Closest to how Taxi works

Better Email

Code-owned design systems with a visual editor

Like Taxi, your team keeps its own email code. Developers own the Email Design System in HTML and Liquid, and marketers build campaigns in a visual editor. Comments, approvals, localization, testing, and ESP export sit in the same workflow.

What it is good at
Code controlled Email Design Systems, visual campaign creation, approvals, localization, testing, and export to the sending platform your team already uses.
Who it suits
Enterprise marketing teams and agencies that want developers to control HTML and Liquid while marketers build campaigns from protected modules.
When it may be the better choice
Choose Better Email when several markets, brands, or approval groups need one governed production workflow, or when your team wants direct control of the email code.

Dyspatch

Multichannel messages built in DML

What it is good at
Coded, brand locked blocks in DML, shareable previews, and content creation across email, SMS, push, and in app messages.
Who it suits
Teams with a working DML setup, a relatively simple approval flow, or a need to create several messaging channels in one builder.
When it may be the better choice
Dyspatch may be the better choice when multichannel creation matters more than using HTML and Liquid for the design system.

Knak

Email and landing pages without code

What it is good at
Email and landing pages in one no-code platform, with standard blocks, brand controls, comments, review groups, and staged approvals.
Who it suits
Teams that build landing pages as well as email and want administrators to set up the platform without developers.
When it may be the better choice
Knak may be the better choice when you need landing pages as well as email, and its standard blocks cover the work your team needs.

Stripo

Fast one-off campaigns from templates

What it is good at
Fast setup from a large template library, drag and drop editing, HTML and CSS access, interactive email features, and broad ESP export.
Who it suits
Individuals and smaller teams that want a flexible general purpose builder for one off campaigns.
When it may be the better choice
Stripo may be the better choice when speed, ready made templates, interactive email features, and broad export matter more than a governed enterprise design system.

Chamaileon

Collaborative no-code email building

What it is good at
Collaborative, no code email building with workflow features.
Who it suits
Teams that prioritise collaborative visual email creation without a code owned design system.
