More reasons to choose MailSlurp

Comparing Litmus alternatives? Choose MailSlurp for flexible pricing, real-client previews and the checks that take a campaign from first review to ready to send.

Start reviewing sooner. See what changed.

Open completed client screenshots while the remaining targets finish. Compare Outlook with Gmail, or put the corrected campaign beside a previous run to spot layout, image and dark-mode differences. Saved target profiles make the next campaign easy to repeat. See the comparison workflow.

Bring the review to Slack or Microsoft Teams

Send render-status notifications to your team's channels and share a link to the results. Keep comments on the run or the affected client screenshot, then resolve them when the fix is ready. Use team access for colleagues and share links for reviewers. Connect your review channel.

Catch the mistakes a screenshot can miss

A good-looking button can still lead to a broken page. MailSlurp Email Audit checks links, images, unresolved template values, accessibility and HTML support. Review the findings, fix the campaign and rerun the checks alongside your device previews.

Check the destination as well as the design

Pair previews with inbox placement testing to see inbox, Promotions and spam results from the provider mailboxes in your test. Investigate sender issues with domain health monitoring for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX and blocklists. Each check answers a separate question before you send.

Start without code. Automate when you're ready.

Keep building campaigns in your existing email platform and send a test to your MailSlurp render address. Your developers can use the API and SDKs to start runs and retrieve results, then add email and SMS journey tests for verification codes, password resets and notifications.

Look right. Read right. Reach the inbox.

Check the campaign your customers will receive, from the way it looks to the links they click and the folder it reaches.

Switching from Litmus?

A few practical answers before you test your first campaign.

Can I use MailSlurp as a Litmus alternative for campaign previews?

Yes. Send a test campaign to a MailSlurp render inbox and compare screenshots across supported email clients and devices. Review layout, images, buttons and light or dark modes, then share the results with your team. Start in the dashboard without writing code. Explore device previews.

Can I keep using HubSpot, Mailchimp or Klaviyo?

Yes. Keep building campaigns in your email service provider and send a test to your MailSlurp render address. You can also import an .eml file. The provider guides show how to send and review the delivered message. Follow the HubSpot preview guide.

Can I check Outlook Classic, New Outlook and dark mode?

Yes. Select the relevant Outlook, mobile, desktop and light or dark targets in the current target selector. Compare the same message across those clients, fix the template and rerun it. Client-specific results make issues such as missing backgrounds or low-contrast logos easier to spot. Compare Outlook previews.

Does an email preview show whether my campaign goes to spam?

Use device previews to check appearance and a separate inbox placement test to see where the message lands. MailSlurp reports inbox, promotions or spam outcomes from the provider mailboxes in your placement test, so you can review both before a campaign. See inbox placement testing.

How can I compare Litmus alternatives with a real campaign?

Send one of your own campaigns through your existing email platform. Choose the clients your audience uses, review the screenshots, correct an issue and compare the next run. Try the sharing and notification steps with a teammate, then compare the preview allowance with your expected campaigns and reruns. Our HubSpot guide includes seven saved desktop results from one actual campaign to show what a review looks like. See the HubSpot campaign results.

Can our QA team automate email tests as well?

Yes. MailSlurp APIs can create preview runs from received emails or imported .eml files and retrieve the results. Programmable inboxes also let your team receive verification emails, extract OTPs and password-reset links, and test the complete customer journey in Playwright, Cypress or CI. Read the device render API guide.

See your next campaign before your customers do.

Send one test email. Compare the clients your audience uses. Give your team a clear view of what needs fixing before launch.
