The Hidden Cliffs in Contact-Based Pricing
Every time you cross a contact threshold, your Loops bill jumps, even though you're sending the same number of emails.
For example: You have 49,950 subscribers and you're paying $249/month. You run a successful campaign and gain 100 new subscribers. You're now at 50,050 subscribers.
Your email volume barely changed. Maybe you went from 150K to 152K sends per month. But your Loops bill? It just jumped from $249/month to $399/month.
That's an instant $150/month increase ($1,800/year) for gaining just 100 people.
The difference: Loops charges you for who's on your list. AutoSend charges you for what you actually send.
This means every growth milestone — 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K contacts — becomes a budget anxiety moment with Loops.
With AutoSend, growth is just... growth.
