What you actually get
Free plan
Commonly cited:
- 500 contacts
- 2,500 emails/month
- Unlimited landing pages
- 1 website
- Signup forms and popups
- 14-day access to premium features (commonly for evaluation)
- Limitations: commonly no webinars beyond 10 people, no marketing automation, no paid newsletters, no live chat
Commonly cited: usable for someone with a list of 200–300 who sends occasionally. The 2,500 emails/month cap is commonly described as the binding constraint for active senders.
Email Marketing (commonly reported ~$13.30/mo annual)
Commonly cited:
- 1,000 contacts
- Unlimited emails
- Unlimited landing pages and websites
- Drag-and-drop email editor
- A/B testing (subject lines, content)
- Signup forms, popups, surveys
- Basic segmentation
- Integrations (commonly cited: Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress)
Commonly cited catch: no marketing automation, no webinars, no advanced segmentation. This is commonly described as a real email tool, not a marketing automation tool.
Marketing Automation (commonly reported ~$59/mo annual)
Commonly cited:
- All Email Marketing features
- Visual automation builder (commonly cited 40+ triggers, 80+ actions)
- Webinars (up to 100 attendees)
- Webinar funnels (registration page, reminder emails, replay page)
- Lead scoring
- Webhooks
- Conditional content
- Advanced segmentation
Commonly cited: this is the plan most businesses actually need. The automation engine was commonly rebuilt in 2025–2026 and now commonly rivals ActiveCampaign for non-B2B use cases. The webinar feature is commonly cited as included — no need for a separate Zoom Webinar or WebinarJam subscription.
Creator (commonly reported ~$69/mo annual)
Commonly cited:
- All Marketing Automation features
- Course platform (commonly cited unlimited courses, no transaction fees)
- Paid newsletters
- Premium templates
- Live chat support
Commonly cited for course creators: the course platform is commonly described as usable but not as polished as Teachable or Thinkific. If courses are 80% of your business, a dedicated tool is commonly still better. If courses are commonly 20% of your business and you don't want to manage another subscription, this commonly works.
MAX (custom)
Commonly cited:
- 100,000+ contacts
- Dedicated sending IP
- Account manager
- SLA-backed support
- Custom integrations
- Enterprise SSO
Commonly cited: for large businesses, pricing is custom, commonly reported starting around $539/mo at 100,000 contacts per multiple reviews.

What about the 14-day free trial?
Commonly cited: the free plan commonly comes with 14 days of premium features (Email Marketing tier, not Marketing Automation). You can commonly use this to test the email editor, A/B testing, and integrations before committing. After day 14, you're commonly back to the free plan limitations.
