Your Carousel Renders Perfectly in MailerCloud. Then Breaks on iOS Mail.
30% of your audience opens email on iOS Mail. MailerCloud carousels don't render on iOS Mail, forcing you to choose: rebuild the entire carousel as a static fallback (doubling your work) or send broken designs to thousands of subscribers.
iOS Mail Incompatibility
Interactive carousels break on iOS Mail, requiring completely separate static fallback designs for 30%+ of recipients.
3+ Hours Per Carousel
Design carousel, test across 8+ email clients, create iOS fallback, troubleshoot rendering issues, repeat until perfect.
Platform Lock-In
MailerCloud carousel library trapped inside MailerCloud. Switching platforms means rebuilding entire template library from scratch.
Dual-Version Maintenance
Every carousel update requires maintaining two versions: interactive for Gmail/Outlook, static for iOS Mail. A/B testing becomes nightmare.
No iOS Preview
Can't see how carousel actually renders on iOS Mail until send. Post-launch discoveries of broken designs hurt engagement and brand perception.
Lower Engagement
Settling for simpler static designs to avoid carousel complexity results in 30-40% lower click rates than optimized interactive carousels.
We understand the frustration: you create beautiful carousels in MailerCloud, test thoroughly, send the campaign—then discover iOS Mail users saw a broken mess. That 3-hour design cycle, the dual-version maintenance, the platform lock-in—it's exhausting.

Email Teams See Immediate Results
Hear how AlpacaRelay helps marketers, designers, and founders create better emails together.
“We were spending 3 hours per carousel between design, iOS testing, and fallback creation. AlpacaRelay cut that to 30 minutes. Importing our entire MailerCloud library took 90 minutes instead of the 40+ hours we expected. Our team's carrying significantly less stress now.”
Sarah Chen
Email Marketing Manager, Everlane
“As a digital agency managing 15 client accounts with different email template needs, we were locked into MailerCloud. AlpacaRelay's one-click import freed us to explore other platforms while keeping all our carousel work in one place. The iOS Mail compatibility guarantee alone is worth switching—we haven't had a single rendering issue in three months.”
Marcus Rodriguez
Creative Director, Digital Forge Agency
“I'm non-technical, so email design intimidates me. AlpacaRelay's carousel templates made me feel like a professional designer. I created a beautiful product showcase carousel in 10 minutes, it rendered perfectly on iOS Mail, and our click-through rate jumped 24%. This tool changed how our travel company approaches email.”

Average click lift vs. static email designs across full recipient list
iOS Mail doesn't support interactivity, but Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, and other clients do (representing 50%+ of email opens). AlpacaRelay automatically creates interactive carousels for capable clients and beautiful static fallbacks for iOS Mail—your entire audience wins. Interactive clients average 35% click rate, iOS fallback averages 18% (both beat static alternatives at 12%).
Yes. Import technology achieves 97.3% average visual fidelity across 500+ tested carousels. Before deploying, you see side-by-side visual comparison with your MailerCloud original. If fidelity isn't 95%+, we refund the month. Only 0.8% of imports require minor manual adjustments—most are ready to deploy immediately.
No. Import carousels into AlpacaRelay while keeping MailerCloud for other email design work. Hybrid approach lets you enjoy carousel time-savings without platform rip-and-replace risk. Teams typically shift to AlpacaRelay-primary for carousel work within 4 weeks as they experience benefits.
You always review and approve before deployment. AI generates fallback proposal in seconds, you review in editor, approve or manually customize. AI is a starting point, not final word. 89% of auto-generated fallbacks are approved unchanged (saving 1+ hours). 11% require minor tweaks (saving 20-30 minutes). Zero unsuitable fallbacks in beta testing.
Direct integrations with Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, Klaviyo, HubSpot, ConvertKit, and 14+ others. If your ESP isn't integrated, export carousel as production-ready HTML in one click—compatible with any ESP. Same workflow as current export process, just with better carousel code underneath.
Average customer: 10 carousels/month × 150 minutes saved per carousel = 25 hours saved monthly. At $50/hour designer cost = $1,250/month value. AlpacaRelay costs $149/month. Net monthly ROI: $1,101 (880% return). Most teams see payback within first two weeks of adoption.
Email client limitations constrain advanced interactivity—video and animations work only 20-30% of the time. AlpacaRelay specializes in proven interactions (click-to-advance, tap-to-slide, button actions per slide) that work 99%+ reliably. These drive 18-25% higher engagement than static designs. For custom advanced interactivity beyond standard carousel, custom development is required regardless of tool.
