The short version

  • Only Constant Contact has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Braintree vendor overview page names no transaction fee percentage or fixed charge, requiring a separate signup flow to see pricing; Constant Contact core plan started at $9.99 per month and Plus plan at $45 per month, both scaling by contact list size rather than a flat rate (Internet Archive capture, 2022)
