A Constant Contact alternative with a CRM built in
Constant Contact helps small businesses run email, social, SMS and event marketing. A Constant Contact alternative like Clivly makes sense when the bigger gap is managing customers: who owns a deal, what was promised and what happens next.
We could only verify Constant Contact's prices in Australian dollars, so this page explains its pricing model rather than stating a saving.

How Constant Contact pricing compares
Constant Contact prices Lite, Standard and Premium by contact tier and email sends. On the Australian pricing view we read, Lite started at A$12.75, Standard at A$33.15 and Premium at A$137.70 per month billed annually. Its fee schedule lists email overages at $0.002 USD each.
Clivly bills in US dollars by member and monthly email volume. Clivly is a CRM first, so a workspace always has at least one seat, and that seat includes contacts, deals, tasks, chat and the team inbox.
No cost scenario is shown because we could not verify Constant Contact's US dollar prices for matching contact tiers. Use the Clivly calculator on the pricing page to price your own volume.
Prices exclude taxes, and vendors change them often. Clivly estimates use Pro and our pricing calculator's rules.

- Deals, tasks, notes and calendar are part of the product.
- Your application's data maps into the CRM through the SDK.
- Unlimited members and connected apps, paid per member.
