The differences that actually show up in your day-to-day work - and your annual invoice. No marketing fluff, just what changes when you switch.
When customers tell us why they finally moved, the answers cluster around the same handful of things. Recognize any of these?
Campaign Monitor's strength is its template library and design polish. Once you need branching automations, behavioral triggers, or multi-step lifecycle sequences, you hit a low ceiling. The Premier tier opens more, but the price jumps before the feature gap closes.
Mailsoftly: full automation builder with triggers and branching on every paid planCampaign Monitor's Basic plan is per-campaign (charges go up as you send more), and Unlimited+ are per-subscriber. The model creates surprise bills if you send a lot, or surprise feature gaps if you send seldom. The right tier depends on your sending cadence, not your list size.
Mailsoftly: per-contact pricing, full automation included, no per-campaign throttlingCampaign Monitor's trial sends just 5 emails total before paywalling. You can't realistically evaluate the product before committing budget. Most modern ESPs (Mailsoftly included) offer a real free tier you can run on for months.
Mailsoftly: 500 contacts and 2,000 emails free, no time limit, no card requiredCampaign Monitor's parent Marigold (CM Group) owns a portfolio of ESPs (Sailthru, Selligent, Vuture, etc.). Engineering bandwidth is split across the portfolio, and the SMB Campaign Monitor user is no longer the primary roadmap driver.
Mailsoftly: independent product, focused on the SMB email marketing use case, weekly improvementsNo downtime. No data loss. No technical headaches. Our team moves your account from Campaign Monitor while you keep sending.
All plans include AI features, automation, segmentation, and free migration from Campaign Monitor. No annual contract required. Annual billing saves about 20%.
Real customers, in their own words. Businesses leave Campaign Monitor to escape rising costs and limited automation. They stay with Mailsoftly for real human support, better segmentation, and pricing that scales without surprises.
We've been using Mailsoftly for over a year to manage our clients' newsletters and automations. Outstanding customer support - they respond lightning fast and always go above and beyond. The platform is intuitive, efficient, and packed with features that make email marketing a breeze.
As an entrepreneur it is always guesswork when trying a new piece of software, but Mailsoftly comes with not just the elegance of use but the support of the creator of the program itself. The design interface is familiar and easy to work with, and there is the rare comfort of knowing that one is working with a company that cares, top to bottom.
I am extremely pleased with this service. I was using another platform previously and in comparison this is a much better service at a lower cost. The customer service has been top notch - quick & effective. Things were done promptly and with great care. I could not recommend their services more.
No. We import your Campaign Monitor contacts, lists, custom fields, and email templates. Your Campaign Monitor account stays active during the cutover so there's zero risk of data loss. Automation journeys are rebuilt in Mailsoftly's editor - we'll help map them in the free 1-2 hour setup call.
Most SMB accounts are live and sending in 1-2 hours, on a single Zoom call. We start with a 30-minute scoping segment, then our team handles imports, template rebuilds, automation recreation, and domain authentication while you watch. We send your first campaign together at the end of the call. Complex multi-step automations may need a follow-up session, and domain warm-up continues in the background over the next 7-10 days.
No. We help you authenticate your sending domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and walk you through your first campaign. For most common domain registrars, we can apply the records for you. If you have an in-house IT team, we'll send them clean instructions instead.
Yes - free for any list size. We don't gate it behind a tier or charge a setup fee. Whether you're moving 800 contacts or 80,000, our migration team handles the move at no cost. The only thing you pay for is the monthly plan once you've switched over.
Our team recreates your existing automations step-for-step inside Mailsoftly - welcome series, behavior-based flows, tag rules, and segments. We walk you through each one before anything goes live, so nothing surprises your subscribers. Done by a person on our team, not handed off to a script.
No contract required. Pay monthly, cancel anytime. If you'd rather pay annually, you'll save about 20% - but it's optional, never required. We don't believe in trapping people who would rather leave.
Pricing is published transparently on the pricing page for every tier from 500 contacts up to 30,000. Above 30,000, we offer custom pricing on the same Mailsoftly product - no upsell to a different tier with extra "enterprise" features you don't need. You'll always know what next month costs.
