The rise of no-code email design tools has made it astronomically easier for anyone to create professional campaigns without any knowledge of HTML or email development.
Beefree and Stripo are among the best email design platforms in the game. But how do the two compare, and which one is a better fit for your business? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for.
The battle of the user-friendly editors for email design
When it comes to email design, Beefree and Stripo are leading solutions enabling users, regardless of design skills, to craft engaging campaigns easily.
Both editors are sophisticated and advanced, allowing you to drag and drop multiple content types such as images, videos, banners, forms, GIFs, and more. For more advanced users and needs, both allow adding HTML blocks for interactive elements such as countdown timers, polls, and questionnaires.
Stripo takes this one step further by pre-building customizable gamification interactive modules. These modules allow users to easily create engaging content while Stripo generates the HTML code for any email editor (including Beefree).
Email template designs
Both platforms offer a wide range of templates that vary in industry, usage, and season. Beefree has slightly more templates, with a library of 1,700+ templates compared to Stripo’s 1,500+.
It’s worth noting that Stripo only offers email templates, while Beefree’s catalog also includes landing pages. Within the Beefree catalog, you can find matching email and landing page pairings and curated collections for specific use cases and industries.
A differentiating factor of Beefree is its Design Community. Within the template catalog, you can see who made your favorite templates and quickly source other templates from that designer. The Beefree Designer Marketplace also allows you to hire a trusted designer for all your email creation needs.

Beefree’s landing page builder
Unlike Stripo, Beefree offers a landing page builder. Much like their email builder, the landing page builder allows users to design professional-looking landing pages without coding or technical expertise.
The landing page and email builder work together seamlessly, allowing users to generate a landing page from an email with one click and vice versa. This makes creating cohesive multi-channel communications effortless.
Users can then host landing pages within Beefree or export to their preferred sending platform.

Integration capabilities
Email builders are excellent tools, but they work best when seamlessly integrating with your existing tech stack. Stripo and Beefree offer a variety of ways to export your emails to your sending platform of choice, including:
- Downloading HTML
- copying and pasting HTML,
- or downloading as a PDF
However, one of the most convenient ways of exporting lies in their integrations with many of the top email service providers, such as Mailchimp, Gmail, HubSpot, and Outlook.
As of June 7th, Stripo has integrations with over 80 ESPs, while Beefree only has 16 integrations. While the difference in numbers is drastic, this does not mean that you can only send emails from Beefree to 16 platforms. Beefree offers a “Custom Connector” option that leverages Webhooks and Zapier to send your design’s HTML to any ESP, CRM, MAP, and everything in between.
Stripo also has a similar capability.
Artificial intelligence
Stripo and Beefree have been early adopters of AI. Both solutions have a built-in AI assistant to optimize email copy, but they have a few differentiating features. For instance, Beefree’s AI assistant works on image ALT text and CTAs, while Stripo’s can be used for writing subject lines and preheaders.
Pricing and plans: What you need to know
Cost is a factor for any business. Both Beefree and Stripo have a free plan with limited abilities, as well as, paid options with growing capabilities.
Free vs. paid plans
The limitations of the free plan for both platforms vary.
For instance, Stripo limits access to its template catalog, while Beefree offers full access for all plans. Some other limitations of Stripo’s free plan include:
- 5 test emails per day,
- 4 exports per month with limits on its exporting options.
- 1 user
Even within their free plan, Stripo allows users advanced customization options, such as a Gmail promo builder that allows recipients to see the promotion's value before they open their emails.
On the other hand, Beefree’s free plan offers:
- 6 exports per month with no limitations on integrations
- Unlimited users
Given that Beefree prides itself on being a collaborative platform, even with the free plan, users get access to robust features such as design-specific commenting.
Stripo’s paid plans are as follows:
- Basic: $15/m
- Medium: $45/m
- Pro: $95/m
Additionally, they offer a “Prime” subscription. While there is not much information on what this option entails or its pricing, as stated on the website, it allows for “100 members, unlimited number of projects, exports, countdown timer opens, daily tests, and more.”
Beefree’s paid plans are as follows:
- Professional: $30/m
- Business: $160/m
- Enterprise: Custom
Beefree follows a “start for free, upgrade as you grow” pricing structure that allows users and their teams to scale as needed. All pricing options and their features are available on their pricing page.
In-app collaboration
Collaboration is a key factor whether you’re a team of one working with multiple clients or a team of 10 managing numerous clients and brands.
Both Stripo and Beefree offer strong collaboration features such as user roles and permissions and distinctive workspaces, but Beefree's ability to streamline email creation for teams of all sizes surpasses Stripo's.
As a remote-first organization, Beefree understands the importance of efficient teamwork, and this is evident in its application, which centralizes all collaboration and creation in one place.
One of Beefree's standout in-app collaboration tools is a review-for-approval workflow. Team members can easily submit designs for review, track approval status, and incorporate feedback seamlessly.
Additionally, Beefree’s real-time co-editing and design-specific feedback capabilities collaborators to give feedback and make edits to designs simultaneously without conflicts or delays. While not yet available, Stripo does plan to release both of these features in the future.
Moreover, Beefree enables real-time push notifications into your existing project management and communication tools using Webhooks, further helping to facilitate clear communication amongst teams.
Beefree's existing and fully integrated collaboration tools provide a more comprehensive and immediate solution for teams seeking efficient email creation and collaboration capabilities.
