The verdict

AWeber logo AWeber
Best for buyers who want a clear entry price

AWeber publishes a $15/mo Lite plan for 500 contacts, a known floor Constant Contact's facts don't state here. Both bill by contacts and cover drag-and-drop building, templates, A/B testing, AI content, automation, and ecommerce. Pick AWeber for an upfront, contact-based starting price.

Best for adding SMS alongside email

Constant Contact offers built-in SMS marketing (500 messages on Premium; an add-on from $10/mo on lower tiers); AWeber has no SMS. Email features are otherwise close: both include drag-and-drop building, A/B testing, AI content, automation, and ecommerce. Choose Constant Contact to run SMS and email together.
