AWeber Alternatives

Brevo is the alternative most AWeber leavers should try first, for the two things AWeber struggles with: value and a modern feature set. Its free plan has no contact limit, sending up to 9,000 emails a month, and its send-based pricing means you pay for what you actually send rather than how big your list is, which keeps costs low as you grow. It scores 4.5 on both ease and value against AWeber's 3, bundles SMS and even a light CRM, and feels distinctly current. AWeber still wins on support, its 4.7 is genuinely better than Brevo's 4.0, and its onboarding hand-holds beginners more gently. Brevo is the better call when you want modern features and headroom for the money, and the worse call if round-the-clock support is your top priority. See the full Brevo vs AWeber comparison for the details.

Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is the alternative built for creators in a way AWeber never was. It is designed around newsletters, audience growth and monetisation, with paid newsletter subscriptions, tip jars, a creator network for recommendations and clean tagging instead of clunky lists. Its free plan reaches a generous 10,000 contacts, ease scores a high 4.6, and feature depth is a strong 4.5, both ahead of AWeber. Where AWeber wins is value at small scale and support: Kit's paid plans start around $39 and its value sits at 3.8, while AWeber's free tier and onboarding are friendlier for absolute beginners. Kit is the better pick when your business is your audience, and the worse pick if you just want simple newsletters on a budget. The full Kit vs AWeber comparison digs deeper.

If you are leaving AWeber because its automation feels thin, ActiveCampaign is the answer. It has the most powerful visual automation builder in this list, with branching logic, conditional paths, behavioural triggers and a built-in sales CRM, so marketing and sales run on the same data. Feature depth scores 4.5 against AWeber's 3.4, and it integrates with almost everything. The trade-offs are real: there is no free plan, only a 14-day trial limited to 100 contacts, and all that power makes it harder to learn, with ease at 3.5 against AWeber's friendlier 4.2. ActiveCampaign is the better pick when automation is the point, and the worse pick if you want simple newsletters or a free tier. See ActiveCampaign vs AWeber for the full breakdown.

Sender is the alternative for anyone leaving AWeber over the free plan and price. Its permanent free plan supports 2,500 subscribers, five times AWeber's 500, with unlimited automation even on free and 24/7 support that scores a standout 4.6. Value is a strong 4.5 against AWeber's 3, and SMS is built into paid plans, so you can run email and text from one place. Where AWeber wins is feature depth at the top end and its larger integration library: Sender scores 3.2 on integrations against AWeber's 4.1, and its advanced features are lighter. Sender is the better pick when a big free plan and low cost rule, and the worse pick if you need deep integrations or advanced reporting. The full AWeber vs Sender comparison covers it.

Drip is the alternative for ecommerce, something AWeber treats as a general use case rather than a specialty. It is built around online stores, with prebuilt revenue workflows, deep Shopify and WooCommerce integration, and automation that triggers on browsing, carts and purchases. Feature depth scores 4.3 against AWeber's 3.4, and its ecommerce focus is genuinely useful for stores. The honest trade-off is price: Drip starts at $39 a month with no free plan, and value scores a low 2.8, the softest in this list. Drip is the better pick when your revenue lives in a store and you want automation built for that, and the worse pick for simple newsletters or a tight budget. See AWeber vs Drip for the detail.

Campaign Monitor is the alternative for teams who care about how email looks and who manage email for others. Its templates are among the most beautiful in the market, its drag-and-drop editor is a pleasure at 4.3 on ease, and it has dedicated agency features: a client dashboard, private labelling, granular permissions and special agency pricing. For design-led brands and agencies, that is a real edge over AWeber. The trade-off is value: pricing climbs steeply with contacts and the entry tiers are thin, so value scores a low 2.6 against AWeber's 3, and support is more hit-or-miss at 3.2 against AWeber's 4.7. Campaign Monitor is the better pick for design and client work, and the worse pick when budget and support matter most. The full AWeber vs Campaign Monitor comparison covers it.

Moosend is the alternative for senders who want modern features at the lowest paid price. It starts at just $9 a month, leans hard into AI-powered segmentation and behavioural triggers that usually cost far more elsewhere, and stays easy at 4.3 on ease. Value scores a healthy 4.0 against AWeber's 3, and its 30-day trial is generous. Where AWeber clearly wins is support: Moosend's was the weakest in our test at 2.6, well below AWeber's class-leading 4.7, and there is no forever-free plan, only a trial. Moosend is the better pick when low cost and AI tools matter, and the worse pick when you rely on responsive support or a free tier. See AWeber vs Moosend for the breakdown.

ExpertSender is the alternative for the top end of the market, where AWeber simply does not compete. Built on a customer data platform, it runs omnichannel messaging across email, SMS, web and mobile push, with segmentation rated among the best in the industry, high deliverability, ISO 27001 certification and a managed, white-glove service. Feature depth scores 4.4 against AWeber's 3.4, and support is strong at 4.2. The trade-offs are equally clear: pricing is custom and enterprise-grade, value scores a low 2.4, there is no free plan, and ease is just 3.1 against AWeber's friendly 4.2. ExpertSender is the better pick for high-volume ecommerce and enterprise, and the worse pick for small senders or anyone on a budget. The full AWeber vs ExpertSender comparison covers it.
