Campaign Monitor

Overview

Campaign Monitor is an email marketing platform owned by Marigold, a marketing-technology group.^[17] It is used by brands and agencies for designed newsletters, campaign automation and reporting, and sells add-ons such as a website builder at US$10 per month and API access.^[17]

The plan line-up comprises Lite, Essentials, Premier and Enterprise. Lite allows 2,500 sends a month, while Essentials and Premier allow unlimited monthly sends; prices are set by a contact-tier selector, and annual billing carries a 10% discount.^[17] The free option is a 30-day trial limited to 500 contacts and 500 emails.^[17] Plan prices were rendered by the page’s contact calculator and could not be captured for this review, so they are omitted here. Campaign Monitor’s emphasis on template design and agency workflows makes it a fit for marketing teams that produce branded newsletters for several clients; it has no paid-subscription feature, no hosted publication website and no reader network, and its trial-only free tier is less generous than permanent free plans elsewhere in this list.
