The short version

  • Only Constant Contact has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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); OneCause pricing page names three tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Nationals) but publishes no dollar figures, requiring a request for the pay-as-you-go rate and a custom quote for Enterprise and Nationals, as of August 2026
