Geniziz vs ActiveCampaign: the ActiveCampaign alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good ActiveCampaign alternative? Yes. Both price on the size of your list rather than the size of your team — but ActiveCampaign meters the things Geniziz lets you own. On Geniziz every feature is on every plan, users and workspaces are unlimited, and AI, email and calling run on your own API keys at provider cost instead of resold credits.

What ActiveCampaign costs, and what the same team costs here
ActiveCampaign bills like this: Contact-count tiers × plan edition (Starter/Plus/Pro/Enterprise); seats limited per edition with paid add-on seats.
The tiering is the part that bites: Starter automations cap at 5 actions per automation (unlimited on Plus+); advanced/premium segmentation, attribution and conversion tracking need Pro; custom objects and SSO are Enterprise-only; 'unlimited' AI access is Pro/Enterprise (Starter/Plus are rate-limited). Included seats also step up by tier: 1 on Starter/Plus, 3 on Pro, 5 on Enterprise.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
ActiveCampaign does not publish list pricing, so there is no honest number to put beside ours. Geniziz publishes every price: €49, €149 or €299 a month by contact count, unlimited users on all three.

When you should stay on ActiveCampaign
You want best-in-class marketing automation logic and are a small team (3 or fewer users) that won't feel the per-seat add-on cost.
We would rather you stayed on a tool that fits than switched and regretted it. The case for moving is below.
Why teams move to Geniziz
- Unlimited users — invite sales, success, ops and leadership at no extra cost.
- Every feature on every plan — no tier gates automation, reporting or AI.
- Bring your own keys — AI, calling, email and enrichment run on your provider accounts at cost, never resold.
- Unlimited workspaces on one bill, priced only by total contacts.
- Own your data — a full export anytime, an open API, and no paywall on getting it out.
Migrating from ActiveCampaign to Geniziz
CSV export of contacts; object model is Contacts/Deals/Accounts (has a built-in light CRM); some users report the automation-builder logic doesn't translate cleanly to simpler tools on migration out.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.
How to migrate from ActiveCampaign to Geniziz
- 1. Export your data from ActiveCampaign (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
- 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
- 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
- 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
