MailSlurp vs Premailer: What are the differences?
Developers describe MailSlurp as "End-to-end email testing made easy". MailSlurp is an end-to-end email testing service. It has a web-app for managing your account and a REST API for sending and receiving emails from randomly generated email addresses. On the other hand, Premailer is detailed as "Pre-flight for HTML email". For the best HTML e-mail delivery results, CSS should be inline. This is a huge pain and a simple newsletter becomes un-managable very quickly. This script is the solution.
MailSlurp and Premailer can be categorized as "Email Testing" tools.
Some of the features offered by MailSlurp are:
- Create new inboxes during tests
- Send and receive via REST
- Test real functionality
On the other hand, Premailer provides the following key features:
- CSS styles are converted to inline style attributes
- Relative paths are converted to absolute paths
- CSS properties are checked against e-mail client capabilities
MailSlurp and Premailer are both open source tools. Premailer with 2.02K GitHub stars and 334 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than MailSlurp with 13 GitHub stars and 4 GitHub forks.
