Your current email tool is costing you thousands—and slowing your team down
Team collaboration on email newsletters shouldn't drain your budget or kill your timelines. Yet every major platform charges $20-$999/month per person just to let your team edit the same template.
Licensing fees spiral fast
5 designers at $89/month each = $5,340/year just for team access. Add freelancers or interns? More licensing. Your budget gets eaten before you spend anything on actually creating campaigns.
Approval bottlenecks kill timelines
Designer finishes, then copywriter goes, then PM reviews. Sequential workflows turn 2 hours of actual work into 8-12 hours of calendar time. Seasonal campaigns launch late and miss peak revenue windows.
Version control nightmare
Is it 'Draft 5 FINAL' or 'Draft 5 FINAL (actually final)'? Emails scattered across Slack, Google Drive, email chains. You lose 2-3 hours per campaign just managing which version is current.
Non-designers are locked out
Beefree and Stripo are too complex for your copywriter or PM to use. Only your senior designer has the expertise. Bottleneck on one person. Everyone else is excluded from collaboration.
We've been there. We built AlpacaRelay because we were paying the licensing fees and losing hours to version control chaos ourselves.
Everything you need—nothing you don't pay for
Unlimited free team members. What you'd pay Beefree ($89/month per seat) is now zero. Forever.

Free unlimited team collaboration is our core product and competitive advantage. We monetize through premium features (advanced analytics, white-label options, enterprise SSO) that most teams don't need. We've published a 5-year pricing commitment: 'Team collaboration is and always will be free.' All templates export as standard HTML—you're never locked in. This is proven: Figma, Notion, and Slack all started with free core features.
Fair question. All templates export as responsive HTML anytime—you own your work. If we ever discontinue the free tier, we'll give 12 months notice and provide free bulk export. We're profitable on current growth trajectory (projected Q3 2025), reducing acquisition risk. Check our blog for transparent financial updates.
You probably love Beefree's design capabilities. You definitely don't love the per-seat costs ($89-$999/month). For a 5-person team, that's $5,340/year versus zero with us. Try AlpacaRelay free for 30 days with your whole team—no credit card required. If you prefer Beefree, keep using it. But most teams realize they were paying for team features available free elsewhere.
Real-time co-editing is smooth even with 10+ simultaneous editors. You see cursors move, edits appear instantly, comments thread in context. We use operational transformation (same tech as Google Docs) for conflict resolution. Beta testing across teams in different time zones showed zero lag complaints. If you experience slowness, our support team (2-hour response SLA) can help optimize.
Yes. Export your templates as HTML and we'll help bulk import them—takes ~2 hours for a full library. All existing templates render correctly since we support standard responsive email HTML. We offer a free migration consultation to walk you through the process with zero downtime.
We take compliance seriously: (1) SOC 2 Type II certified. (2) GDPR compliant—we don't store unnecessary data, support DPIA, enable right-to-deletion, and provide standard DPA terms. (3) Data residency: EU data stays in EU, US data stays in US. (4) Encryption: AES-256 in transit and at rest. (5) Transparent security audit documentation available. Connect with our security team for specific compliance questions.
AI generates campaign-specific templates based on your brief ('Black Friday 60% off, e-commerce')—not generic one-size-fits-all designs. Templates are starting points you customize with your brand colors, fonts, images, and copy. You control brand consistency through brand kit enforcement. All AI output is fully editable—nothing locked in. Try examples on our site to see actual AI quality.
