ActiveCampaign's pricing model has become prohibitively expensive as contact lists grow and features are added, making it difficult for businesses to scale affordably.

Existing marketing automation solutions like ActiveCampaign use pricing models that scale costs dramatically with contact count and feature usage, making them unaffordable for growing businesses.
