Free email template builder with unlimited custom code
Build, refine, and migrate templates with AI-powered code assistance. No paywalls. No limitations. Start free forever.
Migrate from MailerCloud in 4 minutes. Real-time preview. Responsive design built-in. Export anytime.
Email builders are holding your code hostage
Competitors charge $99-$500/month for custom code access. MailerCloud migrations require manual rewrites. Refinement cycles waste 8-10 hours per week.
Code editing locked behind paywalls
Beefree, Stripo, Chamaileon charge $99-$499/month for code editor access. You're paying $1,200+ annually just to edit HTML/CSS.
MailerCloud migration is a nightmare
No migration tools. Manual template rewrites take weeks. Risk of breaking existing code. No guarantee of accuracy.
Code refinement kills productivity
Edit code → save → switch tabs → check preview → switch back → fix typo. Repeat 6-8 times per template. Wasted hours every week.
Per-user licensing limits team collaboration
Add team members? Pay per seat. Scale to clients? Pay per client. Freelancers and agencies hit cost ceilings fast.
No compliance or validation support
Manually verify WCAG, CAN-SPAM, GDPR compliance. No built-in accessibility checks. Risk of regulatory violations.
Templates trapped in platform silos
Code locked to proprietary formats. Migration to other platforms requires complete rebuilds. Vendor lock-in by design.
We get it. You're frustrated with outdated platforms, expensive paywalls, and tedious migrations. Your code shouldn't be held hostage.

Through AI-powered refinement and real-time preview
Our migration assistant validates code before import and shows you a preview first. You can test the import without committing. If something breaks, we help fix it. Our success rate is 98% with 100% code fidelity—we import clean HTML/CSS with zero modifications. See our migration guide or watch the 3-minute demo showing a live MailerCloud import.
Genuinely unlimited: unlimited custom code editor, unlimited templates, unlimited user seats, unlimited storage, no watermarks, no ads, no expiration date. The only limit is your time. Paid tiers ($19-99/mo) add optional features like API access and white-label hosting—not core functionality. Our business model works because free adoption creates network effects; we don't need artificial limits to force upgrades.
Fair question. Here's why teams are switching: (1) Code editor included free (competitors charge $99-$499/mo); (2) AI-powered code suggestions (competitors have none); (3) MailerCloud migration built-in (competitors require manual work); (4) Friendlier interface for non-developers. Start with our free tier (no credit card needed, no time limit). If you prefer Beefree after 7 days, you lose nothing. Most users who try both stay with AlpacaRelay for the code editor alone.
Your templates are yours. One-click export of all templates as standard HTML/CSS (anytime, no strings attached). No proprietary code, no platform dependencies, no lock-in. Exported templates work in any email platform, CMS, or system. We also provide 90-day notice if shutting down, with guaranteed data export during that period. Your code is always portable.
Absolutely. The drag-and-drop visual builder is your main interface—it's intuitive and requires zero coding knowledge. Code mode sits in the background for developers and power users. For you, it's like having a developer on staff available when needed, invisible when not. 60% of our free-tier users never open the code editor. They're 100% productive with drag-and-drop. You get both options without compromise.
AI suggestions are never auto-applied. You review each suggestion, see a live preview of the result, and choose to accept or ignore. Our AI is trained on 10,000+ high-performing templates and industry best practices (WCAG, CAN-SPAM, responsive design). Suggestions are accuracy-tested with a 94% adoption rate (meaning users who try them keep them). You remain the final arbiter of your code—always in control.
Free-tier users get email support with 24-hour response guarantee. We also provide extensive docs, video tutorials, weekly webinars, and a growing community forum. For complex issues (template refactoring, migration help), paid users can purchase white-glove support hours. Real support from real humans, not chatbots. Average support response time on free tier: 3 hours.
