The fine print, checked

What the free plan really caps, whether your data can leave, and how cancelling works. Each fact read on ActiveCampaign's own pages, linked below.

Free plan limits

There is no free plan listed, only a free trial. The trial lets you test the platform with as many contacts as you need and up to 100 email sends, and its features match the Professional plan. The trial period is 14 days, though ActiveCampaign says it can extend it on request, and trials are limited to 1 user.

Data export

Customers on any plan (Starter, Plus, Pro, Enterprise) can export all contacts to a CSV file from the Contacts page and download it from the Exports page, where the download link stays valid for 7 days. The CSV includes custom fields, lead scores and deal scores, with tags in a single column, but contact notes cannot be exported.
