What it is

Serious Email Studio is a web-based HTML email builder and template editor for creating and exporting campaign messages. Its visual builder assembles sections with blocks for headers, text, images, buttons, columns, dividers, and footers, using table-safe spacing. Users can edit copy, upload or replace images, make common changes in an inspector, or edit scoped HTML. Approved sections can be saved for reuse, while templates can be grouped by project. Desktop and mobile previews come with checks for schema issues, HTML validity, and email compatibility. Test sends, recent-recipient management, and confirmation for outside recipients are also available. Finished emails can be copied as rendered HTML or downloaded with their images in a ZIP; paid accounts add Pardot-friendly export options. Studio is focused on building and exporting rather than general managed sending, which the maker describes as private and invite-only. The Free plan includes one user, three projects, and ten templates. Paid plans start at $12 a month.
