Constant Contact Lite is cheaper than Kit Creator at 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 contacts. At 25,000 contacts Creator is the cheaper entry plan, the only overlapping stop where it wins.

At 25,000 contacts Lite is $280 against Creator at $199. At 50,000 and 100,000 contacts Constant Contact leaves the public fee schedule and shows Contact Sales, so those cells stay empty rather than invented. Kit Creator still sells 100,000 subscribers at $679, the price of its 105,000 stop.

Kit Newsletter free through 10,000

Send allowances and SMS

Constant Contact includes 10 times the contact count in monthly email sends on Lite, 12 times on Standard, and 24 times on Premium. Past the allowance the published overage is 0.002 dollars per email. At 10,000 contacts Lite therefore includes 100,000 monthly sends.

Kit Creator and Creator Pro include unlimited email sends on paid plans. Newsletter free also includes unlimited sends inside the free subscriber ceiling.

SMS sits beside the email bill on Constant Contact. Premium includes 500 SMS messages a month on US paid plans, and Lite and Standard sell SMS as an add on from $10 a month for 1 to 500 messages. Kit does not publish a comparable SMS meter in this dataset. Neither SMS meter is inside the email cells above.

What each one counts, and who has a free plan

Kit. Kit bills confirmed subscribers only, and its help pages list every other status as outside the billing total: unsubscribed, complained, bounced, blocked and unconfirmed. Hard bounces are unsubscribed automatically. Newsletter free covers the first five SideBySend breakpoints.

Constant Contact. 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. No free plan record sits in this dataset for Constant Contact, so none is claimed here.
