1.0.0• Version 1 Launch
We're thrilled to announce that after 18 months of work, Parcel is coming out of beta and into Version 1! Version 1 brings exciting new features and the start of our new Business subscription tier, which offers even more functionality for teams and professionals.
Parcel now has three subscription tiers. Pick the tier that best matches your needs and budget.
The community tier is for anyone who wants to try out Parcel. It's free to use - ideal for those prototyping and testing emails.
The Pro tier is for professionals building production emails. It includes all of the features of the community tier plus screenshots, uploadable assets, multiple workspaces, more test send recipients, more shared users, and access to powerful snippets and components.
The Business tier is new with the Version 1 launch. It's the highest feature tier and unlocks all current Parcel functionality - perfect for teams and companies working at scale. The Business tier adds remote data fetching, web scraping, one click AMP generation, and SpamAssassin.
