Constant Contact is one of the oldest email marketing platforms with strong brand recognition. It is popular with small businesses and non-profits for its simplicity. However, the platform has not kept pace with modern email marketing needs — automation is basic and deliverability tools are minimal.

The key differences are: (1) Migomail has unlimited email sends — Constant Contact Core caps at 10× contact count. (2) Migomail automation supports complex multi-branch workflows — Constant Contact automation is basic linear sequences. (3) Migomail includes blacklist monitoring, DMARC reporting, and inbox placement testing — Constant Contact does not. (4) Migomail has no free plan but offers a 14-day trial with a better free-forever tier for small lists.
Constant Contact has very limited automation compared to modern email platforms. Basic autoresponders, welcome emails, and anniversary emails are supported. Complex multi-step sequences with conditional branching, behavioural triggers, and AI-powered personalisation are not available. Migomail automation is significantly more capable at the same price point.
Constant Contact Core starts at $12/month for 500 contacts. Migomail starts at $15/month for 2,500 subscribers — three times the contact capacity for a slightly higher price, with unlimited sends instead of a 5,000 send limit. At 10,000 contacts, Constant Contact Plus costs approximately $80/month; Migomail Growth covers 10,000 subscribers for $45/month.
No. Constant Contact does not offer DMARC aggregate report processing, blacklist monitoring, or inbox placement testing. Migomail includes all three in paid plans plus standalone email security services including Hosted DMARC and Email Threat Intelligence.
Yes. Export your contact list and unsubscribe/bounce suppressions from Constant Contact. Import to Migomail. Automation workflows must be rebuilt. Templates can be imported in HTML format or rebuilt using the Migomail template library.
"Switching to Migomail cut our email costs by 40% and our inbox placement jumped to 98.7%. The onboarding team set up DKIM, SPF, and DMARC in a single call — and our campaigns have been running flawlessly ever since."
