ActiveCampaign
Email Marketing
Marketing automation and CRM built around email

Very low-cost email marketing that plugs into Zoho's suite

Zoho Campaigns is not about offering unique feature; it's about price and integration.
At small list sizes, its paid tiers are among the cheapest in the industry, and because it's part of the broader Zoho ecosystem, it connects natively to Zoho CRM, Zoho's other apps, SMS marketing, and dedicated IPs, without needing third-party connectors.
The Forever Free plan covers a useful 2,000 contacts and 6,000 emails a month, and Standard adds unlimited emails, more users, basic segmentation, and drag-and-drop workflows at a price point most competitors don't approach until a higher tier.
Professional adds advanced segmentation, contact scoring, ecommerce cart-abandonment workflows, dynamic content, and send-time optimization, still discounted what comparable features cost elsewhere.
The trade-off for that price is a less polished, less modern interface than Omnisend and Mailchimp. The platform's biggest advantage is native Zoho integration, which only really pays off for a business already using Zoho CRM or other Zoho apps.
For a Zoho customer, or a business optimizing for the lowest cost per feature, Campaigns is a genuinely strong value.
Connects directly to Zoho CRM and other Zoho apps without third-party connectors, syncing contacts and activity automatically.
Standard and Professional tiers undercut most competitors at comparable feature levels, particularly at small-to-mid list sizes.
Cart abandonment and purchase follow-up workflows on the Professional tier, comparable to features that cost more elsewhere.
Advanced segmentation with contact scoring and dynamic content personalization on the Professional tier.
Sends to each recipient at their predicted optimal open time and adjusts for recipient time zone automatically.
Forever Free plan covers up to 2,000 contacts and 6,000 emails/month. Standard starts around $3/mo, billed annually.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual /mo | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $4 | $3 | Unlimited emails to 500 contacts |
| Professional | $6 | $4.50 | Batch sending, dynamic content, pop-up forms |
