Roles and permissions are available on Professional, Business, and Enterprise; Business and Enterprise also support multiple workspaces. Starter is free, while Professional costs $30 a month, billed $25/mo billed yearly. RGE Studio creates content, but sending, automation, and data remain in an ESP or CRM.

Beefree (now RGE Studio) in depth

Read the full write-up

RGE Studio, previously Beefree, is a web-based editor for email and landing-page design. It is best suited to designers and teams building work for an existing ESP or CRM. The key trade-off is a strong creation and export workflow without campaign sending or automation.

Overview

RGE Studio keeps design separate from delivery: sending, automation and customer data stay in an ESP or CRM. That is a sensible division for teams already working in those systems, but not for buyers seeking one product to create and run campaigns. The Beefree builder evolved into RGE Studio in 2026.

Its appeal rests on a broad template library, reusable brand elements and several ways to move finished designs into other platforms. The free Starter plan is useful for occasional work, but its design and export caps make it a limited home for regular production.

Key features

The drag-and-drop editor includes more than 1,700 email and landing-page templates. That gives designers many starting points; custom fonts and code editing offer ways to move beyond the template’s defaults when a brand needs closer control.

Saved rows can be reused, and synced rows update across designs when changed. This helps teams keep shared content consistent across projects, provided they maintain the source material. Unlimited reusable content blocks begin with Professional.

Designs can leave the editor through native connectors, copied HTML or downloadable ZIP files. Native destinations include Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Account Engagement, HubSpot, Adobe Marketo Engage, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor, Brevo, MailUp, Zoho, Slate, Gmail, Outlook, Amazon SES and SendGrid. A custom connector can support exports to platforms outside that list, giving teams another route when a native integration is unavailable.

Smart Check flags issues such as missing links or subject lines and oversized images or HTML files. The AI Assistant can add alt text and identify typos and translation issues. These checks can catch common production problems, though the tool still depends on people to review the result.

Structured semantic HTML, mobile design mode and dark-mode preview support more considered output. The platform aligns with WCAG 2.2 accessibility principles. Beefree's Trust Center lists EU-US DPF, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

Plans include the Help Center, Beefree Academy, email support and two-factor authentication. Higher tiers add premium support and Okta SSO. Professional, Business and Enterprise include user roles and permissions; multiple workspaces are reserved for Business and Enterprise.

Pricing

Starter is free ($0 billed) and includes up to 10 designs, six exports per month, a landing-page builder and a custom subdomain. It suits light or occasional use, but the export quota is a meaningful constraint for anyone producing designs regularly.

Professional costs $30 a month, or $25/mo billed yearly. It adds unlimited project folders, unlimited reusable content blocks, two seats and an AI writing assistant. For a small team that needs shared content and more room to organize work, it is the practical step up; it does not include the advanced brand controls or multiple workspaces of Business.

Business costs $160 a month, or $134/mo billed yearly. Advanced brand controls, two workspaces, approval workflows and a QA assistant make it the better fit for teams with review steps or separate work areas. Enterprise has custom pricing and adds multi-step approval workflows, advanced user restrictions, a customer success manager, Okta SSO and real-time third-party integrations.

The pricing model is freemium, with a free plan and a 15-day trial. The plan details identify two included editor seats; Professional also explicitly includes two seats.

Platforms

RGE Studio runs on the web. Teams export designs to their chosen delivery platforms rather than sending campaigns from the editor itself.

Who it's for

Designers and marketing teams that need speed, brand consistency, customization and collaboration are the clearest fit, especially when their ESP or CRM already handles sending and automation. A solo or occasional user can start with Starter, while recurring team workflows point toward Professional or Business. Buyers who need an all-in-one email marketing system should choose a tool that includes delivery and automation instead.

Pros and cons

Pros: More than 1,700 templates, custom fonts and code editing combine a fast starting point with room for brand-specific work.

Pros: Synced rows and broad export routes help teams reuse design elements and carry work into many established ESPs and CRMs.

Pros: Smart Check, AI-assisted alt text and typo checks, and accessibility-oriented output support quality review.

Cons: Sending, automation and data management remain in a separate ESP or CRM, so RGE Studio cannot replace those systems.

Cons: Starter caps users at 10 designs and six exports monthly, which limits its usefulness for ongoing production.

Cons: Multiple workspaces require Business or Enterprise, putting that organizational feature beyond the lower paid tier.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Email Design Software. Choose Canary instead if a free inbox with unified inbox features, read receipts, snooze and pin, and email templates is the priority. Mail Designer 365 is another option to consider. Dragble offers a free tier with three projects, 10 GB storage and 10 core content blocks, while MJML is an open-source, MIT-licensed alternative with a free REST API. Unlayer provides free email, page, popup and document builders. Blocks Edit, EmailBuilder.ai and MailForge are also alternatives to compare.

Verdict

Choose RGE Studio if your team needs a dedicated, collaborative environment for branded email and landing-page design, and already has an ESP or CRM for delivery. Its reusable content, template range and export options are the case for it; its dependence on separate sending and automation tools is the reason to look elsewhere.

Verdict

RGE Studio focuses on content creation, reusable design elements, and export options rather than email delivery or automation. Its free Starter plan has design and export limits; paid plans add collaboration and other capabilities.
