Q: Will I lose any subscribers or data when migrating?

No. Mailercloud's import tool preserves all your subscriber data — contacts, custom fields, tags, and segments — when you upload your CSV. There is no downtime and no data loss during the migration process.

Q: What exactly are AMP emails and why do they matter?

AMP emails are interactive emails that allow subscribers to take actions — fill in forms, browse product carousels, respond to surveys, or RSVP to events — directly inside their inbox without clicking through to a website. Mailercloud supports AMP emails natively on all plans. Constant Contact does not support AMP emails on any plan.

Q: Is Mailercloud suitable for eCommerce?

Yes. Mailercloud supports eCommerce use cases through advanced segmentation, purchase-based automation triggers, transactional emails via Email API and SMTP, and real-time revenue tracking analytics. It integrates with Shopify and WooCommerce.

Q: What level of support does Mailercloud provide?

Mailercloud offers email and live chat support on all plans, including the free plan. The support team is rated 4.8 stars on Capterra for fast response times and helpfulness. Enterprise customers also get a dedicated account manager.

FAQ

Common Questions

How hard is it to switch from Constant Contact to Mailercloud?

Very easy — the whole process takes under 30 minutes. Export your list from Constant Contact as a CSV, then import it directly into Mailercloud. Our contact, lists and custom-fields carry over automatically. Our onboarding team is available via live chat to help every step.

Will I lose any subscribers or data when migrating?

No. Mailercloud imports every standard CSV field including subscriber name, email, custom attributes and tags. Suppression and unsubscribe lists are preserved so you stay compliant from day one.

What exactly are AMP emails and why do they matter?

AMP emails let recipients interact — fill forms, RSVP, browse a carousel — inside the inbox itself without clicking out to a landing page. The result is dramatically higher engagement and conversion. Constant Contact does not support AMP on any plan.

Mailercloud is up to 57% cheaper at the same contact tier. Our free plan covers 1,000 contacts and 12,000 emails/month with no credit card required. Constant Contact starts at $12/mo for 500 contacts and locks automation behind a $35+ plan.

Is Mailercloud suitable for eCommerce?

Yes. Mailercloud integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce and major eCommerce platforms via native integrations, Zapier, and our REST API. Abandoned-cart, post-purchase, and revenue tracking flows are included.
