ActiveCampaign is best for small businesses that run email marketing and want automated customer journeys.

  • Small businesses starting with automation

    Starter and Plus give one user email campaigns and multi-step automations for $19 or $59 a month at 1,000 contacts.

  • Online stores

    Ecommerce integrations and automations connect to Shopify, WooCommerce and more than 1,000 other apps.

  • Marketers who want AI to draft the work

    Active Intelligence agents write campaigns in your brand voice, suggest segments and build automations from plain language, with unlimited use on Pro and Enterprise.

  • Larger marketing teams

    Enterprise adds five users, single sign-on, custom objects and a dedicated account team.
