ActiveCampaign is built for email marketing, and the real sales pipeline is a paid add-on. Laureo bundles campaigns, a full pipeline, a built-in support desk, and AI agents that act on your records at one flat per-workspace price, with no per-contact billing.
One Laureo plan covers the whole stack. Here is how the entry price lines up against ActiveCampaign.
Pro, billed annually ($99.99 month-to-month)
One flat per-workspace price covers the CRM, campaigns, automation, tickets, knowledge base, surveys, scheduling, invoicing, team chat, and a roster of AI agents and a co-pilot that act on the pipeline through an approval queue, with no per-contact billing.
The $15 Starter is email and automation only, with no CRM. The price climbs as your contact list grows, and a real sales pipeline costs extra (Enhanced Pipelines around $68/mo, Sales Engagement around $111/mo).

A check means it is on the plan. “Add-on” means it costs extra or lives on a higher tier. A line means it is not available.

ActiveCampaign Active Intelligence aims its AI agents and copilot at building and optimizing marketing automations, with the deeper features gated to Pro and Enterprise, versus Laureo's roster of scheduled sales agents and a co-pilot that act on real pipeline records through an approval queue, plus a support answer-bot grounded only in verified KB articles.
Laureo runs six named agents instead. They work in the background, come with every plan, and share one monthly usage budget with no per-conversation fees.
Every record is isolated to your workspace, there is a full history of who changed what, files are scanned for viruses before they are stored, the AI never trains on or keeps your data, and the platform is independently security tested and verified.
