See our SendX comparison and Constant Contact comparison for individual deep dives.

The Price Difference

At 10,000 subscribers:

• SendX: $59.99/month
• Constant Contact: $120/month

SendX is 50% cheaper. But Constant Contact includes features SendX lacks entirely.

What Constant Contact Bundles

Beyond email, Constant Contact includes:

• Event management: RSVPs, ticketing, promotion
• Social posting: Post to Facebook, Instagram from one platform
• Surveys: Collect feedback from subscribers
• SMS marketing: Available on higher tiers
• Phone support: Excellent human help

SendX offers email with basic landing pages and push notifications.

When SendX Makes Sense

Pure Budget Priority

If you can save $60/month by giving up features you won't use, SendX's savings are significant. Not every business needs events and social.

Email-Only Focus

If your marketing is genuinely email-only, why pay for social posting and event management? SendX focuses on core email.

Unlimited Sends Matter

SendX offers unlimited sends. Constant Contact caps at 10x subscriber count. For frequent senders, SendX removes limits.

Self-Sufficient Teams

If you don't need phone support and prefer figuring things out yourself, SendX's chat support suffices.

When Constant Contact Wins

Event-Based Business

Constant Contact's event management is unique among email platforms. For businesses hosting events—workshops, seminars, classes—this integration is valuable.

Social Media Management

Posting to social from your email platform simplifies workflow. If you manage social alongside email, Constant Contact bundles this.

Support Needs

Constant Contact's phone support is excellent. For small businesses without marketing expertise, talking to humans matters.

SMB Track Record

Decades of serving small businesses means Constant Contact understands SMB needs. Templates, features, and support are designed for this market.

For SaaS Companies

Neither platform is built for subscription businesses:

• No native Stripe integration
• No MRR or subscription segmentation
• Constant Contact's features target local SMBs, not software companies

For SaaS-specific automation, Sequenzy offers Stripe integration and AI sequences at $49/month for 10,000 subscribers (120k emails).

The Verdict

Choose Constant Contact if you need event management, social posting, phone support, or prefer an established SMB platform. The premium buys genuine additional capability.

Choose SendX if you only need email marketing, budget is primary, and you're comfortable with self-service support.

Choose Sequenzy if you run a SaaS and need subscription-aware automation with native Stripe integration.
