Need a no-code MJML alternative?

MJML is an email template framework for developers and designers with coding knowledge to create responsive emails. Unlike Postcards, it’s built to make coding faster - rather than allowing users to build entirely without code. But how do the two compare? Is Postcards a good-value MJML alternative? Let’s find out.

MJML vs Postcards

The Breakdown

  • Drag and drop editor

    In Postcards, you can drag and drop pre-designed modules into place, without needing to write any code. MJML has no drag-and-drop functionality or user interface; you’ll need to code every change you want to make to your template.

  • Real-Time Collaboration

    With Postcards, everyone can co-edit on one draft at the same time, with changes reflected on everyone’s screens in real time. You can even see your teammates’ cursors. Need to manage permissions? No problem. You can choose who’s able to edit and who’s able to view only. MJML, meanwhile, doesn’t support live team collaboration.

  • Design in Figma

    Unlike MJML, Postcards allows you to work where you do already - in Figma. You can design your templates in Figma and just hit the ‘export’ button, so it’s right there for you to customize in Postcards or send straight to your ESP. No coding required.

  • Customizable mobile view

    Both Postcards and MJML’s email templates are responsive. But what if you need to tweak your design for mobile? On Postcards, you can. It’s the only app on the market to give you complete creative freedom in both the mobile and desktop view.

Pricing

MJML is a framework for writing HTML, rather than a drag and drop email builder, and is available free. As such, pricing is not directly comparable.

Integrations

Postcards works with every major email service provider, including HubSpot, Mailchimp, Sendpulse, Brevo, and more. You can export in just one click, and your template is waiting right there for you in your ESP. MJML doesn’t support integrations with ESPs.

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.

MJML vs Postcards

The Winner

If you’re a designer or marketer looking to save time creating templates and you don’t have much coding knowledge, MJML isn’t for you. It’s best for developers with experience coding HTML. Postcards, on the other hand, gives you the no-code, drag-and-drop interface you need to create templates 89% quicker, with pre-built blocks and designs and one-click exports.

Postcards, then, comes out on top.
