Prices exclude VAT, shown as the monthly price on annual billing unless stated otherwise.
What the price covers: The price list shows the monthly price on annual billing. Monthly billing costs more by the price list’s own “Save” figure (€12/year at 500 subscribers, €48/year at 10,000).
How contacts are counted
Unsubscribed contacts do not count toward the limit, nor do hard bounces and spam complaints, which are marked as unsubscribed automatically. Contacts awaiting double opt-in do not count either. One trap: the same address is counted separately for every list — an address on six lists is six contacts.
