PostBeagle vs AWeber

AWeber is one of the longest-running email platforms, known for 24/7 support and a simple setup. Like PostBeagle, it bills only for active subscribers. Where they differ is price at scale, how many automations each plan allows, and WooCommerce: PostBeagle builds its own plugin. Here’s a side-by-side.

Why teams switch to PostBeagle

Unlimited automations without the top plan

AWeber limits Lite to three automations and three landing pages; unlimited needs Plus. PostBeagle includes unlimited automations and landing pages on every plan, including free.

Less per subscriber at scale

At 10,000 subscribers PostBeagle is $29/month against AWeber’s $100 on Lite or $135 on Plus (billed monthly), and it includes 20 sends per subscriber a month against 10× or 12×.

A WooCommerce plugin we build ourselves

The PostBeagle plugin is maintained by PostBeagle and syncs orders and carts, runs abandoned-cart flows on every plan, and attributes order revenue to the campaigns that drove it.

When AWeber might be the better fit

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

  • You want 24/7 support on every plan.
  • You’d like someone to set it up for you: AWeber’s Done For You service builds your templates, forms and welcome series.
  • You want to sell products directly from emails with AWeber’s built-in ecommerce tools rather than through a store.
