Enginemailer: A Smarter ActiveCampaign Alternative
Build your list without limits and pay only when you send more than 10,000 emails monthly.
What Happens With ActiveCampaign's Pricing?
You sign up for email marketing. Your list grows to 2,000, then 5,000 subscribers. Suddenly, your bill jumps from $39 to $205 – and keeps climbing.
No free plan
Only a 14-day trial with 1,000 contacts and 100 emails. After that, you must pay at least $15/month just to continue sending emails.
Contact-based pricing
Your bill increases when your list grows. Add 1,000 subscribers and your monthly cost jumps $50–100+, even if you're not sending more emails.
Essential tools paywalled
The Starter plan limits you to just 5 segments and excludes landing pages and AI tools. To access these, you'll need Plus ($49/month) or higher.
Your email marketing platform should be a partner in your growth, not a barrier.
