Email Subject Line Tester
Score an email subject line, preview it in a desktop and phone inbox, and catch spam-filter phrases before you hit send.
What Is the Email Subject Line Tester?
The Email Subject Line Tester scores a subject line with transparent, rule-based checks: length against inbox cutoffs, word count, common spam-filter phrases, all-caps words, exclamation marks, emoji count, merge-tag personalization and specificity. A live inbox preview shows exactly how the subject and preview text sit together on desktop and where a phone truncates the line. Everything runs locally as you type.
How It Works
Type the subject and optional preview text. The desktop and phone inbox mockups update live — phones cut off near 41 characters — and the score panel lists every check with what to fix. Flagged spam phrases appear as chips so you can reword them.
When to Use It
Use it while drafting newsletters, product announcements and outreach, before the send button makes the decision permanent.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is The Score A Deliverability Guarantee?
- No. The checks are editorial guidance based on widely observed inbox behavior. Deliverability also depends on sender reputation, authentication and list quality, which no subject line tool can see.
- Where Does The Spam Phrase List Come From?
- It is a curated list of phrases long associated with junk filtering — urgency clichés, money claims and pressure language. One match is a caution; several together are the real problem.
- How Long Should A Subject Line Be?
- 30 to 50 characters keeps the whole promise visible in most clients; many phones truncate around 41. The preview shows the truncation instead of making you guess.
- Is My Subject Line Uploaded Anywhere?
- No. Analysis and previews run entirely in your browser.
