Frequently asked questions

You can try Constant Contact for 60 days for free if you’re living in the US. If you’re outside of the US, you can try it for free for a month to send 2,400 emails monthly to 100 contacts. But only on the condition that you share your payment details upfront. After a month, you’re upgraded to the paid plan, which can be expensive for companies just starting out. On the other hand, Constant Contact alternatives like Mailmodo are more affordably priced.

We recommend you to use Constant Contact if you run events and want to manage registrations and invitations via email marketing. But we don’t recommend the tool for businesses that need advanced automation. They offer basic automations but flexible and sophisticated automation workflows are missing. Instead, Constant Contact alternatives like Mailmodo offer custom multistep automations at a more affordable price. Mailmodo also had a way better price-performance ratio, as compared to Constant Contact.

A common complaint among Constant Contact users is that they often have to ask their customers to whitelist their emails to ensure they’re receiving newsletters. The IPs from Constant Contact are found in many blacklisted databases such as Mxtoolbox. Constant Contact’s high spam rate can deter you from achieving good email deliverability.To go spam free and achieve better deliverability, we suggest using Mailmodo. We provide you domain warmup, quality product support, no spammy contacts, and abundant expert consultations.

You can sign up for Omnisend’s free plan and send up to 500 emails monthly. However, if you find the trial plan too limiting, you can consider taking advantage of Mailmodo’s free trial plan.

If you’re not able to build complex workflows with Omnisend, it is likely that you’re among the many customers who have complained about its limited automation capabilities. If you’re looking for an automation solution that offers you pre-made workflows, custom triggers, and endless integrations, try Mailmodo. It’s a great Omnisend alternative.

Omnisend has a poor deliverability rate, which leads to your users’ low inbox placement rates. Want to achieve better email deliverability? You can rely on Mailmodo's dedicated servers, warmed up domain, and suppression management strategies.
