Share the canonical public link.
ActiveCampaign implemented changes in November 2025 to charge for all contacts including unsubscribed, bounced, and unconfirmed ones. Starter plan pricing stands at $15/month for 1,000 contacts with Plus at $49/month and higher tiers scaling upward. Comparisons published in 2026 highlight how contact-based scaling differs from competitors offering flat or lower per-contact rates. The policy affects new and legacy users transitioning to updated plan structures introduced in mid-2024. ActiveCampaign provides no free plan beyond a 14-day trial.
