Hidden Costs

1 items
Why this matters
The advertised starting price is rarely the price you pay at scale. These are the costs buyers most commonly encounter after signing — ones that aren't prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
Basic plan has send caps
The Basic plan caps email sends at 2,500/campaign. High-frequency senders need the Unlimited plan.

Negotiation Reality

What we know

Campaign Monitor negotiates for agency and multi-brand accounts. Annual billing is available. The strongest use case is agencies managing email for multiple clients — the sub-account and permission management is best-in-class for that use case.

Negotiation intel is based on first-hand vendor research conducted by the SBB team, third-party procurement data, and community-reported contract outcomes. Individual results vary. Discounts are not guaranteed.

General tips
  • —Ask at end-of-quarter — sales reps have monthly and quarterly targets
  • —Get competing quotes before your first call
  • —Ask specifically about first-year discounts vs. renewal rates
  • —Request a multi-year rate even if you plan to buy one year
