Beefree (now RGE Studio)

RGE Studio, the product formerly known as Beefree, is a web-based builder for email and landing-page designs. It suits designers and teams that need to produce on-brand work for an existing ESP or CRM. Its combination of templates, reusable content and export routes is compelling, but it is not a campaign-sending system.

Overview

RGE Studio focuses on creation: sending, automation and customer data stay in a separate ESP or CRM. That division works well for teams already committed to those systems and looking for a dedicated design workflow. It is a poor fit for anyone who wants one product to design and send campaigns.

The drag-and-drop editor supports email and landing pages, with HTML export and custom code editing for teams that need more control than a visual builder alone provides. The original Beefree builder evolved into RGE Studio in 2026.

Key features

The library of more than 1,700 email and landing-page templates gives designers a wide range of starting points. Custom fonts and code editing help adapt those starting points to a brand rather than leaving teams locked into a template's default appearance.

Saved rows can be reused, while synced rows update across designs when edited. This is valuable for teams maintaining shared brand elements across multiple campaigns; it can reduce inconsistent copies, though the benefit depends on keeping shared content current.

Export options include native connectors, copied HTML and downloadable ZIP files. Native integrations cover Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Account Engagement, HubSpot, Adobe Marketo Engage, Slate, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor, Brevo, MailUp, Zoho, Gmail, Outlook, Amazon SES and SendGrid. A custom connector can export to platforms beyond that set, giving teams another route when their destination is not natively supported.

Smart Check flags issues including 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, but they do not replace a team's own review.

Structured semantic HTML, mobile design mode and dark-mode preview support more considered output across viewing contexts. The platform aligns with WCAG 2.2 accessibility principles, a useful foundation for accessible design rather than a guarantee that every finished campaign meets every requirement.

Professional, Business and Enterprise include user roles and permissions; Business and Enterprise also support multiple workspaces. Higher tiers list premium support and Okta SSO. Beefree's Trust Center lists EU-US DPF, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

Pricing

Starter is free (billed $0) and allows up to 10 designs and 6 exports per month. It includes the landing-page builder and a custom subdomain. Those caps make it suitable for occasional work or evaluating the workflow, but six monthly exports can quickly constrain regular production.

Professional costs $30 a month, or $25/mo billed yearly. It adds unlimited project folders, unlimited reusable content blocks, 2 seats and an AI writing assistant. It is the practical step up for a small team that needs more room to organize and reuse work; the included two seats remain a constraint for larger groups.

Business costs $160 a month, or $134/mo billed yearly. Advanced brand controls, 2 workspaces, approval workflows and a QA assistant make it better suited to teams coordinating reviews across brands or workstreams. The higher price is difficult to justify for a solo designer who does not need those controls.

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. It is aimed at organizations with more demanding governance and integration needs.

RGE Studio also offers a 15-day trial. The plans include a Help Center, Beefree Academy, email support and two-factor authentication; premium support and Okta SSO are listed for higher tiers.

Platforms

RGE Studio is web-based. Its native connectors and export options provide routes into supported ESPs and CRMs, but the platform itself does not send campaigns or run automation.

Who it's for

Choose RGE Studio if you design branded emails or landing pages for an existing ESP or CRM and value repeatable content, collaboration and multiple export paths. The template library and synced rows are especially useful when speed and consistency matter across a team's output.

Look elsewhere if you need campaign delivery and automation in the same product, or if the Starter export cap is too restrictive and the paid seats or pricing do not fit your workload.

Pros and cons

• Pro: More than 1,700 templates, custom fonts and code editing give designers both quick starting points and room to tailor results.
• Pro: Reusable and synced rows help teams keep repeated brand content consistent across designs.
• Pro: Native integrations, HTML, ZIP and custom-connector exports offer several ways to move finished work into existing systems.
• Con: Sending, automation and customer data remain in an ESP or CRM, so this is not an all-in-one campaign platform.
• Con: Starter is limited to 10 designs and 6 exports monthly, which may be too tight for ongoing production.
• Con: Professional includes 2 seats, while multi-workspace support starts at Business, making team growth a pricing consideration.

Verdict

Choose another tool if you need sending and automation built in, or if the free export cap and paid-plan seat structure do not match your workload.
