Email Marketing Cost Calculator

Enter your contact count, monthly email volume, and current software cost to see what you're spending on email marketing today, and how that compares to a lower-cost alternative.

Example: a growing list

With 2,000 contacts and 8,000 emails sent per month at $49/month, that's $588/year currently - versus an estimated $0/month ($0/year) consolidated, a potential $588/year in savings. Enter your own numbers above to see your real total.

Methodology

Your current annual cost is your monthly software cost multiplied by twelve. The estimated alternative cost is based on typical pricing tiers for your contact count on an all-in-one platform - always verify current pricing before switching providers.

Data source: Systeme.io's published pricing tiers by contact count. Last price check: September 2026.

Frequently asked questions

How is the alternative cost determined?
It's based on Systeme.io's published pricing tiers by contact count: free up to 2,000 contacts, then increasing flat tiers as your list grows. See the methodology section below for the last price check date.
Does my monthly email volume affect the estimate?
No - the estimate is based on contact count and your current monthly cost. Email volume is shown for context only, since most all-in-one platforms price by contact count rather than send volume.
What if the estimate shows $0 in savings?
We cap the estimate at $0 rather than showing a negative number. If switching wouldn't save you money at your current contact count, that's shown honestly rather than manufacturing a fake saving.
Is this comparison specific to Systeme.io?
Yes - the alternative cost uses Systeme.io's published tiers specifically, since that's the platform we cover in depth. It isn't a blended average across multiple providers.
