Transaction email template builder?

Hey,

Anybody got a recommendation for a good transactional email template builder? I use Mailgun for sending my emails but I want to quickly design nice looking emails that'll be shown in email clients.

Preferably not as expensive as Litmus Basic subscription :)

  1. 1

    I ended up lightly customizing the stock templates on Postmark.

    I previously used Sendgrid and Mailgun, which as I recall, had decent & non-existent (respectively) built-in libraries of templates.

    Ultimately - I decided these transactional emails didn't need a ton of fancy branding. Signup completed, password recent, billing confirmation; I decided nobody is going to cancel their plan, or, upgrade tiers, on anything remotely related to the design strength of these transactional emails. Also, given the limitations of HTML email, too easy to screw these up by "getting cute".

    Basically the other qualities of Postmark were way more important, and I quickly moved on to other more pressing needs in my product. HTH!
