Constant Contact pricing at fixed list sizes
Constant Contact sells Lite, Standard and Premium on a contact fee schedule behind a modal. Here is what each plan costs at eight list sizes from a live read of that modal, plus the send allowances, the SMS floors and the Contact Sales empties the page leaves blank.
Snapshot 3, checked 13 September 2026. Recorded outside the cross vendor tables. Vendor pricing page.
Where the ladder starts
- Lite at 500
- $12
- 5,000 email sends, which is the contact count times 10
- Standard at 500
- $35
- 6,000 email sends on the mid plan
- Premium at 500
- $80
- 12,000 email sends and 500 SMS included
Why Constant Contact is recorded here and not in the pricing tables
The six vendors in the cross vendor tables on this site are read off their own pricing pages with a settled rule for which contacts count. Constant Contact publishes usable dollar stops inside a fee-schedule modal, and this page records them, but two gaps keep it off the comparison set for now.
The live capture skipped the 10,001 to 20,000 contact band: asking for 25,000 contacts showed the 20,001 to 25,000 band, so the $280 Lite figure at that breakpoint is the higher band, not a filled gap. Nothing between 25,001 and 49,999 was opened either before Contact Sales at 50,000 and above.
No contact counting rule for unsubscribed addresses was visible on the Constant Contact pricing page or inside the fee-schedule modal on the check date. Without that rule, ranking Constant Contact beside vendors whose contact counting pages are already recorded would claim more than the fee schedule alone can carry. It sits on the watchlist with Omnisend and Klaviyo, dated and sourced here, and out of the free plan records, the contact counting records and the cell counts.
All three plans, all eight breakpoints
Month to month billing on the top line. Annual monthly equivalent underneath, derived from the published 15 percent saving.
Prices are compiled from public vendor pages and can lag behind a change. Cells marked Der are calculated from published rules and cells marked Est are rough figures. Neither is an invoice or a quote, so confirm with the vendor before you spend.

18 of the 18 priced cells are read off the fee-schedule modal, and 6 cells are empty because the modal shows Contact Sales rather than a dollar figure at 50,000 contacts and above. No mid-ladder estimate was invented for the skipped 10,001 to 20,000 band.
Each list size, with sends included and the cost per 1,000 sends
One row per breakpoint, and each row has an address such as #10000. Price and send allowance sit together, because Constant Contact prices the contact tier and the send allowance as one thing.

Send overage, SMS and the yearly price
Read again on the Constant Contact pricing page on 4 October 2026. The page confirms the send multiples, the overage rate and the SMS floors recorded here.
- Monthly email sends are 10 times the contact count on Lite, 12 times on Standard and 24 times on Premium. (Constant Contact pricing page, plan table and FAQ, read 4 October 2026)
- Going over the monthly send allowance does not stop a send. The email still goes out and the extra sends are billed. (Constant Contact pricing page FAQ, read 4 October 2026)
- Each send over the allowance costs 0.002 dollars. (Constant Contact pricing page FAQ, read 4 October 2026)
- Every 1,000 sends over the monthly allowance add 2 dollars to the bill, which is the printed 0.002 dollar rate times 1,000. (Constant Contact pricing page FAQ, which prints the 2 dollar figure, read 4 October 2026)
- Premium includes 500 SMS messages a month. Lite and Standard can add SMS from 10 dollars a month for 1 to 500 messages, on US paid plans only. (Constant Contact pricing page, SMS section, read 4 October 2026)
- Paying for 12 months up front saves up to 15 percent. The page prints the starting yearly prices as 10.20 dollars a month on Lite, 29.75 dollars on Standard and 68 dollars on Premium, which are the 500 contact figures in the table above. The yearly figures at every larger size are still the 15 percent applied to the monthly price, so they stay derived. (Constant Contact pricing page, prepay section, read 4 October 2026)
- The fee-schedule modal, which holds the per-size monthly prices, was not reopened on 4 October 2026. Those prices keep their 13 September 2026 check date. (Constant Contact pricing page, read 4 October 2026) Derived
How Constant Contact decides what to charge
Constant Contact bills on the contact tier shown in its fee-schedule modal. Lite includes 10 times the contact count in monthly email sends, Standard 12 times and Premium 24 times. Emails past the allowance are charged at 0.002 dollars each. Annual billing takes 15 percent off the monthly fee. Premium includes 500 SMS messages a month on US paid plans, and Lite and Standard sell SMS as an add on from 10 dollars a month for 1 to 500 messages. How unsubscribed contacts enter the billable count was not visible on the pricing surface this dataset reads.
On Lite at 10,000 contacts that means 100,000 emails a month. On Standard it means 120,000, and on Premium 240,000. Past those allowances the published overage is 0.002 dollars per email.
What the table cannot show
- Constant Contact is recorded here but is not in the cross vendor tables on this site. The fee schedule sits behind a modal rather than a printed ladder, the live read skipped the 10,001 to 20,000 contact band, and no contact counting rule for unsubscribed addresses was visible on the pricing page, so ranking it beside six vendors with settled contact rules would claim more than is known.
- At 50,000 contacts and above the modal shows Contact Sales rather than a dollar figure, so the 50,000 and 100,000 SideBySend breakpoints are empty on every plan.
- The 25,000 contact row is the 20,001 to 25,000 band price. The 10,001 to 20,000 band was not opened in the live capture, so nothing is invented for a list that would land there.
- Annual prices are derived from the published 15 percent saving rather than typed off a separate annual fee schedule.
- SMS is a separate meter. Premium includes 500 messages a month. Lite and Standard start at 10 dollars a month for 1 to 500 messages on US paid plans. None of those SMS dollars sit inside the email cells below.
