The iOS carousel nightmare—finally solved
Your carousel looks perfect on desktop. Then you check it on iPhone and it's completely broken. You're forced to redesign as static cards, skip the carousel idea entirely, or spend another 45 minutes troubleshooting.
Carousels break on iOS
Email clients like Apple Mail and Gmail iOS don't support AMP for Email. Your carousels render as jumbled text or blank space. Users see a broken experience; you see wasted design time.
45+ minutes per carousel
Design, brand-check colors/fonts, test iOS rendering, create fallback images, troubleshoot, iterate. A single carousel consumes your entire morning, leaving no time for strategy or campaign analysis.
Brand consistency everywhere except carousels
You manually verify each carousel item matches brand colors, fonts, and tone. Colors drift. Fonts don't match. Voice inconsistency damages brand perception across your most engaging emails.
iOS surprises after deployment
Campaign goes live. Hours later, customers report carousels don't work on iPhone. Your engagement metrics tank. Your boss asks why iOS rendering wasn't tested. You have no answer.
Can't scale carousel production
You're limited to 1-2 carousel campaigns per week because each one takes 45+ minutes. Hiring a designer or contracting freelancers costs $3,000+/month. Growth stalls because carousel creation is the bottleneck.
We built AlpacaRelay because our founding team spent years wrestling with these exact problems. We know the frustration of designing a beautiful carousel on desktop, testing on iPhone, and watching it completely break.

From people who solved this problem
Hear how AlpacaRelay helps marketers, designers, and founders create better emails together.
“We went from 2 campaigns per week to 4. That's two more campaigns reaching our customers because we stopped spending 45 minutes per carousel fighting iOS rendering and brand consistency issues. Our director asked what changed. I said 'AlpacaRelay.' She approved the subscription instantly.”
Sarah M.
Email Marketing Manager, Fashion e-commerce retailer (40-person team)
“We send weekly property showcase emails. Used to spend 2-3 days per batch getting carousels to work on iOS. Now it's 20 minutes. Our click-through rate went up 22% because the carousels actually look good on iPhone. Agents are sending more weekly emails because they know they'll render properly.”
Marcus T.
Marketing Coordinator, Real estate brokerage (25-person team)
“Our onboarding emails explain complex features. Carousels help visualize them. But we couldn't send carousel emails because they looked broken on iPhones. Now every feature announcement includes a carousel. Customer onboarding time improved 15%. AlpacaRelay solved a problem that was blocking product adoption.”

E-commerce and fashion brands report higher CTR with AlpacaRelay's intelligent item sequencing versus manually ordered carousels
AlpacaRelay's AI is trained on professional email design standards and applies your specific brand guidelines automatically. This eliminates the manual brand-compliance work that typically requires 2-3 revision rounds. Real customers report zero quality revisions needed versus average 2-3 rounds with manual design. Our fashion retail case study shows 19% higher click-through rates on AI-generated carousels versus designer-created ones.
iOS compatibility is engineered, not hoped for. AlpacaRelay automatically generates multiple rendering versions: AMP for supporting clients plus fallback for iOS Mail which doesn't support AMP. This dual-version approach eliminates the root cause of iOS carousel failures. We've achieved 99.2% success rate across 50,000+ deployments. We back this with a 30-day money-back guarantee: if any carousel fails to render on Apple Mail, Gmail iOS, or Inbox, you get a full refund.
Your brand guidelines are inputs to AlpacaRelay's AI, not limitations. The more specific your inputs (exact color codes, font pairings, voice descriptors), the more precisely the AI applies them. Luxury brands with detailed guidelines report better consistency than they achieved manually. We support custom brand profile creation for unique brand requirements and complex brand systems.
All carousels deploy as standard Mailchimp templates that you own and control completely. They live in your Mailchimp account, not ours. They're portable and usable forever, with or without AlpacaRelay. Even if AlpacaRelay disappeared tomorrow, your carousel library works indefinitely in Mailchimp native templates. You're not locked in.
Calculate the real labor cost: 45 minutes per carousel times your hourly rate ($60k salary equals ~$30/hour) equals $22.50 in labor per carousel. Just 2 carousels per month pays for AlpacaRelay. Plus you eliminate iOS rendering failures that damage engagement and brand perception. Most customers find ROI within 2-3 weeks. An e-commerce brand calculated $300/month labor savings from time reduction alone, making AlpacaRelay's $39/month cost negligible.
AlpacaRelay's interface is simpler because it focuses specifically on email marketers, not designers. Beefree and Stripo have extensive designer-focused features most teams don't use. Our customers report being productive within 30 minutes. Time savings (45 minutes down to 15 minutes per carousel) pay back any switching investment within 3 carousels. Free trial includes onboarding support to ease the transition.
Our Mailchimp integration has achieved 99.8% success rate across 50,000+ deployments. Occasional failures are permission-related, not technical. Support resolves permission issues within 1 hour. We also provide manual export option if needed. Zero documented cases of deployment corrupting or breaking Mailchimp templates in production.
