RGE Studio
Drag-and-drop email and landing page designer, formerly Beefree
RGE Studio report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for designing on-brand emails your platform will send
RGE Studio, the email builder that used to be Beefree, is for designing good-looking HTML emails and landing pages, with locked brand styles and approvals so a team can't go off-piste. Then it pushes them to HubSpot, Mailchimp or Salesforce. But it doesn't send anything, so you're paying for that platform as well.
Who RGE Studio is for
- Great if your designers build emails outside the platform that sends them
- Handy when several people design for one brand and footers and colours must stay locked
- Good for teams switching email platforms who want to take their designs along
Who RGE Studio is not for
- Skip it if you want one tool to design and send, as this one only designs
- Pricey if you need approvals and workspaces, since they start on Business at $134 a month
- Tight if you're staying free, at 10 designs and 6 exports a month
Why RGE Studio gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyGraded against its own alternatives, since it designs emails rather than sending them. Professional is $25 a month billed yearly ($30 monthly) for 2 users, with extras at $15. That's around Klaviyo's $20 and twice Mailchimp's $13, and you still pay one of them to send.
- CFree plan and trialThe free Starter plan has no end date, but it stops at 10 designs and 6 exports a month and keeps only the last 2 versions of each. Fine for the odd project, not a weekly newsletter for long. There's also a 15-day Business trial.
- DFeaturesNext to its alternatives it does one slice of the job, and does it well: drag-and-drop emails, dark mode preview, synced rows, approvals and pre-send checks. But it doesn't send. Lists, sending and automation all stay in a separate email platform.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Over 1,600 templates help, but it's a web app where the work is building the email itself, then setting up brand styles and the connection to your sending platform.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with one-click export to Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot, Marketo, Braze, Mailchimp and Klaviyo, plus Canva, or plain HTML. No desktop or phone app, so a B at most.

Keep RGE Studio, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace RGE Studio you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 25 of the 27 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher. It costs $300 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Account Engagement and HubSpot among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. RGE Studio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is RGE Studio?
RGE Studio, the Beefree email builder under a new name, is a drag-and-drop tool for designing HTML emails and landing pages, with more than 1,600 templates, brand controls, reviews and approvals. It does not send email: finished designs are pushed to an email platform or CRM such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot or Mailchimp, or exported as HTML.
RGE Studio has a free plan. Paid plans start at $25 per month for up to 2 users, billed yearly ($30 billed monthly). See every plan
Good for
- Marketing teams that design emails outside their sending platform
- Brands and agencies that need approvals and locked brand styles across many designers
- Teams moving between email platforms that want designs they can take along
Worth knowing
- It is an email designer, narrower than the email marketing tools around it: lists, sending and automation stay in a separate email platform or CRM.
- The free Starter plan stops at 10 designs and 6 exports a month and keeps only the last 2 versions of a design.
- Paid plans include 2 users; more cost $15 a month on Professional and $35 on Business, and extra Business workspaces cost $45 a month.
- Beefree renamed this builder RGE Studio and moved it to the Really Good Emails site; Beefree SDK, for embedding the builder in other software, is sold separately.
