In their own words
Blocks Edit
Blocks Edit lets teams visually edit HTML designs for websites, blogs, landing pages, marketing emails, digital forms and other content. Users can import an HTML design and set up editable areas with a visual theme editor or HTML classes and attributes. The editor supports inline changes, drag-and-drop components, and live preview and editing for mobile and dark mode. Team workflows include commenting and review, role-based permissions, revision history, a shared content library and campaign checklists. Review checklists can flag missing or broken links, and the service describes automated image formatting. Blocks Edit works with HTML, CSS and JavaScript platforms, can publish to a chosen host or CDN, and can export emails to service providers. It helps create email content but does not send messages to customers. A free plan offers solo editing and 5 GB storage. The listed Integrations plan costs $10 a month for each integration; a Yearly plan is listed at $20 a year. Additional storage is $25 a month per 250 GB.
Mail Designer 365
Mail Designer 365 is a Mac app for designing and sending branded email campaigns. Its visual drag-and-drop editor builds responsive newsletters from text, images, buttons, links, and layout blocks without code. The gallery lists 291 newsletter templates, and the app creates a mobile-optimized design version with a preview. Campaign tools include scheduling, contact import, audience segmentation, and reports on opens, clicks, unsubscribes, and bounces. Contacts can be imported with a Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor API key; the API can populate design placeholders and send messages automatically, including from FileMaker workflows. Each API delivery uses 25 stamps, while regular campaign delivery starts at one stamp per recipient. Browser participants, including Windows users, can preview and discuss drafts, but shared-design editing requires the Mac app and a plan. The free Karlsfeld plan includes 500 stamps monthly and up to 20 editable designs; designs beyond that can be viewed but not edited or saved. Mail Designer Essentials costs $5 a month, and a 7-day trial is listed.
