Comparison
Flodesk vs Constant Contact pricing

Flodesk includes unlimited email sends on every paid plan. The Flodesk 100,000 column stays empty on every plan. Contact Sales empties above 25,000 stay empty.

Constant Contact Lite is cheaper than Flodesk Lite at 500 contacts only. From 1,000 contacts through the last overlapping monthly stop, Lite is the cheaper entry plan wherever both publish a figure.
At 1,000 contacts Lite is $25 against Lite at $30. At 25,000 contacts Lite is $162 while Lite monthly stays empty rather than guessed. Lite then hits its 25,000 subscriber ceiling and is not sold at 50,000. At 100,000 contacts every Flodesk cell stays empty (none) rather than inventing a midpoint between nearby slider stops. Constant Contact Standard and Premium leave that stop empty on the recorded ladder as well (none), so nothing is invented on either side.

The headline price is not on the same billing terms
- Constant Contact Lite
- $30
- $25.50 paid yearly, about 15 percent off and the figure the pricing page leads with
- Flodesk Lite
- $25
- $19 paid yearly from the published one month free rule
- Free plans
- Neither sends free
- Constant Contact has no free email send plan on the recorded ladder. Flodesk free covers forms and landing pages and does not send email.
Constant Contact shows annual billing by default. A month to month buyer pays $30 at the entry stop, not the $25.50 headline. Flodesk annual dollars come from the published one month free rule. Comparing the two headlines therefore mixes an annual calculator default with a monthly slider matrix.
Send allowances, SMS and what each one counts
Paid Flodesk Lite, Pro and Everything include unlimited email sends. Constant Contact meters sends under the contact tier.
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.
SMS sits beside the Constant Contact email bill. Premium includes 500 messages a month on US paid plans. Lite and Standard sell SMS as an add on from $10 a month. None of those SMS dollars sit inside the email cells above.
Flodesk. Soft bounced contacts still count toward the tier. Unsubscribed, hard bounced, cleaned, archived and deleted contacts stay off it. Lite stops at 25,000 active subscribers, then auto-moves to Pro.
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. Confidence on that question is none.
