Price-change log
What changed, in plain English
A dated, sourced log of the 2026 moves that made people look at switching. We only list changes we can point to on an official page or a cited source. This is not a complete history of every vendor promotion.

We re-checked every price in the calculator against official vendor pages. Most list prices were unchanged. Kit’s official table shows $679/month for Creator at 100,000 subscribers ($619 is the price at 95,000), and in-between tiers for Kit, MailerLite, and EmailOctopus are now included so mid-size lists are not over-quoted. GetResponse’s Marketer plan, already on its official pricing page, was added. ActiveCampaign’s list prices could not be re-read from a public official table, so they are flagged as not re-confirmed.

Existing Beehiiv customers began renewing onto the new 2026 prices at their first renewal on or after this date. New-customer prices had already changed on 1 October. Beehiiv’s own post says plans were renamed and repriced; confirm your renewal date in your account.

Beehiiv’s new plan names and prices took effect for new customers. On the official table (checked 14 November 2026), Free still covers 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends; Lite starts at $59/month at 1,000 subscribers ($49/month if paid annually); Pro starts at $109/month at 1,000 subscribers. Paid subscriptions have a 0% Beehiiv take; card processing is billed by Stripe.

MailerLite updated its Free plan. The subscriber cap fell from 500 to 250 active subscribers, and the monthly send cap fell from 12,000 emails to 2,500. MailerLite also unlocked more Free-plan features (templates, blogs, a second user seat) and set feature-use limits (for example, 3 automations and 1 digital product on Free). Going over the subscriber or send cap pauses sending and new imports until you upgrade or get back under the limit. Accounts are not auto-charged.

Flodesk’s older flat $38/month plan for new customers is gone from the official pricing page (re-read 14 November 2026); current Email / Everything prices are $46 and $99 per month (or $38 and $79 billed annually, $456 and $948 a year). We do not have a single official “as of” announcement date for that change, so it is noted here rather than given its own log date.
