Prices exclude VAT, billed monthly unless stated otherwise.
What the price covers: Prices in dollars — systeme.io does not bill in euros. The table figure is the price of the cheapest paid plan (Startup); a 500-contact list usually does not need it, because the free plan holds 2,000 contacts. Two months free on annual billing. Startup 5,000 contacts, Webinar 10,000.
How contacts are counted
The plan limits are contact counts (free plan 2,000, Startup 5,000, Webinar 10,000). All nine contact-management articles in the help centre were read on 5 September 2026: none of them says which contact statuses count toward the plan limit. The guides advise cleaning the list, but the counting rule is not published. So we claim nothing either way until it can be read or has been asked from support.

- The price is the monthly price of the cheapest paid plan at that list size. The Free plan column shows when you do not have to pay.
- EmailOctopus and ActiveCampaign: the price list only shows the monthly price on annual billing. Monthly billing costs more.
- GetResponse and ActiveCampaign: the smallest list sold is 1,000 contacts, so the 500-contact column shows that price.
