ActiveCampaign

No. ActiveCampaign has no permanent free plan. It offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card. After that, plans start at $15 per month billed yearly ($19 billed monthly) for Starter at 1,000 contacts.

The trial runs on the Pro feature set for 14 days with 1 user and 100 email sends. Test emails go only to your own address, and SMS, custom landing page domains and the Preference Center are not available. You are not charged unless you upgrade.

At 1,000 contacts, billed yearly: Starter $15, Plus $49, Pro $79 and Enterprise $145 per month. Billed monthly: $19, $59, $99 and $179. Prices rise with your contact count.

Sends are capped at a multiple of your contact limit: 10x on Starter and Plus, 12x on Pro and 15x on Enterprise. Extra sends cost $0.005 each, and sending stops for the month if overage reaches three times your limit. One-to-one and transactional emails do not count.

The CRM is a paid add-on on Plus, Pro and Enterprise, not on Starter. Pipelines costs $49, $85 or $119 per month on monthly billing, and Pipelines & Sales Engagement costs $85, $139 or $199 per month.

Yes. ActiveCampaign's own startup program gives 90% off any annual plan for the first year. The startup must be under 2 years old, in an incubator or an alum from the past 12 months, and have raised no more than $1 million. It is for new customers only.
