Systeme.io pricing
Systeme.io bundles email, automation, landing pages and courses into one plan. Its free plan holds 2,000 contacts with unlimited sending, so a small list can run without paying. The paid plans are priced in dollars.
Price by list size
| Plan | Price a month | Contacts | Funnels | Automation rules | Courses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 2,000 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| Startup | $17 | 5,000 | 10 | 10 | 5 |
| Webinar | $47 | 10,000 | 50 | 100 | 20 |
| Unlimited | $97 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Prices in dollars — systeme.io does not bill in euros. Startup is the cheapest paid plan, and a list under 2,000 contacts may not need it. Two months free on annual billing. Startup 5,000 contacts, Webinar 10,000.
Fits
- You want email, sales funnels and courses in one account
- Your list is under 2,000 contacts and the free plan’s limits are enough
Check before you buy
- The free plan includes one automation rule, one course and three funnels
- Billing is in dollars, so your bank’s exchange rate comes on top
- The help centre does not say which contact statuses count toward the plan limit
What it costs over a year
| Contacts | Plan | A month | A year | Lowest of the seven |

| 2,500 | Startup | $17 | $204 | EmailOctopus, Free |

Twelve times the monthly figure at two sends a month, before VAT. Paid plans billed in dollars are not ranked against euro prices.
The largest step comes between 5,000 and 10,000 contacts: $17 to $47 a month, or $360 more a year. Systeme.io bills in dollars, so we do not rank it against the euro prices. To see how this adds up as a list grows, use the three-year calculator.
Costs beyond the list price
- The price list states no transaction fees: payments through Stripe or PayPal come at no extra cost from systeme.io. Price list
- If you cancel, you keep the plan until the next billing date, and the account then reverts to the free plan. Price list
- To move down a plan you either ask support to convert the remaining days, or cancel, wait for the free plan and upgrade again. Price list
Moving to Systeme.io
- Import takes a CSV file with the column names in the first row. Import help
- The import guide says to bring over only contacts who explicitly consented, and to plan a gradual import to avoid mass bounces. Import steps
- The same guide tells you to set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records on your domain. Import steps
- The Unlimited plan lists free migration as a perk. Price list
How contacts are counted
The plan limits are contact counts (free plan 2,000, Startup 5,000, Webinar 10,000). All nine contact-management articles in the help centre were read on 5 September 2026: none of them says which contact statuses count toward the plan limit. The guides advise cleaning the list, but the counting rule is not published. So we claim nothing either way until it is published or support confirms it. We could not find a published rule. See the help pages we read.
Where the lists sit
In the EU. Contract with ITACWT Limited, Ireland.
The privacy policy says data sits in AWS’s Irish data centre with no transfers outside the EU. We found no public sub-processor list.
