What to check before you buy

Questions to answer, ideally during a free trial or a demo, before you commit:

  • Pricing by number of contacts.
  • Template flexibility.
  • Automation depth.
  • Integrations you need.
  • US tax and compliance. Software doesn't replace professional advice on payroll, sales tax or industry rules.
  • Getting your data out. Ask how you would export your data if you ever switch.

Pricing

Constant Contact pricing depends on the plan, number of users and add-ons, and vendors change it often. We don't list prices on overview pages; check the current plans on the official Constant Contact website. Our full review will break down the real cost.
