Aweber vs Moosend: pros and cons
Aweber
AWeber stands out for transparency: published trial limits, strict permission rules, and a migration team that moves your list for you. Selling through Stripe on landing pages is handy, but costs climb steeply with list size and Lite is tightly capped. Overall, it's a solid pick for small businesses that value clear rules over deep ecommerce control.
Pros
- Done-for-you migration — AWeber's team transfers your list and emails from your previous provider, uses your shared login only for the move, and never retains it afterward.
- Trial and sending limits are published up front — 12x your subscriber count per month on Plus and 10x on Lite — so you know exactly what the 14-day trial covers before billing starts.
- Ecommerce is built in — you can take payments directly on landing pages via Stripe, with a low 0.6% transaction fee on Plus (1.0% on Lite) and sales tracking included.
Cons
- Ecommerce control is limited — Stripe handles payments, refunds, and chargebacks directly, and AWeber adds its own per-transaction fee (1.0% on Lite, 0.6% on Plus) on top of Stripe's charges.
- The Lite plan is tightly capped — 1 email list, 3 landing pages, 3 automations, 3 users, and 1 saved segment — and AWeber branding cannot be removed on it.
- The permission policy cuts both ways — importing purchased, co-registration, or 'safe list' contacts is strictly prohibited, and violations can mean immediate account termination without a refund.
Moosend
Moosend packs automation, landing pages, forms, and AI features into plans starting at $7-9 a month with unlimited sends, and the 30-day trial needs no credit card. Trade-offs include no permanent free plan, email-only campaigns, and 24/5 support that pauses on weekends. Overall, it's a strong value pick for budget-focused email marketers who don't need multichannel.
Pros
- Unlimited email campaigns and sends on the Pro plan — pricing scales by unique contact count, not send volume, so frequent mailers avoid overage fees.
- Low entry price of $9/month (or $7/month billed annually, saving 20%), with automation, landing pages, forms, A/B testing, and an SMTP server all included rather than gated behind higher tiers.
- AI features ship as standard — an AI Writer for drafting copy, AI product recommendations for e-commerce, and audience discovery for targeting.
Cons
- There is no permanent free plan — the free trial lasts 30 days, after which the lowest paid option runs $7-9 per month depending on billing cycle and list size.
- Live chat and email support run 24 hours a day, five days a week — not 24/7 — so weekend issues wait until Monday unless you're on Enterprise with priority support.
- It's email-only at its core — SMS (US/AU), social media, and event marketing are sold through parent company Constant Contact as a separate platform, so true multichannel campaigns require a second subscription.
