Constant Contact pricing

What Constant Contact costs tier by tier, why the contact count drives the bill, and where the steep scaling bites.

Constant Contact prices by the number of contacts you store, across three tiers. There is no permanent free plan, only a 60 day trial, then Lite, Standard and Premium. The headline numbers below are for 500 contacts, the lowest band, and the important thing to know is how steeply the price climbs with your list: Standard, for example, runs closer to $110 per month at 5,000 contacts. Annual prepay trims about 15 percent. Below is each plan as published, then the things that move the number.

What moves the real bill

Contacts and the steep scaling set the bill.

Four things tend to separate Constant Contact's entry price from what teams actually pay. Plan for these before you commit.

→ Contacts drive the band, steeply. Pricing is tied to your contact count and the jumps are sharp; Standard moves from about $35 at 500 contacts to roughly $110 at 5,000, so a growing list raises the bill fast.
→ Features are gated by tier. Automation, A/B testing and segmentation live on Standard and above, so the real cost is often the tier you need, not the Lite headline.
→ SMS is an add on. Text message marketing is billed on top, starting around $10 per month for a small message bundle, so cross channel campaigns add a budget line.
→ Annual prepay for the saving. The roughly 15 percent discount needs a yearly commitment, so the low effective rate assumes you pay for twelve months up front.
