Frequently asked questions

What's the ideal email subject line length?+

Around 28–50 characters reads best across inboxes — long enough to add context, short enough to avoid truncation on mobile.

Which words trigger spam filters?+

Hype and money words like 'free', 'buy now', 'guaranteed', '100%', and 'risk-free' are common triggers. The tester highlights any it finds in your subject.

Do emojis hurt open rates?+

One well-placed emoji can help stand out, but several can look spammy or render poorly across clients. The tester warns when you use more than two.

Is the subject line tester free?+

Yes. It runs in your browser, needs no sign-up, and never sends your subject line anywhere.
