Campaign Monitor plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | On request | 3 | Entry tier |
| Essentials | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Premier | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Campaign Monitor feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Drag-and-drop email builder
- Automation workflows
- List segmentation
- Send-time optimisation
- Landing pages and forms
- Multi-brand management
People bring Campaign Monitor in for a small marketing team wanting straightforward campaign design and automation without a full martech stack, a business with a list under a few thousand contacts and infrequent sends, where the lite tier's cap is not a real constraint, an agency managing multiple brands wanting enterprise-tier multi-brand account management, a team wanting a bundled website builder alongside email on the premier tier. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Campaign Monitor are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Email Marketing
Too few email marketing tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Campaign Monitor badges page.
Before you pay for Campaign Monitor
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Campaign Monitor against the tools that do have one before committing.
Campaign Monitor runs on web, and is published by Marigold (Campaign Monitor) of Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The full record is on the Campaign Monitor review, and the rest of the category is under best email marketing tools.
