Constant Contact vs MailPoet
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
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 €75/mo (Premium). It bills by country — entry $10/mo to a US reader and £8/mo to a UK reader, 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.
MailPoetsite ↗pricing ↗
An email plugin that sends newsletters from inside WordPress, using your existing site as the subscriber list. Paid plans start at €10/mo (Business); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at €30/mo (Agency). It bills by country — entry $10/mo to a US reader, from our same-day reads.

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.
