Constant Contact review

Constant Contact is built for owners who would rather call someone than read a help article. Every plan, including Lite, comes with live 1:1 onboarding and live phone and chat support, which is unusual at this price. Lite starts at $10.20 a month billed annually and covers the drag and drop editor, an AI copy generator, templates, signup forms and automatic posting to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Event hosting, product sales and payments are on every plan too. The limits show up in automation and targeting: Lite has one automation template and one custom segment. Standard, from $29.75, adds scheduling, subject line testing, three automation templates, resends to non-openers and ten segments. Premium, from $68, opens custom automations and unlimited segments. Prices depend on contacts and sends, and sends beyond the allowance cost $2 per 1,000.
