Its own discounts page confirms only two verified offers: a nonprofit discount (three months free, then 25 percent off) and a 20 percent student discount. Everything else labeled an “AWeber coupon” online is expired, fake, or an affiliate redirect.
That is the short version. The longer version matters, because if you qualify for one of those two programs the savings are real and stackable with annual billing. And if you do not qualify, there is still a free plan, a genuine 14-day trial, and a downgrade path that most people never check. This guide walks through each legitimate lever, then does the honest math on when a discount is just delaying a switch you should already make.

Key Takeaways
No. AWeber’s own coupon and discounts page states plainly that the nonprofit discount and the student discount are currently the only two discounts it offers. There is no active public promo code, no seasonal sitewide sale code, and no secret checkout field waiting for a magic string. If a site tells you otherwise, it is selling you clicks, not savings.
This is actually good news for buyers who value their time. Instead of hunting for a code that will not work, you can go straight to the two levers that do: qualify for a program if you can, and prepay annually to bank the free months. Both are documented on AWeber’s official pages, which is the only source worth trusting for a claim about your bill. You can confirm the current offers on the AWeber coupon and discounts page before you sign anything.
| Offer | Real? |
|---|---|
| Nonprofit discount | Yes, verified |
| Student discount | Yes, verified |
| Annual prepay savings | Yes, verified |
| “50% OFF” checkout code | No, does not exist |

There are five legitimate ways to lower an AWeber bill: qualify for the nonprofit discount, qualify for the student discount, prepay annually, downgrade to a smaller subscriber tier or the free plan, and use the trial before committing. None require a code. All are documented on AWeber’s own pages, which is the standard we hold every claim to.
This is the biggest single lever if you qualify. New nonprofit accounts get three months of AWeber Plus or Lite for free, then a 25 percent discount going forward. To claim it, complete the order form and email your 501(c)(3) paperwork (or the equivalent government document if you are outside the US) to [email protected]. The discount is ongoing, not a one-time credit, so it compounds every billing cycle you stay.
Currently enrolled students get a 20 percent discount with a valid .edu or .ac email address. The process is simple: fill in the sign-up form using your student email, save it as a PDF, and email that to [email protected]. It is a smaller cut than the nonprofit rate, but it is a real recurring discount rather than a one-off promo, and it stacks with annual billing.
Anyone can use this one. AWeber’s pricing page uses the wording “get up to 4 months free” next to the Monthly and Annually toggle. At 500 subscribers, Lite is listed at 15.00 dollars per month billed monthly versus 150.00 dollars per year billed annually, which is where those free months come from. AWeber does not publish a single percentage figure for this, only the up-to-four-months-free framing, so treat any specific percent you see elsewhere as invented. Verify the current numbers on the official AWeber pricing page.
The most overlooked “discount” is paying for capacity you do not use. AWeber prices by subscriber count, so cleaning inactive contacts before a renewal can drop you into a cheaper tier. There is also AWeber Free, which gives you lifetime access at no cost to manage up to 500 subscribers, send 3,000 emails monthly, with 1 list and 1 automation. For a small list, that free tier can be cheaper than any coupon, as documented in AWeber’s pricing documentation.
AWeber’s pricing page states you can try the platform free with a 14-day trial. Some of our older content, and plenty of coupon blogs, still repeat a “60-day trial” claim. That is stale. During the trial, send limits are 12 times your subscriber count per month on Plus plans and 10 times on Lite plans, so you can genuinely test deliverability and automation before paying. Confirm the trial terms on the pricing page rather than trusting a third-party summary.
Most “AWeber coupon code” pages are affiliate machines, not savings resources. They rank for the search, show you a box that says “reveal code,” and route you to a signup link that pays them a commission whether or not any discount applies. The code you “reveal” is usually blank, expired, or simply the standard trial you could get yourself.
Here is the pattern to recognize. Watch for these tells before you waste time on any coupon claim:
The rule of thumb: if a discount is real, it is on AWeber’s own site. If it is only on a third-party blog with an affiliate button, assume it is marketing until AWeber’s pages say otherwise.
A discount lowers a bill you have already accepted. Switching questions the bill itself. If you do not qualify for the nonprofit or student rate, the honest comparison is not “AWeber with a coupon” versus “AWeber at list price,” it is “AWeber” versus “a platform that costs less at your list size to begin with.” That is where the real money usually is.
Mailsoftly prices by contacts on a flat monthly rate, so there is no per-send metering to reverse-engineer. Here is how the paid entry tiers line up (as of 2026-04-15). Compare these against what you are quoted after any AWeber discount, and you can see our full Mailsoftly pricing breakdown for larger lists.
| Mailsoftly plan | Price (annual) | Contacts | Emails / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 500 | 2,000 |
| Basic | $39/mo | 5,000 | 40,000 |
| Business | $79/mo | 15,000 | 150,000 |
| Premium | $159/mo | 30,000 | 300,000 |
The switching friction people fear is the migration. That is why we do it for you. Free hands-on migration means a real person moves your lists, tags, and automations, so you are not rebuilding your program from scratch to save money. When you factor that in, a permanent lower rate almost always beats chasing a temporary code you have to re-hunt every renewal.
Plenty of people should stay, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. If you qualify for the nonprofit discount, three months free plus an ongoing 25 percent cut is genuinely hard to beat, and switching to save more may not be worth the disruption. Students on the 20 percent rate with a small list are in a similar spot.
Stay on AWeber if you are deep into its specific automations, you rely on integrations it handles well, or your list is under 500 subscribers where the free plan already costs you nothing. The switch pays off most for the price-pain group in the middle: growing lists on a paid plan, no nonprofit or student eligibility, and a bill that climbs with every new subscriber. If that is you, a coupon is a band-aid. For a wider view of the alternatives, our Email Platform Comparisons guide lays out the trade-offs by use case.

Yes. New nonprofit accounts get three months of AWeber Plus or Lite for free, then a 25 percent discount going forward. To apply, complete the order form and email your 501(c)(3) paperwork, or the equivalent government document if you are outside the US, to [email protected]. It is a recurring discount, not a one-time credit.
Since no public promo codes exist, use the documented levers instead: qualify for the nonprofit or student discount, pay annually to get up to four months free, clean inactive subscribers to drop into a lower tier, or use the free plan if your list is under 500. Stack annual billing on top of any program discount for the largest legitimate saving.
Yes. AWeber’s official pricing page states you can try the platform free with a 14-day trial. Ignore older “60-day” claims still floating around coupon blogs; they are outdated. During the trial, send limits are 12 times your subscriber count per month on Plus plans and 10 times on Lite plans.
Almost never. AWeber’s own discounts page confirms the nonprofit and student discounts are currently its only two offers. Codes advertised on third-party coupon sites are typically expired, fake, or affiliate links dressed up as discounts. If an offer is real, it will be documented on AWeber’s official pages.
Yes. The 20 percent student discount is a recurring rate, and annual billing (up to four months free) is a separate lever, so the two combine. Sign up with your valid .edu or .ac email, save the form as a PDF, and email it to [email protected] to claim the student rate, then choose annual billing at checkout.
