Email Marketing & Automation Pricing

ShinePages is excited to offer a full email marketing & automation platform under the umbrella of the ShinePages platform.

While you can certainly choose to use external 3rd-party email marketing platforms (click here to see the email providers we integrate with) we hope this in-house option will provide a valuable marketing tool with the convenience of having everything together in one ecosystem.

Similar to other email marketing platforms, there is a charge based on the number of subscribers on your list. Our pricing has been set as low as possible to provide solopreneurs not only the convenience of a one-stop shop but the features and affordability to compete with other platforms.

Each ShinePages plan comes with a small number of initial subscribers for free: 50, 100 & 500*. (See Pricing Plans page)

From there, pricing is based on list size and can easily be scaled as your list grows.

*Why isn’t ShinePages email marketing free? Why aren’t more subscribers included for free?

If you look at the “free” plan from any other platform (those that offer them) you will notice that these are very limited in functionality and with non-removable company branding. Most business owners quickly realize the "free" plan on any platform is not built to fully serve their business needs.

For example, Mailchimp does have a free plan for up to 2,000 contacts, however, their free plan does not include multi-step automation, scheduling, and a/b testing, and has only 1 audience (plus non-removable Mailchimp branding). When you move into their more comparable Essentials plan it starts at 500 subscribers for $13 (ours is $7) and a 10x email send limit (ours is 12x). Their plan goes up to 50,000 subscribers at $350/month. Our 50,000 subscriber plan is $209 and in fact, you can go up to 100,000 contacts for $288.

We felt it was important to provide full functionality within the ecosystem for those who are looking for an "all-in-one" style platform. Our goal is to provide ease of use, the ability to utilize existing tags and contacts that are already a part of the platform, set goals, etc., and to have one point of contact for those who don't want to deal with integrating multiple platforms.

As you can imagine, it is not a simple nor inexpensive endeavor to create & serve this complex and comprehensive functionality, and while we wish it could be completely free, that is just not a reality.

Of course, the option still remains to integrate with other external platforms if you wish.
