How to simulate outlook clients

Its 2021 and this is painful. Is there anyway for me to quickly preview a HTML email?

Litmus is too expensive to justify at the moment. Is there any alternatives?

Edit: As mentionned by @jlapoutre. Send in blue doesn't exist anymore and rebranded service doesn't provide preview in client with free plan.

You can do preview for free with sendinblue.com

Just create an account, then go to template -> new template -> Code your own -> Past your code -> Continue -> Preview -> Preview on different email clients

And the you will see screenshot for various email client:

Of course they not provide all features provide by litmus

On top of Litmus, you can try Email on Acid or Testi.at which provide similar testing services at a lower cost (and with a free trial as well).

If you really want to test at no cost, you can try to use Windows Mail on Windows 10 which use the same rendering engine (Word) as Outlook and match 95% of its behavior. If you're not on Windows 10, you can use a free virtual machine provided by Microsoft on Modern.ie (normally for testing IE and Edge, but it also includes Windows Mail so you can use it that way).
