Need an Topol alternative with no data limits?

Like Postcards, Topol is an email template builder for designers and marketers to create templates without needing to code. But how do the two compare? Are the features, limits and pricing even matched, or is Postcards a better value Topol alternative overall? Let’s find out.

Topol vs Postcards

The Breakdown

  • Drag and drop editor

    Both Postcards and Topol allow you to drag-and-drop modules into your templates, so you don’t need any coding skills. And both apps come with hundreds of pre-designed templates to speed up your workflow even more.

  • 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. Topol does allow you to invite teammates to the project, but it’s not as collaborative; you can’t see teammates’ changes as they’re making them.

  • Design in Figma

    Unlike Topol, 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 Topol’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.

Topol vs Postcards

Pricing

Overall, Topol’s pricing is slightly lower than Postcards - in fact, Topol is the cheapest email template builder on the market. But the low price comes with some disadvantages, too. And while Topol does offer a free plan, almost all features are restricted, meaning it’s of limited use for designers and marketers.

  • Exports per month

    Topol’s cheapest plan, ‘Pro’, costs $10/month and includes unlimited exports. On Postcards, you can export up to 10 templates for free — or buy the Postcards Plus plan for $16/month.

  • Data traffic

    Topol has strict data limits across all plans: just 50GB. If you exceed the data limit, you’ll need to pay more, starting at $20 and rising to $125 or more if you’re sending data-heavy images to lots of recipients. And assuming there’s a few thousand people on your email list, you’ll hit the 50GB limit very quickly. Postcards, meanwhile, offers unlimited data traffic across all plans.

  • Stored templates per account

    There aren’t any limits to the number of templates you can store on either Topol or Postcards’ cheapest paid plans.

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.

Topol vs Postcards

The Winner

Comparing the two products like-for-like, there are many similarities. Topol is a capable email template builder - but it won’t be for everyone. Students, new freelancers or anyone else without a budget for software products will find Postcards’ free version much more useful than the feature-restricted free version of Topol. And when it comes to the paid plans, tight data limits will present an issue for many marketers and entrepreneurs - meaning higher costs overall than using Postcards.

So it’s a close contest, but Postcards comes out just ahead as a better value Topol alternative.
