Blocks Edit

Blocks Edit is a web editor for teams that visually edit HTML designs for websites, blogs, landing pages, marketing emails, digital forms and other content. Users can import an HTML design and set editable areas through a visual theme editor or HTML classes and attributes. The editor supports inline editing, drag-and-drop components, and live preview and editing for mobile and dark mode. Team features include comments and review, role-based permissions, revision history, a shared content library and campaign checklists. Checklist-based review can flag missing or broken links, and the site describes automated image formatting. Blocks Edit works with HTML, CSS and JavaScript platforms, and can publish to a chosen host or CDN or export emails to service providers. It helps create email content but does not send emails to customers. A free plan lists unlimited solo editing and 5 GB storage. Other listed options include Integrations at $10 a month for each integration, a Yearly plan at $20 a year, and additional storage at $25 a month per 250 GB.

Blocks Edit supports visual editing and team review for HTML-based content across several formats. Teams should note that it prepares email content but does not deliver it to customers.

Blocks Edit may suit marketers, designers, developers, copywriters and content editors who work with HTML-based content. Its team workflows also address agencies and enterprise teams.

Blocks Edit is a web editor for teams adapting prepared HTML designs across email and other content. It suits designers and content teams that need controlled editing and review; it is a poor fit for anyone looking to send campaigns from the editor.

Its strongest case is combining flexible HTML setup with team review tools, while leaving delivery to another service.

Overview

Teams can import an HTML design and define editable areas through a visual theme editor or HTML classes and attributes. That makes Blocks Edit useful when designers want to preserve a layout while letting colleagues update its content. It supports websites, blogs, landing pages, marketing emails, digital forms and other content, and can publish to a chosen host or CDN or export email content to service providers.

The boundary is important: Blocks Edit helps prepare email content but does not send messages to customers or hold audience lists. Teams still need a separate delivery tool, and audience management is outside its stated scope.

Key features

Editing and preview

Inline editing and drag-and-drop components let editors work within a prepared design rather than change every detail in code. Live preview and editing for mobile and dark mode help teams address those views before publishing. This favors organizations with existing HTML designs; it is not a blank-canvas design workflow.

Team review and checks

Commenting, role-based permissions, revision history, a shared content library and campaign checklists support collaborative approval. Checklist-based review, broken or missing link flags and automated image formatting can catch routine issues before content moves on. These tools make more sense for teams with review steps than for solo users who only need occasional edits.

Connections and safeguards

Direct connections include AWS, GCP Storage, Salesforce, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, Iterable, Okta and OneLogin; sFTP and SAML are standard support. The product says it works with HTML, CSS and JavaScript platforms. Custom integration requests require a yearly plan with at least five team members, which may rule out smaller teams that need a bespoke connection.

Blocks Edit says remote server access uses VPN and two-factor authentication and is restricted to workers who need it for their work. Uploaded files are backed up daily, and data sent over public networks is encrypted. Its stated PII scope is limited to team member account credentials; it does not send customer emails or hold audience lists.

Pricing

The free plan is free and provides solo editing, unlimited editing and 5 GB storage. It is a reasonable starting point for an individual working within that storage cap, but the plan is explicitly solo, so it does not serve as a free team collaboration tier.

The 5 users plan is $99 a year, billed yearly, for five users. Yearly is $20 a year, shown as $20 per user with five users at $99 per month after a struck-through $125 per month; integrations are priced separately. The presentation distinguishes yearly billing from the quoted monthly team figure, so teams should confirm the billing total before committing. Collaborate is $240 a year, billed at $240 per year ($20.00/month, billed annually), with 250 GB storage. Additional storage costs $25 a month for each additional 250 GB increment.

Integrations are priced at $10 a month, billed at $10 per user per month for each integration, covering asset hosts, email providers and SSO. The pricing note also gives paid plans from $10/user/mo and a 30-day trial. Custom pricing applies where a plan has no published price; custom integration requests require a yearly plan and at least five members. The cheaper solo option gives up team seats, while integration costs can add up per user and per connection.

Platforms

Blocks Edit is available on the web. Its compatibility with HTML, CSS and JavaScript platforms and publishing to a host or CDN make it adaptable to different web environments, but it still depends on a separate service for email delivery.

Who it's for

Freelancers, agencies and enterprise teams may use it to put controlled editing and approval around existing HTML. It also suits marketers, managers, designers, developers, copywriters and content editors who share responsibility for producing content. Solo creators can start with the free plan, while teams should weigh seat and integration charges against their review and storage needs.

Pros and cons

• Pros: HTML setup through either a visual theme editor or classes and attributes gives designers control over what editors can change.
• Pros: Comments, permissions, revisions and checklists support a traceable team review process.
• Pros: Mobile and dark-mode preview, link checks and image formatting address practical pre-publishing tasks.
• Cons: It does not deliver customer email or manage audience lists, so campaign operations need other software.
• Cons: Free use is limited to solo editing and 5 GB storage; team collaboration requires a paid plan.
• Cons: Integrations are priced per user per month for each connection, and custom integration requests require at least five team members on a yearly plan.

Alternatives

For a broader choice of email-focused tools, compare Email Template Software and Email Design Software.

• Canary is a free email client with a unified inbox, read receipts, snooze and pin, templates and inbox-zero tools, rather than an HTML editing workflow.
• Dragble offers a free tier with three projects, 10 GB storage, 10 core content blocks and Dragble branding; consider it if those project and block limits fit your content work.
• Stripo has a free plan capped at two members, four exports monthly, five test emails daily and 10 stored emails; its Basic plan is $20 monthly or $200 yearly.
• Unitpost offers a free plan with email sending and contact quotas, making it a possible alternative for teams seeking a tool that includes delivery rather than only preparing email content.
• Unlayer has a forever-free builder for email, pages, popups and documents; consider it when a broader builder scope is the priority.
• Foundation for Emails is a free web option.
• MailEditor has a Starter plan at $9 per month billed yearly, with limits on members, exports, test emails, templates and storage.
• Mela has a free plan capped at one site, two locales, one organization member, one client seat and 1 GB storage.

Verdict

Choose Blocks Edit if your team already works with HTML and needs a controlled way to edit, review and publish content across formats. Its collaborative checks and flexible setup are the main reasons to choose it; look elsewhere if you need email delivery, audience management, or a team plan without per-user integration costs.
