Constant Contact charges premium prices but locks real automation — custom workflows, dynamic content, multi-channel campaigns — behind its most expensive Premium tier. DailyStory gives you unlimited automations, SMS, a full API, and a dedicated account manager starting at $100/mo. No overage fees. No automation paywalls.
Constant Contact’s 2025 pricing overhaul moved key features — custom automation, dynamic content, multi-channel campaigns — to the Premium tier. Growing businesses pay more and get less flexibility than modern alternatives provide as standard.
Constant Contact limits custom automation paths to Premium ($80+/mo). Standard only offers three pre-built workflow templates. DailyStory includes unlimited, fully custom automations from day one.
Constant Contact SMS is US-only and requires a paid add-on starting at $10/mo — with no multi-channel automation combining email and SMS. DailyStory includes SMS in every plan with deliverability scoring, globally.
Constant Contact charges $0.002 per email sent above your plan limit — meaning a busy month can add unexpected charges to your bill. DailyStory prices are predictable with no overage fees.
Constant Contact’s API covers basic contact and campaign management. DailyStory’s full RESTful API and JavaScript SDK expose the entire platform — letting your developers build custom integrations, triggers, and workflows.
Constant Contact users widely report difficulty cancelling — often requiring a phone call to a retention team. DailyStory is month-to-month with no long-term contract and no cancellation friction.
While Constant Contact has 300+ integrations via third-party connectors, DailyStory includes native built-in connections to Salesforce, Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Stripe, and Mindbody at no extra cost.

Constant Contact’s pricing looks accessible until you need automation, dynamic content, or SMS. DailyStory includes everything from the start — no tiers to unlock, no overage fees to worry about.
Constant Contact exports contacts cleanly via CSV. Your DailyStory account manager will walk you through the full transition — including recreating automation sequences and connecting your integrations.
Book a migration callIn Constant Contact, go to Contacts → Lists, select your lists, and choose Export. Export as CSV with all contact fields, engagement data, and tags you’ve applied.
Upload your CSV to DailyStory’s Contacts importer. Map Constant Contact fields to DailyStory properties and recreate your list structure as segments.
Recreate your Constant Contact templates in DailyStory’s builder. Now build the custom automation paths you couldn’t afford in Constant Contact’s Premium tier — at no extra charge.
DailyStory lets you add SMS steps directly into the same automation workflows as your emails. This is the multi-channel capability Constant Contact charges extra for and still doesn’t fully support.
Your DailyStory account manager confirms your setup, reviews deliverability, and is available ongoing — not a call center ticket you have to fight your way through.
Unlimited custom workflows, SMS, dynamic content, and a dedicated account manager — all included at $100/mo. No overage fees, no Premium tier wall, no phone-call cancellations.
