EMAIL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OPERATORS

Pricing that scales to subscribers, not seats.

Every ListManage9 tier runs on the same deliverability engine. You pay for list size, included sends, and how deep the audit goes — not for the privilege of reaching the primary tab.

PRICING EDGE CASES

Six questions operators ask before sharing list size with a vendor.

What happens if I exceed my tier's list-size band?

You'll get an in-app alert at 80% of the band and a quiet auto-upgrade proposal at 100%. We never throttle sends silently. Overage is billed pro-rata at $0.0008/send and capped to 2× your included sends before we require a tier move.

Is annual billing meaningfully cheaper than monthly?

Yes — 18% off the monthly rate, plus the rate is locked for 24 months even if list growth forces a tier change mid-cycle. Mid-term tier upgrades are pro-rated to the day; downgrades take effect at renewal.

Is there a migration cost from our current ESP?

No platform fee. Your solutions engineer runs a migration workstream inside the free audit: historical list import, suppression-list reconciliation, and a parallel-send test against your current ESP so you can compare placement numbers side-by-side before cutover.

What contract length do I have to sign?

Monthly and annual are both available on Starter and Growth. Scale is annual with a 30-day termination-for-convenience clause after the first 90 days. We do not require multi-year commitments on any tier.

Is there a free trial?

No time-boxed trial — we run a 20-minute deliverability audit on your real list instead. You walk away with a written placement score and decay report whether or not you sign. It's a better signal than 14 days of feature access.

If we cancel, what happens to our deliverability?

You retain full data export (subscribers, segments, suppression lists, historical sends) in CSV and JSON for 90 days post-cancellation. We hand back SPF/DKIM/DMARC records and walk your replacement vendor through warm-down procedures so you don't burn the domain on the way out.

THE NEXT STEP IS THE SAME ON EVERY TIER

Find your tier. Then book the audit that confirms it.

Twenty minutes with a solutions engineer. Your real list, your real mailbox-provider data. You'll leave with a written inbox-placement score, a 90-day decay forecast, and the tier recommendation that fits — whether that's Starter, Growth, or something custom.
