Yes. The editor SDK is licensed under FSL-1.1-MIT (Functional Source License) — free to use in any project with no usage caps or per-seat fees. Every release automatically converts to MIT two years after it ships, with no action required.

Yes — paid SaaS, internal tools, on-premise software, agency builds, anything. The only restriction: you can't rebrand Templatical and sell it as a competing hosted email-editor SaaS. Embedding it in a CRM, transactional email API, newsletter tool, or any product where the editor is one feature among many is fully allowed.

Three of the six packages are pure MIT today: types, renderer, and the BeeFree importer. The editor, core, and media-library packages are FSL-1.1-MIT. The split means anything you'd build into a backend or codegen pipeline is fully permissive from day one.

No. The editor renders a small footer credit by default, but it's opt-out — pass branding: false to init() to hide it. There is no forced header logo or other attribution surface in the editor UI.

Templatical works with any framework. While built with Vue internally, it provides a framework-agnostic JavaScript API via npm or a standalone script tag. Use it with React, Angular, Svelte, or plain HTML.

Templatical offers similar drag-and-drop editing capabilities with full source code access. There are no usage-based pricing surprises, and your template data never leaves your infrastructure. Plus, we offer free migration tools to import your existing BeeFree templates.

We provide free, MIT-licensed migration tools for BeeFree, Unlayer, and MJML. They import your existing templates directly and handle block mapping, style preservation, and merge tag conversion automatically. See the migration guides in the docs for each source format.

The OSS SDK is fully standalone — no backend required, and it remains free. Templatical Cloud is an optional managed tier that adds AI rewrite, real-time collaboration, comments, snapshots, saved modules, API access, and multi-tenancy. The Cloud feature code is also open under FSL-1.1-MIT, so you can self-host it instead of using the managed service.
