Email editor SDKs

5 products in this dataset are built specifically for email: they export table-based HTML with inline CSS that survives Outlook's Word rendering engine, which general-purpose page builders do not do.

Email is the one editing niche where a general-purpose builder is the wrong tool by default. The output has to be table-based HTML with inline styles, and the differences between clients are only discoverable through a rendering test lab, which is exactly what the commercial email SDKs sell.
