Constant Contact alternatives
The 9 closest of 15, each with its real monthly cost at 5,000 contacts and what it does that Constant Contact does not. See all 18.
Brevo does everything we verified about Constant Contact for $48 a month less at 20,000 emails against Constant Contact at 5,000 contacts, $32 against $80. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Constant Contact is built for a mature platform with a large ecosystem and deliverability as the pitch and Brevo is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Why people look for an alternative
The band steps are steep (Lite is $30 at 1,000 contacts and $80 at 5,000) and there is no free plan, no paid newsletters and no landing pages on the plan comparison, so a creator or a tiny list pays more here than almost anywhere else on this list.
It runs $80 a month at 5,000 contacts with the add-ons it forces on you included. 13 of the 15 alternatives to Constant Contact cost less than that.

How to read the feature lines
Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with the list and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other twelve are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
Or let it pick for you
This page compares everything to Constant Contact. The shortlist asks 6 questions about what you send and how big your list is, and gives you four picks priced at your own list size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
