ActiveCampaign alternatives? You can just use Laureo
ActiveCampaign alternatives for teams that sell too: the pipeline, campaigns, quotes and invoices on every plan, with unlimited contacts on all plans.
What are the best ActiveCampaign alternatives?
Among ActiveCampaign competitors, the best alternative for a team that sells as well as it emails includes the sales pipeline in the plan and does not price by list size. Laureo does both, with the pipeline, email campaigns, booking pages, quotes and invoices on every plan and unlimited contacts on all plans, where ActiveCampaign quotes each plan for a contact tier and sells the pipeline as an add-on.
| Criterion | ActiveCampaign | Laureo |
|---|---|---|
| Contact growth | When a contact list grows past its plan limit, the path ActiveCampaign names is an upgrade to the next contact band or plan. | Unlimited contacts and companies on all plans, with no contact tiers to outgrow. |
| Sales pipeline | ActiveCampaign sells its enhanced CRM, Pipelines and Sales Engagement, as add-ons. | One plan and one bill cover your CRM, inbox, email campaigns, booking pages, and quotes and invoices, so you stop paying for separate tools. |
| Booking | ActiveCampaign lists a Calendly and Eventbrite integration on Plus, Pro and Enterprise, not on Starter. | Booking pages are built in on every plan, so you need no separate scheduling tool. |
| Your data | ActiveCampaign's terms let it view, copy and internally use customer Marketing Content to train and improve its Services. | The AI never trains on your data, and every AI request goes only to providers that keep none of it. |
Why teams look for an alternative to ActiveCampaign
- Reason 1ActiveCampaign sells its plans as marketing plans, and its pipeline, deal records, account records and lead scoring sit in the Pipelines add-on, which Starter cannot take.
- Reason 2Every plan is quoted for a contact tier, from Starter at $15 a month billed yearly for 1,000 contacts, and the path past the limit is the next contact band or plan.
- Reason 3Its plan comparison lists no help desk, booking pages, quotes or invoices, so a team that sells and supports customers adds other vendors.
- Reason 4Laureo puts the pipeline, email campaigns, booking pages, quotes and invoices on every plan, with unlimited contacts on all plans and the help desk on Business and Ultra.
Laureo vs ActiveCampaign, feature by feature
- Sales pipelinePipelines, deal and company records and rule-based lead scoring on every plan, in the same CRM as your campaigns. By comparison, ActiveCampaign puts pipeline management, deal records, account records and lead scoring in its Pipelines add-on, from $49 a month billed monthly on Plus, and Starter cannot add it.
- ContactsUnlimited contacts on all plans, so a growing list never moves you to a higher tier. By comparison, ActiveCampaign quotes each plan for a contact tier, and the path it names past the limit is an upgrade to the next contact band or plan.
- Booking meetingsBooking pages are built in on every plan, with calendar sync, and a booking creates or links the guest's contact. By comparison, ActiveCampaign lists no scheduler of its own; booking comes through a Calendly and Eventbrite integration on Plus, Pro and Enterprise.
- Quotes, invoices and supportQuotes, invoices and payment reminders on every plan, and a help desk, knowledge base and live chat on Business and Ultra. By comparison, ActiveCampaign's plan comparison lists no quotes, invoices, help desk or ticket queue on any plan.
- Your data and the AIBuilt-in agents work the sales side on monthly AI credits included in your plan, and the AI never trains on your data. By comparison, ActiveCampaign's terms let it view, copy and internally use customer Marketing Content to train and improve its Services.
AI that drafts real work and asks first by default
Laureo runs built-in agents that start on their own and draft the work, on monthly AI credits included in your plan, and by default every agent except Ticket Triage (on Ultra) holds each change it proposes for your approval. Ask Laureo in plain language, for example Hey Laureo, draft follow-ups for every deal that went quiet this week, and review the queue before anything is sent.
Pricing side by side
What it costs
ActiveCampaign starts at $15/mo. Starter is $15 a month billed yearly, or $19 monthly, for 1,000 contacts, and every plan is quoted for a contact tier, so the price climbs as your list grows. Pipelines and Sales Engagement are sold as CRM add-ons and are not available on Starter, and SMS is another add-on.
Laureo bundles the CRM, email marketing, scheduling, and AI agents in one product. One workspace plan with one full seat included on Pro and two on Business and Ultra; add seats as you grow. Pro starts at $83.33 a month billed annually ($99.99 month-to-month). Unlimited contacts on all plans, and Ultra adds cold outreach.
