Constant Contact

What Constant Contact is
Constant Contact is an email marketing service for managing subscriber lists and sending campaigns. It runs on the web and Android, and includes email automation, audience segmentation, landing pages, and A/B testing. The service supports up to 500 subscribers, with plans that all list 500 contacts but set different monthly email allowances and user counts. Lite permits 5,000 sends per month for one user; Standard permits 6,000 sends for three users; Premium permits 12,000 sends and unlimited users. Constant Contact also offers 300 native integrations, giving teams connections to a range of other services. It is a paid product with a 30-day trial and no free plan. The maker, Constant Contact, was founded in 1995 and is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. The listed plan prices are not provided, so the key distinctions are their send limits and seats. For a solo operator, Lite has the smallest stated allowance; organizations needing more users or email volume can consider Standard or Premium.
