Support
Occasionally, you may have questions or concerns about your designs or the features included with Beefree. The Professional plan entitles you to file support tickets with our Customer Experience Team and track your ticket history via our Support Widget.
Additional user account
The Professional plan allows you to add an additional user to your account. This allows you to easily collaborate and create with another member of your organization.
Unlimited assets
With the Starter plan, you are limited to 1 project folder, 10 page or email designs, and 3 custom templates. The Professional plan removes all these limitations, allowing you to create as many assets as you like.
Workspace styles and Settings
With our Starter plan, features like custom fonts, color schemes, and so forth must be set on a per-design basis. With Professional, you can create a Workspace that allows you to set these options "globally" so they will be available for all designs.
User roles and permissions
With Professional, you can control the levels of access your users have over your designs and other account settings.
Viewers
Viewers are read-only users who can comment on a design but cannot make any changes to it. Professional plans allow up to four viewer accounts, in addition to the two standard user accounts that are included.
Footer removal
With the Starter plan, all designs are appended with a "Designed with Beefree" footer. When you upgrade to the Professional plan, this footer will be automatically removed from all future designs and templates. You will also be able to manually delete it from previously created templates.
Restore previous versions
With the Starter plan, you can only restore one previous version of your design. With Professional, you can restore an unlimited number of design versions from your history.
Fast image delivery via CDN
When you send emails or publish pages, there is a certain amount of Internet bandwidth consumed by delivering images and other files. While you can certainly do this yourself, Beefree makes it easy by providing a fast Content Delivery Network (CDN) on Amazon Cloudfront. We provide a certain amount of this bandwidth per month for no additional charge. The limit for this with the Starter plan is 20 GB per month. With Professional, we increase this limit to 250 GB.
Export to PDF
In addition to our standard export options, the Professional plan adds an option to export your designs to PDF.
Custom merge tags and special links
Merge tags and special links allow you to integrate code from third-party platforms such as Mailchimp and Hubspot into your Beefree design. Among other things, this allows you to create dynamic content that will change for each email recipient. With the Starter plan, we offer a library of well-known merge tags and special links. With Professional, you unlock the ability to create your own. This gives you the power to integrate Beefree with virtually any platform you have access to.

Great new features, will rhey all work with Bee plugin too and can we use them with our existing subscription?
Hi Michael, you can certainly pass Merge Tags and Special Links to the Plugin when you initialize it.
With regard to "Projects" and the collaboration feature: no, they are outside of the editor, so they are not part of BEE Plugin. They are part of the application that "hosts" the Plugin, in this case BEE Pro Team.
That said, we are considering the idea of making the "Collaboration" tool an independent product that you can embed in your application, just like you have embedded the editor. Is that something that you would be interested in and willing to pay for? I'm referring to: https://support.beefree.io/hc/en-us/articles/360004495392-Collaboration-a-teamwork-tool-to-share-comment-and-approve-email-campaigns-templates
Hi Massimo, collaboration is not so much what we are looking for. More interesting without having seen it in detail are Projects and also the new features like special links (merge tags we already created ourselves), copy between projects (we would otherwise also implement it ourselves), and the context menu features like sending test mail etc. But we will stick to the plugin version in any case...
Hi Michael, for now we are staying away from providing the "pieces" around the embeddable version of the editor (e.g. template catalog as an add-on for BEE Plugin), but this might change down the road.
For now, the rationale for this decision is that each application handles those features differently under both a functional and "look & feel" point of view.
BeePro is still amazing, and we'll definitely be using it for a long time and hoping for more features. That said, I tried out the new Team plan for a short while and have to say I find it rather disappointing, especially for the price. It feels like what Freelancer should be as it's still focused on a single creator. The "collaborate" feature is more like a "view and comment" which is not my understanding of the definition of collaboration. On the surface the two main features (collab & merge tags) are exactly what I feel is missing from BeePro, but I find neither to be especially useful. The actual need for merge tags is to be able to put in a rendered value to be replaced in test emails and previews, as someone that builds emails and templates like this for a living, copy & pasting merge tags and such isn't really that much of a pain but previewing the actual merge tags leaves the final result still an unknown. For the collaboration portion, this should be collaborative work, not just commentary, more than one person being able to actually edit any template in a project they have access to. The tools you have built are very clean, pretty and easy to use, just not very useful yet.
Hi Thomas, thanks for the candid feedback on the current BEE Pro Team version.
The Collaboration tool right now is indeed used for the final review & approval step in the email production process, where the designer or marketing person asks the decision maker(s) to review/approve the email message and who don't necessarily collaborate or edit the actual message in the BEE editor. This is a feature that will be further developed in the future, especially after we introduce multi-user management (i.e. the ability to add users with their own BEE Pro log-in credentials) in the next few weeks.
So, stay tuned! And, hope that you'll revisit BEE Pro Team.
Hi there,
I recently added another user to my Freelancer plan. Disappointingly, that additional user is not able to connect to his own Gmail for pushing out templates, instead it's still pushing to my Gmail account. That defeats the purpose of having another user.
What is the situation like on a Team plan? Does the whole team still only connect to a single Gmail account, or can different users push to different Gmail accounts?
Hi Hedda, the only BEE Pro plan that allows you to have multiple, independent ESP connectors is the Agency version with the use of Brands. Each brand has its own ESP connector.
Thanks Sergio. That's too much of an upgrade.
Instead: How can I change the target of the connector in my existing account? I changed the email address in my account, but the connector keeps targeting the same old account - even after disabling and re-enabling.
