Overview

Ontraport and Constant Contact are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Constant Contact is traditional, simple email marketing that's been around since 1995. Ontraport is a modern all-in-one business platform. For our take on each, see our Ontraport comparison.

Different Audiences Entirely

Constant Contact serves small businesses, nonprofits, and local organizations who want to send professional emails without complexity. Ontraport serves entrepreneurs and course creators who want CRM, payments, and membership sites bundled with email. These are different tools for different businesses.

Event Marketing: Constant Contact's Niche

Constant Contact is one of the few email platforms with built-in event management — registration, ticketing, promotion emails. For nonprofits running fundraisers or local businesses hosting events, this is genuinely useful. Ontraport doesn't have event marketing.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders, Sequenzy combines transactional + marketing email with Stripe integration at $49/month. A modern alternative that's more affordable than Ontraport and more feature-rich for SaaS than Constant Contact.
