ActiveCampaign brings email marketing and AI-driven automation together, but contact-based pricing and CRM add-ons make it pricier than it first appears.

MailerLite balances ease of use with a solid feature set, making it a strong pick for small businesses and creators on a modest budget.

beehiiv packs newsletter publishing, audience growth, and monetization into one platform, with a useful free plan and no subscription revenue fees.

Moosend combines strong email automation, 130+ templates, and an AI writer from $7/month. A solid pick for SMBs that want pro features without enterprise pricing.

Benchmark Email offers a generous free plan and a polished drag-and-drop editor, but lacks automation and A/B testing even on paid tiers.

Campaigner is a contact-based email platform with solid automation on its Advanced plan, though key tools like Reputation Defender cost extra.
