Pros & Cons
Later

- 14-day free trial allows testing paid plans before committing
- Annual billing offers meaningful savings over monthly rates across all tiers
- No free plan available as of 2026 — only free trials of paid tiers
- Post quotas are per-profile-per-month, requiring careful calculation for multi-account management
- Only the Scale tier ($82.50/month annual) offers unlimited posts per profile
ActiveCampaign AI
