Why Public Circles
The smarter Mailchimp alternative
Looking for a Mailchimp alternative? Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, and Constant Contact are great tools, but their prices climb fast as you grow. Public Circles gives you the same power for less, with CAD and USD pricing and multi-project management built in.

Why switch
Reasons businesses switch to Public Circles as a Mailchimp alternative
The same capabilities you rely on — with pricing and support that actually scale with you.
Pay less as you grow
Our plans are built so costs stay predictable as your list grows — instead of climbing steeply the way many platforms do at scale.
CAD & USD pricing
See and pay prices in your own currency. Canadian businesses aren’t stuck converting from USD or absorbing exchange surprises.
Multi-project included
Manage multiple brands or clients from one login — a feature that’s often locked behind premium tiers elsewhere.
Everything in one place
Email, automation, templates, and data integration together — so you don’t pay for and stitch together several tools.
24/7 support, every plan
Real help whenever you need it — not reserved for the highest tier. Higher plans also add personalized onboarding.
Easy to switch
Import your contacts, connect your tools, and pick a template to hit the ground running. Our team can help you migrate.
Switching
Thinking about making the move?
Is it hard to switch to Public Circles?
Not at all. Import your contacts from a CSV or connect your existing tools, choose a template, and you’re ready to send. Our team can help you migrate your lists and rebuild key automations.
Will I lose my contacts or data?
No — you bring your contacts and data with you. Import them directly or sync from your CRM and other tools via our standard integrations and API.
How does the pricing really compare?
Because our plans are designed around generous contact and sending limits — and multi-project is included — most businesses get more for their money, especially as their list grows. Compare the numbers on our pricing page.
Do you help with migration?
Yes. Support is available 24/7 on every plan, and higher plans include personalized onboarding to help you move over and get your first campaigns live quickly.
