Need a cheaper Chamaileon alternative?

Similarly to Postcards, Chamaileon is a drag-and-drop email template builder for designers and marketers to create emails faster. But here’s the thing: Chamaileon is more than 20 times more expensive. So why the high price? Does Chamaileon offer more features, or is Postcards a much better value Chamaileon alternative? Let’s find out.

Chamaileon vs Postcards

The Breakdown

  • Drag and drop editor

    Both Postcards and Chamaileon allow you to drag-and-drop modules into your templates, so you don’t need any coding skills. And both apps come with hundreds of pre-designed templates to speed up your workflow even more.

  • Real-Time Collaboration

    Postcards and Chamaileon are evenly matched here, too. On both apps, everyone can co-edit on one draft at the same time, with changes reflected on all teammates’ screens in real time. You can see your teammates’ cursors, too, similarly to working in Google Docs.

  • See it before you send it

    Chamaileon’s own help centre is candid about this: it is not an email testing or rendering solution, and it won’t show you how your template looks in different email clients — it points you to Litmus or Email on Acid instead. Postcards has client preview built in.

  • Customizable mobile view

    Both Postcards and Chamaileon’s email templates are responsive. But what if you need to tweak your design for mobile? On Postcards, you can — open the mobile view and adjust spacing, sizes, and what shows or hides, all without touching the desktop layout.

Chamaileon vs Postcards

Pricing

The price is where there’s a difference between the two apps. A big difference. Chamaileon no longer shares its pricing publicly - perhaps with good reason - and its plans start from $400/month. There is no free Chamaileon plan. All Postcards plans, on the other hand, are much cheaper, priced from free to a maximum $29/month.

  • Exports per month

    All Chamaileon plans, starting from $400/month, include unlimited exports. On Postcards, you can choose the Plus plan ($19/month) for up to 20 exports, or Pro at $29/month for unlimited exports like Chamaileon.

  • Stored templates per account

    Chamaileon lets you store unlimited templates, but only on plans that cost hundreds of dollars a month. On Postcards, the free Start plan keeps 10 template projects, and both Plus and Pro give you unlimited template projects for a tiny fraction of the price.

  • Data & storage limits

    It’s not clear whether data transfer limits also apply in Chamaileon. Postcards, however, offers unlimited image storage and data transfer on every plan, including the free Start plan.

I like that it is easy to use, and I don't need to know how to code. We send emails through Pardot, and I am easily able to export the HTML code and just paste it right into Pardot.
