How much does AWeber cost for agencies in 2026?
Lite costs $12.50 a month and Plus costs $20 a month billed annually, as starting prices that scale with list size. Unlimited costs $899 a month billed monthly. Lite and Plus include a 14-day trial, and the free plan covers up to 500 subscribers with 3,000 sends a month.
Lite allows three landing pages, three automations, and three users, with sends up to ten times the subscriber count. Plus removes those limits and raises sends to twelve times subscribers. Unlimited covers unlimited subscribers with fifteen times sends, dedicated onboarding, and account management.
Because prices scale with subscribers, check the tier behind the starting price on your client's list size. Some G2 reviewers also note that a subscriber on two lists can be counted twice.
| Plan | Price | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | $12.50 per month (annual billing) | Starting price billed annually ($150 a year); 3 landing pages, 3 automations, 3 users, sends up to 10x subscribers |
| Plus | $20 per month (annual billing) | Starting price billed annually ($240 a year); unlimited lists, landing pages, automations and users, 12x sends |
| Unlimited | $899 per month (monthly billing) | Unlimited subscribers, 15x sends, dedicated onboarding and account management |
Is AWeber a good fit for agency clients?
Yes, for small clients who want straightforward email and reliable support. G2 reviewers praise customer service and value for the features, and 24/7 phone, chat, and email support on Lite is rare at this price.
It is weaker for agencies that need multiple client accounts, because multiple accounts and client management were not stated. Users are unlimited from Plus, which helps shared access.
Check deliverability on a real list before a full migration.
Trial the tool on a real client job rather than a demo project. Note how long setup takes, which features you actually touch in the first week, and which questions the team has to ask support. That record is the best guide to whether the plan you picked is the right one.
Agree who owns the tool inside the agency. A named owner keeps templates tidy, watches usage against plan limits, and reviews the bill when renewal approaches. Without one, small tools tend to collect forgotten seats and unused features.
What are the integration, security, and support facts?
AWeber lists more than 750 integrations including Facebook, PayPal, WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Zapier. Plus and Unlimited get priority chat, email, and phone support.
SOC 2, GDPR, SSO, 2FA, encryption, and mobile apps were not stated, and the security page returned a 404 when we checked. Ask for documents before you store sensitive subscriber data.
Before you buy, ask the vendor for the current plan limits in writing and note the date. Limits, seat counts, and trial terms change often, and a screenshot of what you were promised makes any later conversation about billing simpler.
Plan a review at ninety days. Compare actual use with the plan you bought, and downgrade or switch if half the features sit unused. Small agencies save most by trimming plans they have outgrown or never fully used.
What integrations, security, and support does AWeber offer?
Features beyond price decide whether a tool fits your agency stack and your clients' security questions. This is what AWeber states publicly, as checked in October 2026.
