New Campaign Monitor single team accounts created from 3rd August, 2026 will be utilizing our latest billing system, powered by Chargebee. If your account was created on or after this date, some information in this article may not apply to you — see Chargebee monthly billing for the current billing article.
Pay per campaign billing means there are no up-front fees and no ongoing costs to use the product. Payment is only required when you send email, making it ideal if you only send occasionally.
Payment methods
Campaign Monitor accepts six currencies for account billing, and the standard payment method is via credit card.
If you don't have a credit card, the only alternative is to purchase email credits in high volume (500,000 email credits or more), in which case we can arrange other payment options.
Select pay per campaign billing
To select pay-as-you-go billing for your account:
- Click your profile image at the top right, then select Billing.
- If you're already on a monthly plan, click View or change your plan. If not, you'll be taken straight to the "Choose a plan" page.
- On the "Choose a plan" page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Try paying per campaign.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to select the pay per campaign plan.
You will now only pay for services as you use them. You can either provide credit card details in advance, or we'll prompt you for payment details when it's time to pay.
