Stripo Review: The Fastest Way to Perfect Email Templates?

The “Email Design Nightmare” – An Introduction

You surely know it: Creating a new email campaign or newsletter takes forever. The built-in drag & drop editor of your email marketing tool is clunky, the provided templates look generic, and as soon as you try to customize a detail, you break the entire design. But often, the worst part comes after sending: The email looks completely different in your customers’ inboxes – especially in Outlook – compared to Gmail or on a smartphone. Professional, responsive email design without in-depth HTML knowledge seems like an impossible task.

Every poorly designed or incorrectly displayed email is not just annoying; it damages your brand image and your conversion rate. You’re wasting potential because production simply takes too long, and the results aren’t convincing due to error-prone technical implementation.

But what if you had an email editor that was as intuitive as a modern page builder but generated perfect, clean HTML code in the background that works in every email client? A tool with over 1600 professional templates, an ingenious system for reusable content modules, and even support for interactive AMP elements – that is also compatible with over 90 email providers?

This is exactly the promise of Stripo.email. It’s not an all-in-one email marketing suite, but a highly specialized platform focused solely on creating outstanding email templates. But is it really that much better than the built-in editors of Mailchimp, Brevo & Co.? And for whom is using a separate design tool worthwhile? We’ve tested it in detail for you.

What is Stripo.email, Really? (The Big Picture)

First things first: Stripo.email is purely an Email Design Platform (EDP). It is not an Email Marketing Tool (ESP) like ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, or Brevo. So, you cannot send emails or manage your contact lists with Stripo. The platform focuses 100% on one crucial step: the design and technical creation of your email templates.

The workflow is incredibly simple: You build your email in Stripo’s user-friendly interface, test its appearance in various email clients, and then export the finished, clean HTML code. You then import this code with just a few clicks into your preferred email sending tool (your ESP).

Stripo’s strategic focus is clearly on design efficiency and technical quality. The platform aims to help you create better emails faster that look great everywhere. Its impressive compatibility underscores this claim: Stripo offers direct integrations for over 90 Email Service Providers (ESPs) and email clients. This makes it a universal design layer that seamlessly integrates into almost any existing email marketing stack.

The Most Important Features for Efficient Email Production

Stripo is packed with features designed to speed up your email workflow and improve the quality of your results. Here are the core functions that particularly impressed us during the test:

The Dual Editor (For Marketers & Coders)

Stripo offers the best of both worlds: An intuitive Drag & Drop Editor that allows you to visually assemble emails without writing a single line of code. At the same time, you always have full access to the clean HTML and CSS code. This is ideal for teams: marketers can quickly create drafts, and developers can dive deep and make specific adjustments when needed.

Modular Email Architecture (MEA): Build Emails Like with LEGO

This is the absolute heart of Stripo and a real efficiency booster. You can design recurring email elements – like your header, footer, product blocks, or social media links – once and save them as “Content Modules” in your personal library. When creating a new email, you simply drag and drop these finished modules into your template. This saves an incredible amount of time and ensures a consistent design across all your campaigns.

Synchronized Modules (Changes at the Click of a Button)

This feature builds on the Content Modules and is pure gold for managing your emails. Imagine you need to change your company logo in the footer or add a new legal disclaimer. Normally, you would now have to manually edit dozens or hundreds of email templates. With synchronized modules, you make the change only once in the centrally stored module – and Stripo automatically updates it in all emails where this module is used. This is not only efficient but also minimizes the risk of errors and ensures guaranteed brand and legal compliance.

Smart Elements & Product Card Generation

Especially exciting for e-commerce businesses: With “Smart Elements,” you can automate the creation of content blocks. Upload product data (image, name, price, link), and Stripo automatically generates appealing product cards in the design of your choice. This significantly speeds up the creation of sales newsletters.

Extensive Template Library (>1600 Templates)

You never have to start from scratch. Stripo offers a huge library with over 1600 professionally designed, responsive email templates for various occasions (welcome emails, sales, holidays, etc.). You can use these as a starting point and customize them to your brand. You can find more tips for good design in our category on Email Marketing.

Technical Excellence: Responsive, Clean & Interactive

An email can look as beautiful as it wants – if it displays incorrectly in the customer’s inbox, it’s all for nothing. This is where Stripo shows its technical strength.

Guaranteed Responsiveness & Cross-Client Compatibility

Stripo guarantees that all emails created with the tool are fully responsive and display correctly on all common devices (desktop, tablet, mobile). To ensure this, the templates are regularly tested with the industry-standard tool “Email on Acid.” This gives you the confidence that your emails will look professional everywhere.

Granular Mobile Control

Do you want certain images or text blocks to be visible only on desktop and hidden on mobile? No problem. With Stripo, you can specify exactly for each element on which devices it should be displayed. You can even define different font sizes or spacing for the mobile view.

Clean HTML Code (Even for Outlook!)

Stripo generates extremely clean, standards-compliant HTML code. This is why exporting to over 90 different email providers works so smoothly. Even the notoriously difficult email client Microsoft Outlook, which drives many designers to despair, usually displays emails created with Stripo correctly.

AMP4Email Pioneer (Interactive Emails)

Stripo was one of the first email editors to integrate Google’s innovative AMP4Email technology. This allows you to embed interactive elements like image carousels, confirmation buttons, or even small surveys directly into your email. The recipient can interact without having to leave the email. According to studies, this has the potential to increase conversion rates significantly.

Who is Stripo.email an Absolute Game-Changer for?

Stripo is a powerful tool, but is it the right one for you? Here is our assessment:

This is YOUR tool if…

• … you, as a marketer or designer, regularly create email campaigns or newsletters and are frustrated by the design limitations of your current Email Marketing Tool (ESP).
• … you, as an agency, produce emails for many different clients and need an efficient, standardized workflow to ensure consistency and quality (the modules are gold here!).
• … you run an e-commerce business and want to design your product emails (newsletters, offers, etc.) faster, easier, and more appealingly.
• … you place the highest value on technically clean HTML code and perfect rendering of your emails in truly all email clients (yes, even Outlook!).

Better keep your hands off if…

• … you only send a very simple text newsletter very rarely (maybe 1-2 times a year). In that case, the built-in editor of your ESP is probably sufficient.
• … you are looking for an all-in-one solution that covers both design AND sending of emails. Stripo is *only* for designing and creating the templates.
• … you have absolutely no willingness to learn a new (albeit very intuitive) tool and prefer to stick with the basic functions of your ESP.

The theory sounds good, but how easy is it really to create an email with Stripo? How does the modular principle with modules work? This video from Stripo itself gives you a good insight into the Drag & Drop editor and the most important functions:

8. The Pricing Model: What Does Professional Email Design Cost?

Stripo.email offers a transparent freemium model. The free plan is ideal for trying out the platform but quickly hits its limits for professional users with only 4 exports per month and limited access to premium templates.

The paid plans scale fairly according to the needs of individuals up to agencies and larger teams. The main differences lie in the number of users, monthly exports, and the number of stored templates/modules.

Plan	Cost / Month (approx. USD)	Users	Exports / Month	Stored Emails
Free	$0	1	4	10
Basic	~$20	2	50	50
Medium	~$45	3	300	300
Pro	~$95	10	Unlimited	Unlimited

A look at the numbers shows: The Medium plan often offers the best value for money for professional users and small agencies. For an increase of about 125% in price compared to the Basic plan, you get 500% more exports per month. The model clearly rewards higher production volume.

The Return on Investment (ROI) for Stripo primarily comes from the massive time savings in email production (through modules, templates, etc.) and the potentially higher performance of your campaigns due to technically cleaner, more appealing, and interactive designs. If you save just 2-3 hours per month using Stripo, the Medium plan often pays for itself.

9. Stripo vs. Competitors (Beefree, ESP Editors)

How does Stripo compare to other email editors?

• Stripo vs. Beefree: Both are excellent drag & drop editors. Stripo scores with its deeper technical functionality (modules with synchronization, AMP support, detailed mobile control). Beefree is often perceived as even simpler and offers full access to all templates in the free plan, whereas Stripo is limited here.
• Stripo vs. ESP-Internal Editors (e.g., Mailchimp, Brevo, etc.): Here, Stripo is superior in almost all aspects. The code quality is cleaner, responsiveness is more reliable (especially in Outlook), the feature set (modules, AMP) is significantly larger, and the usability is often more intuitive than the often clunky standard editors of ESPs.

The decision often depends on your priorities: Are you looking for maximum technical control and efficiency (Stripo) or absolute simplicity (Beefree/ESP editor)?

10. What We Find Cool (The Strengths) & Where It Falls Short (The Weaknesses)

The Strengths (What convinced us)

• ✅ The Modular Email Architecture (MEA): Reusable Content Modules are an absolute game-changer for efficiency and consistency.
• ✅ The Synchronization Feature: Global changes in minutes instead of hours – a must for professional teams and agencies.
• ✅ Excellent Code Quality & Compatibility: Your emails simply look good everywhere, even in Outlook. Exporting to over 90 ESPs works smoothly.
• ✅ AMP4Email Support: Stripo is a leader in integrating interactive elements, which can give you a competitive edge.
• ✅ Huge Template Selection: Over 1600 templates provide a quick start for any project.

The Weaknesses (What you should know)

• ❌ No Real-Time Collaboration: Unlike tools such as Figma or Postcards, multiple users cannot work on the same email simultaneously. The workflow is rather sequential (Create > Share > Feedback).
• ❌ Not a Sending Tool: Stripo is *only* for design. You still need a separate tool (your ESP) for sending.
• ❌ Very Limited Free Plan: With only 4 exports per month, the free plan is really only suitable for testing, not for productive use.

11. Conclusion: The New Standard Workbench for Email Designers?

After our test, Stripo.email is an outstanding platform that elevates the often tedious process of email creation to a new professional level. It masterfully combines intuitive operation with professional depth and technical excellence.

It’s not just an editor, but a well-thought-out production system for email templates.

Our Plain-Text Recommendation:

For any marketer, designer, or agency who regularly creates more than just simple text emails and values design quality, technical cleanliness, efficiency, and brand consistency, Stripo.email is an absolute top recommendation and usually well worth the monthly investment in a paid plan.

12. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I send emails with Stripo?

Does Stripo work with my Email Marketing Tool?

Most likely, yes. Stripo offers direct integrations for over 90 ESPs and email clients. Exporting is usually done with just one click. Alternatively, you can always export the clean HTML code and manually paste it into your tool.

Are the 1600+ templates really free?

A large portion of the templates are available even in the free plan. However, some premium templates are reserved for the paid plans.

Do I need HTML knowledge to use Stripo?

No. The Drag & Drop editor is designed so that you can create professional emails even without any coding knowledge. However, if you are proficient in HTML/CSS, you also have the option to edit the code directly.

The emails you have already created and saved in your Stripo account remain accessible even if you revert to a free plan (however, the limits of the Free Plan regarding storage space, etc., will apply again). Templates already exported and used in your ESP are not affected by canceling your Stripo subscription.
