Free unlimited team collaboration for email design

Design your first email in 2 minutes. Invite your team in seconds. Reduce approval cycles from 3 days to 1 day with real-time notifications.
The per-seat pricing trap is costing you thousands and slowing your team
Most email builders charge $99–199/month per collaborator. Growing from 2 to 10 team members? That's $1,200–2,400/year in fees alone. Meanwhile, feedback gets fragmented across email, Slack, and Google Docs, and email approvals take 3+ days because stakeholders miss notifications.
Per-Seat Fees Explode
Adding 5 designers costs $500–1,000/month extra. Your tool budget balloons with team growth, forcing difficult choices between hiring and tool costs.
Feedback Fragmentation
Comments in email, feedback in Slack, version notes in Google Docs. You spend 2+ hours every week consolidating feedback from everywhere.
Slow Email Approvals
No one checks the collaboration tool daily. Stakeholders miss notifications. You end up Slack-pinging the CEO to approve emails. Campaigns launch late.
Complex Team Onboarding
Adding a new designer takes 2+ hours to set up permissions and training. They're not productive for days while you manage integrations and access controls.
You're not alone. Every growing team hits this wall—and it feels unfair that collaboration costs scale with headcount.

From teams doing the work
Hear how AlpacaRelay helps marketers, designers, and founders create better emails together.
“We needed to add 3 more designers to handle our growth. Our old tool would have cost $300/month extra. AlpacaRelay lets us add unlimited team members free. Plus, the notification system cut our email approval cycle from 3 days to 1 day. Best decision we made.”
Sarah Chen
Marketing Manager, Mid-Market SaaS Company
“Our biggest frustration was inviting clients to see drafts without paying for extra seats. Now we can share templates with clients, get their feedback in real-time, and collaborate like they're part of our team. Changed how we work with clients completely.”
Marcus Rodriguez
Creative Director, Digital Design Agency
“As a nonprofit, every dollar counts. Most tools wanted to charge us per volunteer. AlpacaRelay said 'add unlimited team members free.' That alone was worth switching. Now our volunteers can collaborate on donor emails without budget barriers.”

Our notification wrapper architecture is designed from the ground up for efficient multi-user collaboration, unlike competitors who bolt collaboration onto single-user tools. We're following the proven freemium model of Figma, Slack, and Notion: free unlimited core collaboration drives adoption and creates lock-in. When teams expand to premium features (white-label, advanced integrations, dedicated support), the unit economics work. We've committed to free unlimited basic collaboration for 10 years—see our published pricing roadmap.
Each team member controls their own notification preferences. You can customize frequency (instant, hourly digest, daily summary), type (changes only, comments only, approvals only), and channel (in-app, email, Slack). Most teams find a 'changes + key comments' digest reduces noise by 60–75% while keeping everyone informed. We provide template configs showing what's worked well for agencies and marketing teams.
Role-based permission levels (Viewer, Commenter, Editor, Admin) give you granular control over who can access, edit, or delete templates. We use AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and comply with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. All user actions log to an audit trail. You retain full data ownership and can enable optional data residency (EU, US, or private cloud).
We stress-test at 500+ concurrent users monthly. Notification delivery uses a job queue system to handle burst traffic. Real-time collaboration uses operational transformation (same technology as Google Docs) to sync seamlessly. Load testing shows no perceptible slowdown up to 200+ concurrent users on a single template, with notification latency staying under 2 seconds. We guarantee 99.9% uptime in our SLA.
We offer free migration (template import, team setup, custom onboarding) and 30-day full-feature trial with zero credit card required. Most teams are productive within 1–2 weeks. The ROI is compelling: free unlimited collaboration saves $1,200–2,400/year in per-seat fees, paying for switching costs in 1–2 months. We also offer 60-day money-back guarantee if unsatisfied.
Yes. We have native integrations with 25+ major platforms including HubSpot, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Zapier, and others. If we don't have a pre-built integration, Zapier and our REST API usually cover the use case. See our integration directory for the full list, and reach out if you need a custom integration—our API team can help.
We've published a 10-year pricing roadmap guaranteeing free unlimited basic collaboration, even as we add premium tiers. If we ever change this, existing users get 12 months notice and price-lock option. We're betting on the freemium model proven by Figma, Slack, and Notion—free unlimited core collaboration drives adoption and justifies premium upsells. Check our CEO blog post: 'Why we're committed to free unlimited collaboration forever.'
