AWeber\u2019s grandfathered pricing ended on December 15, 2024, and long-time customers were moved from the old Pro plan to the new Plus plan at 50\u2013150% higher rates: $19 became $30 at 500 subscribers, $49 became $90 at 5,000, and $69 became $135 at 10,000. If you\u2019re reading this, there\u2019s a fair chance one of those numbers was on your last invoice. Add a Lite plan that caps you at three automations and three landing pages, an ecommerce fee of up to 1% on sales, and an interface that still feels like the mid-2010s, and the question stops being whether to look at alternatives and becomes which one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short version: Mailercloud is the best AWeber alternative in 2026<\/strong> \u2014 a free plan for 1,000 contacts and 12,000 emails a month (double AWeber\u2019s 500), then $10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited automations, A\/B testing, and Inbox Tracker to show you where your emails actually land.
