1. Big Money Savings for Your Business.
Constant contact doesn’t offer a free plan and the cheapest ($20/mo) gives you only 500 contacts and limited functionality. (For full functionality, it’s $45/mo and still only 500 contacts.)
The prices go up from there.
With Gist, you get 500 contacts for free and up to 2500 contacts for our other plans (+$10 per 1000 after that).
To put that in perspective, Constant Contact will give you up to 2500 contacts, email marketing and a touch of automation for $70/mo. Gist’s most expensive plan is $79/mo and offers our entire suite of tools — and up to 2500 contacts.
Starting at 2501 contacts, Constant Contact will cost you either $65/mo (for their most basic plan) or $95/mo for their “Email Plus” plan.
