Hesitating between Constant Contact and Sendinblue?

Constant Contact vs Sendinblue: Pricing

One of the main differences between Sendinblue and Constant Contact is the pricing model.

Constant Contact pricing is based on the number of contacts stored. If you’re a small business with a rapidly growing list, get ready for your email bill to increase over time.

Sendinblue pricing is based on the number of emails sent. You can stored an unlimited number of contacts (even on the free plan) and this will not affect the overall cost.

Bonus: Sendinblue offers a forever free plan that lets you send up to 300 emails a day. Constant Constant only offers a 30-day free trial for email marketing.
