Omnisend monthly list prices from its contact slider, September 2026, without the annual discount. Saving is measured against Standard, the closest email-only comparison, and Omnisend Standard costs less below roughly 1,000 contacts. Messaro Starter is $19 with unlimited contacts, 7,500 email credits and 500 messaging credits. Subscribers who joined Omnisend Pro before 4 May 2026 keep SMS credits equal to their plan price.

FAQ
Questions before we move you
Yes. Since 4 May 2026, SMS is only available on Omnisend Pro and Custom plans, so Free and Standard cannot text at all. Pro starts at $59 a month for a small list, and SMS credits are bought separately on top of that. Messaro Starter is $19 a month and already includes 500 messaging credits, so email and SMS both work from the entry plan.
