What you pay for
The fine print, side by side.
The list price is half the story. Here’s what each bill actually counts, and what happens when your list grows.
How your tier is set
Constant Contact
By the highest number of active contacts you’ve ever had. Deleting contacts doesn’t lower it.
Mailmanny
By your subscribed contacts today. Clean your list and you can move down a tier whenever you like.
Going over your plan
Constant Contact
Grow and you’re moved up a tier automatically. Sends over your allowance cost $2 per 1,000, and bounces count as sends.
Mailmanny
Nothing is ever charged automatically. We email you at 90% and 100%, signups keep coming in, and you choose when to move up.
Who counts
Constant Contact
Active contacts. Bounced contacts stay active, and keep counting, until you remove them.
Mailmanny
Only subscribed contacts count. Unsubscribed, bounced, cleaned and unconfirmed contacts stay on your list at no cost.
Plan to start on
Constant Contact
No free plan: a 30-day trial with 100 sends.
Mailmanny
Free plan: 500 contacts and 1,000 emails a month, for as long as you like.
