ActiveCampaign alternatives: eight email tools set against its prices

Yearly billing makes Brevo Starter the cheapest option here, against ActiveCampaign Starter's $15. Monthly billing costs $9.

You get 500 contacts and 5,000 emails a month. ActiveCampaign Starter gives you 1,000 contacts and 10,000 sends. Size your list first.

Mind the commitment. A paying plan binds you for the whole subscription. Brevo's terms refund no prepaid or unused fees. If you want a refund window, look at Mailchimp.

Constant Contact Lite costs $10.20 a month billed annually. ActiveCampaign Starter costs $15.

Cancel within 30 days of signing up and you get a full refund. That makes a trial switch low risk.

Extra sends bill at $0.002 each, so every 1,000 over your allowance adds $2. Your plan price also moves with contact count and sends.

You get 3 seats on MailerLite Comfort for $10.80 a month billed yearly. ActiveCampaign Starter gives you 1 seat for $15.

Monthly billing costs $12. A 14-day trial lets you test it first.

The catch is the quota. Pass 500 contacts or 5,000 emails and MailerLite bills the next tier. Your refund window closes 30 days after your last transaction.

AWeber Lite costs $12.50 a month on yearly billing, against $15 for ActiveCampaign Starter. You get 3 seats where Starter gives 1. Seats matter if a second person sends campaigns.

You get 14 days free, long enough to move one list and check it.

Pay monthly and the saving vanishes. AWeber Lite then costs $15, the same as ActiveCampaign Starter. Choose yearly billing or pick another tool.

Pay annually and Mailchimp refunds you within 60 days, twice Constant Contact's 30.

Essentials starts at $13 a month for 12 months, against $15 for ActiveCampaign Starter. You can try it free for 14 days.

Monthly plans are the catch. Mailchimp refunds no monthly plan, and overage charges land for the prior monthly cycle. Its terms can change without notice. Pick annual billing or skip it.

ActiveCampaign Starter's $15 assumes yearly billing. GetResponse Starter lets you pay monthly instead, at $19.

A 12-month term costs $15.58 a month. Contacts over your list size cost $4 for every started block of 1,000.

The catch is the refund policy. GetResponse's terms say it issues no refunds, even if you cancel right after a charge. If you may want your money back, choose Mailchimp or Constant Contact.

Klaviyo lists a free plan, so you can test your list before you pay. The Email plan then costs $20 a month for 500 profiles and 5,000 emails. ActiveCampaign Starter costs $15.

Fee increases come with 14 days of notice. Mailchimp's terms allow changes without notice.

The exit is the catch. Fees are non-refundable.

Cancelling on a non-monthly cycle needs 30 days of notice. Past your usage, plans upgrade automatically.

Kit Creator costs $33 a month billed yearly, or $39 monthly. ActiveCampaign Starter costs $15.

You get 2 seats and 1,000 contacts, the same contact count ActiveCampaign prices at. A 14-day trial lets you test it.

Fees add up for sellers. On Creator, Kit keeps 23.5% of Paid Recommendations earnings. Kit refunds no fees already paid when you cancel.
