How to choose the right plan for your business

  • First, you need to consider the number of contacts you have. If you have more than 500 contacts, then you’ll need to upgrade to the Plus or Pro plan.
  • Secondly, you need to consider your automation needs. If you require sophisticated features such as managed email delivery or advanced segmentation & list filtering options, then you’ll likely want to upgrade to the Pro or Enterprise plan.
  • You should also take into account any free trials that ActiveCampaign offers. ActiveCampaign currently offers a 14-day free trial on all of its plans, so you can get a feel for the software before committing to a subscription. Additionally, it offers a free Lite Plan with up to 500 contacts and basic features such as email marketing and automation builder.
  • Finally, it’s important to consider the support offered by each plan. All plans include live chat support, but the level of support varies depending on the plan. The Lite Plan includes free live chat support while the Plus and Professional Plans include priority and VIP live chat support respectively.

In conclusion, ActiveCampaign offers four different pricing – Lite ($9/month), Plus ($49/month), Professional ($129/month), and Enterprise (custom pricing). Each plan comes with an increasing number of features as well as monthly contact limits.

  • When choosing a plan for your business, it’s important to consider factors such as the number of contacts you have, your automation needs, any free trials offered by ActiveCampaign, and the level of support included in each plan.
