Why people switch from AWeber
Lite is really limited
AWeber Lite gives you 1 email list, 3 landing pages, 3 automations and 1 custom segment. Unlimited automations need Plus: $45 a month at 1,000 subscribers.
$100 a month at 10,000
That's one of the higher prices at that size among the tools we compared.
There's no free plan on the pricing page
The pricing page lists a 14-day trial. After that it's a monthly bill.
As of Sep 2026, from www.aweber.com.
If you need 24/7 support, AWeber is worth the money. If you need to send a Tuesday newsletter, it isn't.

AWeber Lite, monthly billing, as of Sep 2026. SendFox assumes one email a week to your whole list; if Lifetime's send pool runs out at that pace, the chart switches you to the cheapest Pro tier that fits.
When AWeber is the better pick
We'd rather you pick the right tool than switch and regret it. AWeber is the better call when:
- You want someone else to set it up. AWeber sells a done-for-you setup service.
- You want 24/7 support.
- You want built-in sales tracking for what you sell through your emails.
Switching in an afternoon
Most people do this on a Sunday with a coffee. Here's the whole thing.
- Export a CSV from AWeber. In AWeber, go to Subscribers, filter if you want, and choose Export CSV.
-
Import it into SendFox. Open the import screen, choose Upload a file, pick a list and map the columns.
The SendFox import screen. -
Recreate your signup form. Pick a hosted link or paste one line of code on your site, and choose which list signups go to. Swap the old form on your site for the new one.
The SendFox form builder: where it lives, where signups go, what the button says. -
Rebuild your welcome email and re-send it. Create an automation triggered when someone joins your list and paste in your welcome emails. Then use "Add contacts manually" to drop your imported list in, so everyone gets a friendly hello from your new sender instead of a surprise.
A 3-email welcome automation in SendFox (from a demo account). - Send your next newsletter from SendFox. Then cancel AWeber once you've checked the first send landed.
