Beefree (now RGE Studio)
San Francisco, California, United States
What it is
RGE Studio, formerly Beefree, is a web-based editor for designing on-brand emails and landing pages. Its drag-and-drop workflow includes more than 1,700 templates, with saved rows and synced rows that update across designs. Completed work can be exported through native connectors, copied as HTML, or downloaded as a ZIP; custom connectors can cover platforms beyond the native integration list. Integrations include Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot, Adobe Marketo Engage, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Gmail, Outlook, and SendGrid, among others. Smart Check flags issues such as missing links, missing subject lines, and oversized images or HTML files. The AI Assistant can add alt text and identify typos and translation issues. The platform offers mobile design mode, dark-mode preview, and structured semantic HTML aligned with WCAG 2.2 accessibility principles. It creates content rather than sending campaigns: sending, automation, and data remain in an ESP or CRM. Starter is free; Professional costs $30 a month, billed $25/mo billed yearly.

The review
RGE Studio, the product that grew out of Beefree, is a web-based editor for email and landing-page designs. It is best for designers and teams that already send campaigns through an ESP or CRM and want a dedicated place to build consistent creative. Its strongest appeal is the combination of a large template library, reusable content and multiple export routes; teams that need campaign delivery or automation should choose another kind of product.
Overview
RGE Studio handles design work while sending, automation and customer data remain in an ESP or CRM. That separation suits organizations with an established marketing stack: they can improve the creation workflow without moving campaign operations. It is a poor fit for small teams seeking one tool to design and deliver email campaigns.
The original Beefree builder evolved into RGE Studio in 2026. The product remains web-based, so its workflow centers on a browser editor rather than a desktop application.
Key features
The drag-and-drop editor offers more than 1,700 email and landing-page templates. That breadth gives designers many starting points, while custom code editing and custom fonts allow them to adjust layouts and brand details instead of accepting a template as-is.
Saved rows can be reused across designs, and synced rows update wherever they appear when edited. That is useful for teams maintaining recurring brand elements, since a shared change can keep multiple designs aligned. It also makes content ownership matter: a change to a synced row affects every design using it.
Designs can leave the editor through native connectors, copied HTML or downloadable ZIP files. Native destinations include 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 cover a platform outside that group, giving teams another route when their destination is not a native integration.
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, but they do not change the product's role: campaign sending and automation stay in the ESP or CRM.
Structured semantic HTML, mobile design mode and dark-mode preview support designs intended for varied viewing contexts. The platform aligns with WCAG 2.2 accessibility principles. Its Trust Center lists EU-US DPF, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, useful considerations for teams evaluating security and accessibility requirements.
Pricing
Starter is free at $0, with up to 10 designs, six exports per month, a landing-page builder and a custom subdomain. That is a practical way to explore the workflow or produce a small volume of work, but the export cap makes it restrictive for recurring campaigns.
Professional costs $30 a month, or $25/mo billed yearly. It includes unlimited project folders, unlimited reusable content blocks, two seats and an AI writing assistant. The expanded content capacity suits a small design team managing multiple projects, though the two-seat allowance limits who can work directly in the editor.
Business costs $160 a month, or $134/mo billed yearly. It adds advanced brand controls, two workspaces, approval workflows and a QA assistant. Teams that need formal review and separate workspaces have a clearer reason to move up; those that mainly need more room for reusable content may find Professional's included blocks sufficient.
Enterprise has custom pricing. It includes multi-step approval workflows, advanced user restrictions, a customer success manager, Okta SSO and real-time third-party integrations, making it the tier for organizations with more demanding governance and integration needs.
Professional, Business and Enterprise include user roles and permissions; multiple workspaces are available on Business and Enterprise. Plans include the Help Center, Beefree Academy, email support and two-factor authentication, with premium support and Okta SSO listed for higher tiers. The pricing note also includes a 15-day trial.
Platforms
RGE Studio runs on the web. That is a natural fit for browser-based design teams, while users who require a native desktop editor will need a different option.
Who it's for
Choose RGE Studio if your team needs to create on-brand emails and landing pages quickly, reuse shared design elements and collaborate around approvals or brand controls. It is especially suited to designers working with an existing ESP or CRM and needing exports into that environment. Look elsewhere if the priority is campaign sending, automation or customer-data management in the same product.
Pros and cons
- Pros: More than 1,700 templates, custom fonts and code editing give designers both fast starting points and room to tailor the result.
- Pros: Synced rows, roles and permissions, and higher-tier approval workflows support consistency across team-produced designs.
- Pros: Native connectors, HTML, ZIP export and custom connectors provide several ways to move designs into downstream tools.
- Cons: Sending and automation remain in an ESP or CRM, so RGE Studio cannot serve as a complete campaign platform.
- Cons: Starter is capped at 10 designs and six monthly exports, which can quickly constrain regular production.
- Cons: Professional includes only two seats, and multiple workspaces begin with Business.

Verdict
RGE Studio is a strong fit for design teams that need a dedicated, collaborative workflow for branded email and landing pages and already rely on an ESP or CRM for delivery. The broad template library, shared content and flexible exports make it compelling for that job. Choose another product if sending and automation need to live alongside design, and check the Starter export cap and Professional seat limit against your team's volume before committing.
