Constant Contact alternative
Stop paying more just because your list grows.
Constant Contact has served small organizations and nonprofits for decades, with events and social tools bundled alongside email. GoodPostal takes a different shape:$19 a month plus metered sending, unlimited contacts, with delivery billed at cost by an email sending service you own.
The Constant Contact bill grows with your list. Ours does not.
Constant Contact prices on contact count, with plan tiers that bundle extras like social posting tools many small senders never touch. For the small teams and nonprofits it serves, that means the email budget quietly rises with every season of list growth, whether or not the organization sends more email.
GoodPostal charges for the work, not the roster: $19 a month flat with unlimited contacts, $0.05 per 1,000 emails sent, and delivery at cost through an email sending service you own. Verified nonprofits pay half, which makes the growth-proof math twice as friendly for the organizations Constant Contact built its name on.
Here is what that means in real numbers. At25,000 contacts with weekly sending, Constant Contact runs $280 a month. The GoodPostal stack, software, sending, and Amazon SES delivery included, comes to $34 a month all-in, roughly 8x less. And that gap widens every time your list grows.

The whole bill
What the all-in price actually includes.
No hidden line items, so here is the whole bill. Three parts, two of them tiny.
Software
$19 a month
The whole platform: editor, contacts, groups, campaigns, A/B testing, tracking, analytics, every feature on every plan. Unlimited contacts, always.
Sending
$0.05 per 1,000 sent
GoodPostal’s sending fee depends on the number of emails you send. Store as many contacts as you need.
Delivery
At cost
Your email sending service’s own rate, paid directly to them (Amazon SES: $0.10 per 1,000 emails). Six services are supported; we help you pick one during setup and never mark delivery up.

- Import contacts and lists as GoodPostal groups, typically in about half an hour
Why stay on Constant Contact? (honestly)
- Event management, registration, ticketing, and payments
- Social posting and advertising tools
If these are the features you lean on daily, staying may be right. We would rather say that plainly than win a comparison table.
In their words
Why people switch.
Public reviews from Constant Contact customers, linked to the source, with the GoodPostal answer under each.
“The cost is based on the total number of contacts stored in my list, and not on the volume of emails sent. If I have a large database but only communicate occasionally, the monthly bill quickly becomes very painful.”
GoodPostal bills the opposite way: by what you send. An occasional sender with a big list pays $19 and cents.
“The monthly cost grows exponentially as the contact database expands, which represents a heavy financial burden for a growing business.”
Your database can grow without your software bill moving. Verified nonprofits pay $9.50.
“They’ve taken a lot of that functionality away… they say it’s not included in our current plan / pricing and we need to pay more.”

GoodPostal has one plan. When we ship a feature, it lands on that plan, for everyone.
