From today there's a more affordable way to pay for a Litmus account: 24 hour passes.
24 hour passes are perfect if you only need to run compatibility tests of your web sites or email newsletters occasionally. There's no monthly commitment and the price is very reasonable. The best part is: you can perform an unlimited number of tests during those 24 hours! We're delighted to be able to offer the full power of Litmus on a pay-as-you-go basis.
You can get your first 24 hour pass using our new 2-minute sign up process.
We've had a lot of people ask us to offer some kind of per-test pricing for Litmus. We didn't like this idea, since we feel that the testing process by its nature is incremental and iterative. Try changing something, run a test, change something else, run a test, etc. To make Litmus truly fit into people's workflow it needs to do two essential things: perform tests super-fast; and not limit the number of tests you can run.
Our answer to this was the 24 hour pass. You can run an unlimited number of tests in the 24 hour period. We anticipate people using it to test a single web page template or email newsletter. 24 hours should be adequate for getting a single design looking great across all the different browser/email client environments. If you need to test more than a few designs a month, you're better off on one of our subscription plans, but we feel the new passes will cater for people who need to perform testing less frequently.
Thanks to everyone who's sent us feedback over the past few months. We do listen, and most of the work we do is based upon the feedback we're getting from clients. As usual, let us know your thoughts in the comments!

No, that's a very clever idea. Suddenly I'm very interested. Something for Sunday perhaps. Well done guys, I hope this pays off for you.

Not sure how long you guys have been around (just heard about this site from Fireball), but I've been looking for something like this for quite a while! I like the idea for the day passes, too.
It's painful jumping from designing sites on my Mac, then having to go to my fiancees PC to see if IE isn't effing it up...
I'll be checking out your service soon! Thanks!

Best $20 I've spent in a while; squashed a couple of longstanding layout bugs which have persisted beyond all reason due to my lack of Windows access (and the fact that the other browser screenshot services I've tried either didn't work or cost more than I wanted to pay for a quickie). Grazie.

Great pricing options for smaller operations, thanks a lot.
