, especially for personalized features. Adding more language support would make these features more usable across our markets.
The platform isn’t as intuitive as I’d like. It might just be me, but having a quick pop-up guide or occasional tips on how to use certain features would be super helpful—especially for newer users or anyone not in it every day.
It would be super helpful to have a built-in image resizing option in Litmus when file sizes are too large to upload. This would save us time jumping between tools.
Likelihood to Recommend
I’ve been really impressed with Litmus, especially the personalization features. Being able to easily plug in tools like sentiment trackers right into our emails has helped us gather valuable third-party data without a lot of extra work. I also really appreciate the ongoing learning resources—they offer tons of free webinars and articles that are actually useful. I recently read one on email deliverability that broke down specific data and gave me clear, actionable steps to improve how our emails are hitting inboxes. It’s more than just a testing tool—it’s become a go-to resource in our email marketing toolkit.
Litmus is an exceptional tool that I have been using in my career in email marketing for over a decade. It is excellent for catching potential formatting errors that vary from email provider to email provider, tracking metrics, and ensuring that you adhere to ADA compliance and best practices. When running an email program with a high volume output of sends, it is essential for our work that every email goes through Litmus review and includes tracking pixels.
Pros
Helps adhere to ADA compliance and best practices.
Gives meaningful metrics.
QAs emails for different platforms/email providers.
Cons
Some of the previews can be outdated.
Likelihood to Recommend
Anyone running an email program of any size should use Litmus to ensure quality and best practices and retain meaningful metrics.
We used Litmus for proofing all of our customer communications from basic formatted emails to more complex digital newsletters. Before Litmus our proofing process was very manual and inefficient as we would email edits back and forth to one another. Oftentimes requested edits would get lost in email threads, but with Litmus it is so easy to for the proofer and the person asking for review. Comments and replies are easy to follow and well organized. And uploading new versions of emails is a breeze as opposed to bogging down your colleagues' inboxes.
Pros
Ease of use
Provide tips to make emails more accessible
Proofing for all types of email communications
Cons
Prevent invited users from posting comments on behalf of another individual.
Likelihood to Recommend
Litmus is well suited for proofing needs by many individuals across the company or within a team. A scenario where Litmus is less appropriate for us is for feedback polls. We loved the simplicity of the poll, but it would be great to have control over whether the recipient sees the results or not.
We develop email templates for clients that are compliant with local accessibility standards. We use it to create the components of the template for them to use, rather than ongoing testing of campaign emails.
Pros
Wide range of devices
Easy to use
Integration with SFMC
Cool add-on features such as countdown timer
Cons
Significantly more expensive than competitors
Likelihood to Recommend
It's more appropriate for large enterprise businesses that can afford it.

Our work requires sending emails to clients on a periodic basis. Depending on the type of client, we draft emails with non-trivial html embedded in the email.
Litmus allows us to test the visual result of our html generation across different email platforms. It is especially useful for unusual device/email client combinations.
Pros
Litmus can accurately simulate the results of email html across different email clients.
Litmus' UI is really easy to use, where we can often test adjustments before committing our code.
Litmus makes it really easy for our dev teams to collaborate. We can easily share email drafts to allow others to review and test.
Cons
I wish I could turn off the auto-preview on save. It would be nice to have a button instead.
Likelihood to Recommend
Litmus is useful for testing email drafts across multiple devices/email clients.

Litmus is used to build email campaigns and content blocks in a much safer and more efficient way than using an esp. It’s great for seeing when code is broken, what lines of code correspond to each snippet or element within an email. Litmus is also used for its software features such as tracking read and engagement times and including snippets such as timers.
Pros
Identifying broken code
Tracking engagement time
Easy integration between litmus and other platforms
Cons
Loading speeds

CRM is a great use case and I have preferred this to other applications such as dreamweaver
My team primarily uses Litmus to ensure emails render correctly across email clients. I like that we can get a quick view of all the possible combinations of platforms, operating systems, and versions. We also use Litmus' Personalized Content. I've used content like scratch offs" boost engagement and make email fun. I've also used personalized content create a sense of urgency via count down timers.

Litmus is great for making sure emails render correctly
Litmus is not great for deliverability monitoring. I could be wrong and would like to learn more. From what I saw there is limited information available and mostly just links to articles. Deliverability is top of mind and critical so I would like to see a more robust tool.
We use Litmus to test our emails before they go out. Since our emails have many moving parts and are stylized, we want to make sure they look right on every platform and screen. One of our final quality assurance steps is to run them through Litmus to ensure everyone in our audience sees our messages as intended.
Pros
Email testing.
Quality control checking.

Cons
Grouping by light/dark mode.

Litmus works great for email testing and quality control checks, especially when you're sending messages to a broad audience. Some of our audience members are on Outlook, and some only check Gmail on their phones; either way, we want to ensure they get the same experience, and Litmus helps us ensure that is happening.
