Constant Contact Pricing: What Are the Fees for Each Plan?

Wondering how much Constant Contact will cost you? This pricing guide will help you chose the right plan by letting you know what you really need and what you don’t.

Constant Contact offers two different types of plans:

1. The basic Email Constant Contact plan is meant for small teams or freelancers that don’t need the most advanced email marketing features (more info in our table below).
2. The Constant Contact Email Plus plan is great for managing teams and is the right choice if you need features like automations, event management or online surveys.

An overview of Constant Contact Pricing

The basic Email plan starts at $20/month for 500 contacts, while Email Plus starts at $45/month. A 15% discount applies to 6-12 month plans, and a 30% discount is available to nonprofits. Constant Contact can be trialed for 60 days (no credit card required) and it has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Of course, if you have more subscribers the price for Constant Contact will increase, as you can see below:

Note: Be aware that they offer plans for larger lists. If that’s your case, check Constant Contact’s website for more information.

Being 100% honest, I think there are better tools out there that can do a more effective job than Constant Contact (e.g. GetResponse or Active Campaign) at even lower prices (e.g. MailerLite). These tools are particularly better at automations and list segmentation.

Constant Contact do score pretty well in our deliverability tests, but is it worth the high prices?

Constant Contact Prices & Plans: Final Thoughts

The Email plan is aimed at small organizations or solopreneurs that don’t rely on email marketing solely. It’s designed for those that send a campaign here and there and don’t need / want email automations and other advanced features. Nonetheless, it’s still a bit costly and for that price you can find much better tools.

Take into account that if you have a list of over 10,000 contacts, your Constant Contact plan would include all the Email Plus features (read below).

Automations and having up to 10 users are, probably, the most useful upgrades of the Email Plus plan. This plan is meant for bigger organizations that need the advanced Constant Contact features. However, there are still smarter tools out there that do a better job at segmentation and email automation.

Another thing to take into account is that you won’t have unlimited storage (for files and images) with Constant Contact. The Email plan will offer 1GB and the Email Plus will grant you 2GB. This should be OK for most marketers.

Constant Contact has discounts when you purchase their services for longer periods. You’ll get 10% off when signing up for 6-month deals and a 15% discount for yearly plans. Before you lock yourself down with one of these long contracts, double-check that Constant Contact is indeed the best tool for you.

Another interesting Email Plus feature is the online donations, where you’ll be able to create a landing page and collect donations using WePay.

I have to say that Constant Contact is, ultimately, a very expensive tool. Especially when compared to more powerful alternatives at similar (or cheaper) prices. Sadly, it doesn’t have a free plan either, but you can try it for free for long enough before you decide.
