Subscriber-based pricing that scales with your list

Your bill increases at each subscriber tier as your list grows. Even inactive contacts count toward your plan limit.

info

Advanced features locked behind Premier plan

Automation workflows, agency tools, and advanced template customization are only available on the expensive Premier plan.

info

Annual billing required for best prices

Campaign Monitor's best prices require annual billing. Monthly billing costs more, and you're locked into a 12-month commitment for the discount.
