Constant Contactsite ↗pricing ↗
One of the oldest email marketing services, aimed at small businesses and non-profits, with event invitations and social posting alongside email. Paid plans start at $12/mo (Lite); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $80/mo (Premium). It bills by country — entry €12/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads. Constant Contact publishes every plan as a 'starting at' figure that climbs with your contact count, which is why the bill and the advertised price drift apart over time.

Paid plans start at $25/mo (Lite); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $54/mo (Everything). Its published prices moved on 2026-08-29 — the change log holds the rows. Flodesk retired the flat unlimited price for new members on 2 December 2025, by its own FAQ. Anyone who chose it for that reason is now shopping again.
Kitsite ↗pricing ↗
An email platform built for creators — writers, course sellers, podcasters — organised around subscriber tagging and selling rather than around campaigns. Paid plans start at $33/mo (Creator); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $66/mo (Pro). Kit gives away up to 10,000 subscribers, so people looking past it are almost always after a feature rather than a price.

How to choose in this category
- Most tools price by list size — a quoted price is only true at a stated subscriber count, so re-check the ladder at yours.
- Free tiers differ in what they cap: subscribers, sends or features. Two ‘free plans’ are rarely the same thing.
- Headline prices are often the annual-billing rate; the pay-monthly figure sits higher.
