Dragble and Unlayer are both enterprise-grade embeddable email builder SDKs. Dragble matches Unlayer's surface — email, page, popup, and image editing — and goes further on AI: a production MCP server with structured tools so agents edit the live canvas with zero JSON hallucination, an enterprise security model, fully white-label embedding, and entry pricing from $99/mo versus Unlayer's $250/mo. The only builder Unlayer ships that Dragble doesn't is the document builder.

- · Enterprise-ready AI: production MCP server with structured tools — agents edit the live canvas, no prompt engineering, no JSON hallucination.
- · Enterprise security model: three non-overlapping credentials (editor_key, mcp_key, mcp_client_key) — cross-credential misuse is blocked by design.
- · White-label by default: your product owns auth, storage, approvals, and routing.
- · Export everywhere: HTML, minimized HTML, plain text, PDF, image, and ZIP — plus REST APIs and custom storage.

The only difference
Dragble ships the same full feature surface today, at every level. The one builder Unlayer has that Dragble doesn't is the document builder; everything else — email, page, popup, and image editing, AI, exports, and white-label — is available now, at a lower price.
