## Key features

- **Drag-and-drop email builder:** Build with rows and content blocks, adjust a mobile layout separately, preview dark mode, and add custom HTML, merge tags and display conditions.
- **Templates and landing pages:** Start from more than 1,600 email and landing page templates, turn a page into an email and back in one click, and host pages on a custom subdomain.
- **Brand controls and synced rows:** Set brand colors and fonts once, lock rows such as legal footers, and use synced rows that update in every design when edited.
- **Reviews and approvals:** Comment on a design, run it through an approval workflow and lock it once approved; Enterprise adds multi-step approvals.
- **Export to your sending platform:** Push designs in one click to Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Account Engagement, HubSpot, Marketo, Braze, Mailchimp or Klaviyo, or copy the HTML or download a ZIP.
- **AI assistant and Smart Check:** AI drafts copy and alt text and checks typos and translations; Smart Check flags missing links, missing alt text, low contrast and oversized files before export.

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Graded 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** The 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.
- **Features: D.** Next 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web 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 it, 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.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Account Engagement and HubSpot among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
