Why businesses switch from Constant Contact

Most teams hit one of these four walls - usually all four.

When customers tell us why they finally moved, the answers cluster around the same handful of things. Recognize any of these?

01

Pricing jumps fast as your contact list grows.

You start cheap, then every milestone - 2.5K, 5K, 10K - bumps you into a noticeably more expensive tier. By 5,000 contacts you're already at $110/mo.

Mailsoftly: $49/mo at 5,000
02

Automation feels limited for real customer journeys.

Welcome emails are easy. But branching flows - "if they opened, then…", "if they clicked product A, then…" - quickly hit the ceiling of what's actually buildable.

Visual flows + tags + conditions
03

Segmentation and reporting lack flexibility.

"Donors who gave in the last 12 months." "Clients in active engagements." Common segments take more clicks than they should - and don't refresh on their own.

Saved segments, refreshed every send
04

Hands-on support is harder to get than you'd expect.

The moment you have a real question - deliverability, a stuck automation, a list import gone weird - you're back in a ticket queue waiting for a Tier 1 reply.

Real humans on email, chat & Zoom
Mailsoftly fixes these without forcing you into complex enterprise plans.

Common questions about switching

Real questions, plainly answered.

Will I lose my data when I switch from Constant Contact?

No. We safely import all your contacts, lists, segments, tags, custom fields, and campaign templates. Your existing Constant Contact account stays untouched until you tell us you're ready to cut over - so there's no risk of data loss in the middle of the move.

How long does the migration take?

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. Prefer no calls? We can run the entire migration by email instead: request your quote, mention email, and we handle the same steps without a single meeting.

Do I need any technical setup myself?

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.

Is the migration really free, even for large lists?

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.

What about my automations and welcome series?

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.

Is there a contract or annual commitment?

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.

What if my list grows? Will the price keep jumping?

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.
