Moosend vs Campaign Monitor

Neither vendor shows plain dollar or euro amounts in the pricing text we could read, so the comparison starts with how each one meters you. Moosend prices Pro by contact count and lets you buy email credits that do not expire. Campaign Monitor sorts plans by contact tier too, but gives Premier and Essentials unlimited monthly sends and unlimited users. Moosend is now a Constant Contact company, and Campaign Monitor is part of Marigold, while neither site states a clear country on the pages we read.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Both are reviewed in full in our email marketing ranking: Moosend and Campaign Monitor.

1. 01

   A trial that tests automation, or one that caps email

   Moosend gives 30 days without a card, with 2 team members, one published automation workflow and one unpublished landing page and form. Its FAQ says the trial includes unlimited sends for up to 1,000 contacts, and the page calls it a trial, not a free plan. Campaign Monitor also gives 30 days, but limits the trial to 500 emails. For testing a real automation, Moosend lets you do more before paying.

2. 02

   Sends, credits and monthly caps

   Campaign Monitor's Premier and Essentials plans carry unlimited monthly sends, while Lite is capped at 2,500 monthly sends. Moosend offers pay-as-you-go email credits in USD: 350,000 for $350, 500,000 for $500, 750,000 for $750 and 1,000,000 for $1,000. Purchased credits do not expire. The two models answer different worries, a hard cap on the cheapest tier against a stock of credits you spend at your own pace.

   Depends on the buyer

3. 03

   Contact tiers and the discounts around them

   Moosend prices Pro by tiers from 500 to 1,000,000 contacts with monthly, biannual and annual billing, saving 15% biannually and 20% annually, with nonprofits getting an extra 25%. Campaign Monitor's slider runs from 0-500 contacts to 50,001+, with 10% off annual plans and 15% for nonprofits. Its FAQ gives a 20% Essentials annual offer for new customers until 3 January 2027. The pages we read show no figures for Moosend Pro or for Campaign Monitor's plans.

   Depends on the buyer

4. 04

   Seats and who picks up the phone

   Campaign Monitor lists unlimited users on Premier and Essentials, phone support on Premier and priority support on Essentials. Moosend gives 2 team members on the trial, 5 on Pro and 10 or more on Enterprise, with Moosend+ showing team members as an add-on. For an agency adding colleagues and clients to one account, the unlimited-user wording is simpler. Moosend's pricing text names no support channel.

5. 05

   Automation builder, forms and site pages

   Moosend names an automation workflow builder, landing pages, subscription forms, A/B testing, segmentation, an SMTP server and a transactional email API on its home page. Campaign Monitor lists unlimited automated emails on Essentials and send-limited automated emails on Lite, and its drag-and-drop website builder is included on Premier but costs EUR 9 per month on Essentials and Lite. Our notes call its automation basic, which suits design more than lifecycle work.

   Parent companies and the missing country

   Moosend's home page says it is now a Constant Contact company, and its privacy policy lists no address. Campaign Monitor's about page presents it as Campaign Monitor by Marigold without acquisition details, and its terms URL returned 404. Our category data lists Campaign Monitor under the United States, but no page we opened states a country. Both are hosted services with no self-hosted option stated, so jurisdiction questions go to the vendor.

   Depends on the buyer

Can I see a plain price for Moosend before signing up?

The pricing page we read shows contact tiers and discounts but no dollar amount for Pro, Moosend+ or Enterprise. Only the pay-as-you-go credits carry figures, from $350 for 350,000 credits. Costs appear after you choose a contact tier.

Does Campaign Monitor bill in euros?

Its FAQ says prices are per month in EUR, with USD, CAD, GBP, AUD and NZD arrangeable. The amounts did not render on the page we read, so we state no figures.

The EUR 9 monthly website builder add-on on Essentials and Lite is the one number we saw.

Which trial lets me send more mail?

Moosend's FAQ says its 30-day trial includes unlimited sends for up to 1,000 contacts. Campaign Monitor's 30-day trial limits you to 500 emails. Moosend asks for no card, and the Campaign Monitor page does not say either way.
