Constant Contact
Constant Contact · Marketing & Email
One of the original email marketing platforms (founded 1995), positioned as the beginner-friendly alternative to Mailchimp for very-small-business and nonprofit segments. Distinctive for its 98% inbox delivery rate and dedicated live-support model — unusual in the SMB email space. Restructured 2026 with 3 published tiers (Lite/Standard/Premium) plus custom Teams tier for franchises and multi-location businesses. Lite starts at $12/mo monthly ($8.40 annual) for 500 contacts scaling by list size. 30% off first 3 months promo currently active. Owned by Endurance International / Newfold Digital.
In other words, Constant Contact is worth it for very-small businesses, nonprofits, and event organizers who want email + basic automation + live phone support — particularly if you've outgrown MailerLite's free tier and want more hand-holding than Mailchimp offers. Lite covers newsletter-only needs with 1 automation template; Standard adds A/B testing and 3 automations; Premium unlocks unlimited automations, SEO recommendations, and Google Ads manager; Teams for multi-location businesses. Very easy setup with award-winning support (rare in SMB email). Native integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Salesforce, and 300+ apps. Downside: automation depth still lags ActiveCampaign/Klaviyo, and prices scale aggressively with contact list size (base $12 quickly becomes $80+ at 5K contacts).
