The real cost of email
What a year actually costs, side by side.
Contact-based platforms bill you every month based on how many people are on your list — whether you send or not. Bulletin bills you only for what you send. Here is what that difference looks like over a year.
| Platform | Model | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| Mailchimp | ~$75–$100/month by contact tier | ~$900–$1,200 |
| Constant Contact | ~$80/month by contact tier | ~$960 |
| Bulletin | 60,000 sends per year | ~$110 |
| Platform | Model | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| Mailchimp | Contact-tier pricing | ~$3,200+ |
| Constant Contact | Contact-tier pricing | ~$4,000+ |
| Bulletin | 300,000 sends per year | ~$540 |
Competitor figures are typical published rates as of mid-2026 and change frequently — verify current pricing on each provider's site before comparing. Bulletin figures assume every contact receives every email; send less often and you pay less. Branding removal, which costs extra on several competitors, is included with Bulletin.
What sending actually costs
Realistic annual scenarios.
| Organization | List size | Frequency | Sends per year | Bulletin cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HOA | 400 households | Monthly | 4,800 | ~$10/year |
| Local shop | 800 customers | Monthly | 9,600 | ~$20/year |
| Faith community | 500 members | Weekly | 26,000 | ~$60/year |
| School PTA | 1,500 families | Twice monthly | 36,000 | ~$80/year |
| Small town | 2,000 residents | Twice monthly | 48,000 | ~$90/year |
| Restaurant | 1,000 subscribers | Twice monthly | 24,000 | ~$50/year |
Every dollar you don't spend on software is another dollar you can invest in serving your community.
Common questions
What counts as a "send"?
One email delivered to one contact uses one send. If you email a list of 1,000 people, that's 1,000 sends. If you email 50 people, that's 50 sends.
Is there really no monthly fee?
Really. You buy sends when you need them, and that's the whole bill. Store as many contacts as you like and add as many teammates as you like at no charge.
Do sends expire?
No. Sends stay on your account until you use them, so buying a larger package ahead of time is never wasted.
Is anything gated behind a higher plan?
No. There are no plans. Every customer gets unlimited contacts, unlimited teammates, Canva import, domain sending, reporting, branding removal, onboarding, and support.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Your first 500 sends are free, with no credit card required. Add a payment method only when you're ready to buy more sends.
Can you help us move from Mailchimp or Constant Contact?
Yes. Migration assistance is included. We'll help you export your subscriber list, import it safely into Bulletin, and set up your sending domain. See why organizations switch.
Your list should grow. Your bill shouldn't.
