Frequently Asked Questions

You can create an account for free to try Campaign Monitor and send an email campaign to five contacts. If you exceed the contact limit, you will have to buy the paid plan starting from $9/month, where you can send emails to 500 contacts. For a more affordable alternative, you can consider using Mailmodo.

Campaign Monitor is not HIPAA compliant. Although they’ve signed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Campaign Monitor won't allow you to utilize their service to send emails containing Protected Health Information (PHI). If you’re looking for a HIPAA compliant ESP, consider using Mailmodo.

Subscribers have frequently expressed frustration with Campaign Monitor for its high spam rates and occasionally blocked servers. Use Mailmodo if you want a higher deliverability rate. We assist clients with domain warming, stop spammers, and provide advice on increasing deliverability rates.

If you use Campaign Monitor, you will be set back by $89 per month for sending emails to 10,000 contacts. If this sounds pricy, consider using a more affordable alternative like Mailmodo and make the most of your budget.

Import contact info into Mailmodo to ensure the data on Campaign Monitor you want to maintain will still be available when the migration is finished. However, only import clean lists, and for testing reasons, send an email to an engaged list right away.
