Pros and cons
MailerLite
Pros
- Comfort is among the cheapest paid plans here: $19/month (monthly) at 1,000 subscribers
- 50 automations with up to 100 steps on Comfort, enough for most small businesses
- Websites, landing pages, digital products and paid newsletters in one account
- 14-day premium trial with no card, and nothing is deleted when it ends
Cons
- Free plan cut to 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails/month in June 2026
- Comfort caps monthly sends at 10x your tier ceiling
- Transactional email and SMS need MailerSend, a separate product with its own pricing
- Existing paid accounts move to the new Comfort or Power prices at renewal
GetResponse

- Creator plan adds webinars (100 attendees), courses and paid newsletters
- 18% annual discount, larger than MailerLite's 10%

Constant Contact alternatives
Switch to MailerLite for more automation at the same starting price. Pick Brevo for SMS beyond the US, and stay with Constant Contact if live phone support matters most.
MailerLite alternatives
If you already pay, MailerLite Comfort is still one of the cheapest plans with real automation. If the new 250-subscriber free plan is too small, Kit (free to 10,000 subscribers) or Brevo (priced by sends) are the best ways out.
