To optimize expenses for your campaigns, it is important to choose an appropriate pricing plan that suits your goals and objectives.
When you choose your pricing plan, take into account 2 main things: the size of your contact list and the frequency of your campaigns.
In Selzy we have pricing plans based either on the number of emails or the number of contacts.
The first group is represented by the Pre-paid Credits Plan: you buy a particular number of emails that you spend until the end of your billing period.
The second group includes the Lite Plan, the Standard Plan, the Premium Plan. With these plans, the number of contacts is limited, whereas the number of emails you send to the contacts is unlimited.
After you have registered with Selzy, you get automatically subscribed to the free test pricing plan - Free, which is ideal for the beginners who get to know the service and its tools and features.
There is also the Pay As You Go Plan - with it you pay for each email sent.
Let’s have a detailed look at the features each plan includes.
Free Plan
The Free plan includes all the basic tools of the service, however, the number of emails you send cannot exceed 15 000 sends per month. Besides, the total number of contacts in all the lists is limited to 1 000.
This plan is activated for 1 month and is prolonged unless you choose another plan or upload more than 1 000 contacts to Selzy.
The Free Plan is given as the pricing plan for the upcoming period and will be automatically activated by the system after the current one expires
Who is the Free Plan for?
The pricing plan is best for trying out how the service works and what campaign settings there are until you upgrade to the paid plan.
It is also ideal for those clients whose contact count doesn’t exceed 1 000 email addresses.
Lite Plan
The Lite Plan includes a limited number of contacts only, whereas the number of emails during the billing period (a month or a year) is unlimited.
After you subscribe to the plan on the Manage Account page, your plan limit counter with the number of contacts will be enabled.
The Lite Plan contact lists limit includes all the contacts that got at least one sent during the current rate period. Those contacts that were included will be counted in the limit until the end of the billing period even if they are deleted from all contact lists. You won’t be able to substitute the contacts counted in the limit.
For instance, if you upload 500 contacts with the Lite Plan and send a campaign to them, they will be included in your plan limit, and you will be able to send a limitless number of emails to them. If you delete them to substitute with other contacts, the system will notify you that your plan limit is exceeded and you will be offered either to upgrade your plan or to pay an additional charge of 0.005$ for each email.
If there is not enough funds on your balance to pay extra charges for the exceeded Lite Plan, your campaign will be put on hold, and the system will notify you about the necessity to activate a different plan or to top up your balance to be able to send emails.
The starting price with the Lite Plan includes 500 contacts, whereas the maximum contact count is 500,000 contacts. If you would like to add more contacts, you can always turn to our Support team and we will customize a plan for you.
Who is the Lite Plan for?
This plan is the best choice for those clients who create frequent and regular campaigns to the same contact list (more than four campaigns to the same contacts per month).
It’s important to remember that the Lite Plan doesn’t enable substituting the contacts that have already been counted within the plan limit. If you create campaigns for different contact lists, we advise you to choose the Pre-paid Credits Plan or the Pay As You Go Plan that have no contact limits.
Standard Plan
The Standard Plan includes everything the Lite Plan boasts, as well as the built-in Recommendations feature and a free inactive contacts check-up.
Who is the Standard Plan for?
This plan is ideal for beginners who are just starting marketing and those clients who would like to exclude the most common mistakes when creating a campaign and minimize the risk for their emails of getting to the Spam folder.
Premium Plan
The Premium Plan comes with Selzy experts who take care of your campaigns. They take charge of all the things from setting your account and launching your campaigns from scratch to implementing the most powerful marketing mechanics.
The Premium Plan includes all the features of the Standard Plan, whereas it’s Selzy experts that are responsible for your campaigns’ settings and management.

After you subscribe to the plan, you will see the maximum number of emails available to you (as well as the number of emails you have already sent with the plan) on the Manage Account page.

Each email exceeding the limit should be paid for separately and costs 0.005$. The payment is deducted from the balance when your email is sent. The information on payment deduction can be found on the Manage Account page.
When you send your campaign, the system always warns you about the plan overlimit and the sum charged for extra emails.
If there is not enough money on the balance for the extra charge, a hold is placed on your campaign and a system notification tells you about the necessity to change a plan or to top up your account.
Who is the Pre-paid Credits Plan for?
This plan is best for those clients who know the number of emails they intend to send.

Q&A
How to pay for Pay As You Go Plan?
With the Pay As You Go Plan, the payment for your emails is deducted from your account balance. That’s why it’s enough to top up the balance for an optional sum through the Arbitrary Amount form to use the plan.
After you top up the balance, the funds get to your account to be spent for emails sent.
Why if you pay through the Arbitrary Amount form, the plan and its billing period are not stated?
The payment of a random sum is not the payment for the Pay As You Go Plan. It is the balance topping up, and the funds can be spent not only on the email sends within the plan, but also on the activation of other plans, on SMS or Viber campaigns, as well as on other Selzy add-ons.
Since the funds on the account can remain intact, or be returned to the client, or be spent on additional features and services, there is no billing period mentioned in the Arbitrary Amount form.
Why do I have problems sending a campaign with the Free Plan, though there are less than 1 000 recipients?
To send a campaign with the Free Plan, the total contact count in all the lists of the account should not exceed 1 000 contacts. Delete the odd contacts or lists that you don’t use, and the campaign will be sent.
Can I substitute contacts with the Free Plan, the Lite Plan, and the Standard Plan?
In the mentioned plans, there are limits on the contact count which can be found on the Manage Account page.
The plan limit includes all the contacts that were sent even a single email within the current billing period. These contacts will remain within the plan limit until the plan expires even if they are deleted from the account. It is either not possible to substitute the contacts that have already been taken into account.
You can check which contacts are taken into account for the limit by downloading the list of user email addresses. To do this, in your account go to the Manage Account section and click on the Download Used Addresses button.
