About Action Network+

Action Network is a non-profit-run platform for advocacy and organising. It combines email, petitions, event pages, online fundraising and basic supporter management in one tool. It only works with progressive causes and campaigns, and is priced by the volume of messages you send rather than your list size.

Pricing: The free tier stores contacts but can't send email or texts; sending needs the Movement plan from US$15/month. Movement plan: US$1.25 per 1,000 emails sent with a US$15/month minimum (covers 12,000 emails). Network plan from US$125/month. Mobile messaging and Boost add-ons are extra. Free tools are offered to grassroots activists getting started.
