The record

Product: Redactor 5 is an embeddable WYSIWYG editor with structured content, a JavaScript API, full source code, and optional Suites.
Use: Redactor is a web content creation application installed on your website, not a desktop app.
Frameworks: The maker provides setup examples for React, Vue, Next.js, and Angular; Redactor is written in vanilla JavaScript and requires no third-party framework.
Content formats: The editor can accept HTML content or a JSON array of blocks in Redactor’s native format.
AI integration: The Assistant Suite connects to the customer’s own backend and model provider, and Imperavi does not charge per request or token.
Email editing: Email Suite exports email-oriented HTML and provides mobile and dark previews, but does not send email or include a delivery service.
Licensing limit: The maker says Redactor may be used in an open-source project only if the product containing it is not publicly available, such as on GitHub.
Updates: Core includes one year of updates within its current major version; new major versions are optional paid upgrades, with a 50% discount for existing customers.
Security: Redactor includes client-side paste sanitization, URL filtering, and an HTML sanitizer, but the maker advises validating and sanitizing content server-side.
Payment security: The maker says Stripe processes credit card payments and Imperavi does not store or see credit card data.
Browser requirements: Redactor requires a modern browser with JavaScript and HTML5 support and is tested in recent Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Support and documentation: The maker provides guides, API reference, examples, plugins, and a changelog; purchase and licensing inquiries are directed to its listed email address.
