AWeber has announced that it is increasing subscription prices on December 15, 2024, for long-time customers. If you subscribed under the old pricing model you should expect about a 70% increase. New users will not be impacted by these changes.
AWeber Pricing Changes Explained
Historically, AWeber offered a single pricing model—the Pro Plan—whose pricing varied depending on the number of subscribers in your email list. With the upcoming changes, users under this old pricing model will now be billed according to the rates of AWeber’s updated Plus Plan. Here’s a comparison between the previous and new monthly rates based on subscriber numbers:
| Subscribers | Old Price (Pro Plan) | New Price (Plus Plan) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 500 | $19 | $30 |
| Up to 1,000 | $29 | $45 |
| Up to 2,500 | $29 | $55 |
| Up to 5,000 | $49 | $90 |
| Up to 7,500 | $69 | $120 |
| Up to 10,000 | $69 | $135 |
| Up to 15,000 | $149 | $180 |
| Up to 20,000 | $149 | $215 |
| Up to 25,000 | $149 | $250 |
The Plus plan allows sending up to (12x) the number of your subscribers. For instance, if you have 500 subscribers, you can send up to 6000 emails per month (12 x 500 = 6000).
If you received an email about the upcoming price changes or your price is lower than what is indicated on the pricing page, then AWeber says that your bill will include any owed subscriber fees for your current usages plus your new package price.
Cost-Saving
If you are seeking to reduce costs while sticking with AWeber, the Lite Plan offers a more budget-friendly option, albeit with fewer features than the Plus Plan. However, if you are exploring different providers, EmailOctopus is the best alternative, offering almost all the essential features of AWeber at more affordable rates. Prices start at $9 monthly for 10,000 emails and include a free plan for an email list with up to 2,500 subscribers.
