Questions about ActiveCampaign

Does ActiveCampaign have a free plan?

No — only a 14-day free trial. Entry pricing starts low but scales with contacts and features.

Is ActiveCampaign overkill for a simple newsletter?

Usually yes. Its strength is multi-step automation and CRM; pure newsletters are better served by Kit, beehiiv, or MailerLite.
