Need a Mosaico alternative with more customization?

Like Postcards, Mosaico is a drag-and-drop email template builder for designers and marketers. But it’s different to Postcards; your creative freedom is much more restricted, with only 2 available template styles and limited options for no-code customization. So which is better overall? Is Postcards a more flexible Mosaico alternative? Let’s find out.

Mosaico vs Postcards

The Breakdown

  • Drag and drop editor

    Both Postcards and Mosaico use a drag-and-drop interface for creating templates without needing any coding knowledge. In Postcards, though, you’ve got hundreds of beautiful, pre-designed templates and limitless customization options.

    In Mosaico, there are just two possible template styles, and only 6 available fonts. And if you want to customize your template, you’ll need both coding knowledge and several hours available to spend editing the HTML directly.

  • 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. Mosaico, meanwhile, doesn’t support live team collaboration.

  • See it before you send it

    Mosaico gives you a design surface and nothing beyond it — checking how your email renders across clients is left entirely to you and whatever separate tooling you set up. Postcards shows you Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail right in the editor, before anything goes out.

  • Customizable mobile view

    Both Postcards and Mosaico’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.

Pricing

Mosaico is priced differently to most email template builders; there is no recurring payment. Instead, Mosaico charges businesses to license the software to other users. As such, pricing isn’t directly comparable with Postcards.

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. Mosaico 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.

Mosaico vs Postcards

The Winner

  • Overall, it’s fair to say the Mosaico user interface feels much more dated, less flexible and less intuitive than Postcards. Users need HTML knowledge to customize templates to their brand, which takes several hours longer than 100% no-code customization. Mosaico also doesn’t integrate with your ESP.

  • Postcards, meanwhile, offers true creative freedom in a simple, modern, easy to use interface, with hundreds of pre-built templates - all customizable in just a few minutes. As a result, Postcards saves more time, for beautiful email templates you can export in just one click.

Try Postcards free & save 7+ hours creating stunning email templates.
