MailerLite vs Campaign Monitor: the same campaign in both

The practical difference

Campaign Monitor, whose pricing page is signed Campaign Monitor by Marigold, sells monthly Lite, Essentials and Premier plans, or an annual contract on any plan. Its 30-day free trial covers 500 contacts and 500 emails.

Sending limits

Campaign Monitor's Lite plan sends five times your subscriber count a month, and Essentials has unlimited sends. MailerLite Comfort sends ten times the top of your subscriber tier, and Power is unlimited under a fair use policy.

Teams and permissions

Campaign Monitor lists unlimited users on every plan, each with a unique login. MailerLite Free has 2 seats, Comfort 3 and Power unlimited, with custom user permissions on Comfort and Power.

Cost

Billed monthly at 1,000 subscribers, MailerLite Comfort is $19 a month and Power $39. Campaign Monitor prices by contact count on its own page; this guide gives none.

Send timing

Campaign Monitor lists time zone sending and send time optimization. MailerLite has both: delivery by time zone is a free feature, and Smart sending, which picks a send time for each subscriber, comes with Comfort and Power.

Which option should you choose?

Choose Campaign Monitor if your team wants unlimited users on any plan and a 30-day trial. Choose MailerLite if you want a free plan to start, or websites, landing pages and digital products in the same account.

MailerLite opens every new account with a 14-day trial of premium features and no card requirement.
