Pay per campaign billing means there are no upfront fees and no ongoing costs to use Campaign Monitor. You only pay when you send a Campaign, making it ideal if you send occasionally or prefer flexible, usage-based billing.
How it works
- You are charged only when a campaign is sent
- Pricing is based on the number of recipients included in that send
- Final charges are calculated at the time of sending to capture any last-minute changes in your subscriber list
- Taxes are calculated at send time and shown on your invoice
- You can save a credit card in advance, or we’ll prompt you for payment when you send
How to switch to pay per campaign
To change from a monthly plan to pay per campaign:
- Click your profile image at the top right, then select Billing
- Click Change plan
- On the "Choose a plan" page, scroll to the bottom and select Try paying per campaign
- Follow the on-screen instructions
Note: Switching to pay per campaign takes effect immediately. Any features or add-ons tied to your current plan will no longer be available once the change is made.
Things to keep in mind
- Credits are not available for purchase or use on pay per campaign
- Features that require a plan, such as journeys and transactional email, will be unavailable once switched
- Depending on your location, tax may apply at the time of send
- You can change your billing model at any time if your account setup allows
