Zoho Campaign - Subscribers/Contacts question

Hello,

I just realized that Zoho Campaigns has a cap on the number of contacts that can be added vs the number of emails that can be sent out in a month. Is there a possibility to have a plan where we can at least add the contacts but not send out emails to all of them. I do want to be able to store the contacts regardless or not if I do an email campaign with them.

My use case currently is that I have an application that uses email login and I am adding those users to a Zoho Campaign list as soon as they signup. They are then sent out a simple welcome message right now. However I can't anticipate the traffic right now and how many customers will sign up, what happens if I max out the contacts limit, will it still add the contact (so I don't lose them) and just not send out the emails?

I have used SendInBlue (https://www.sendinblue.com/pricing/) in the past because they did allow unlimited contacts which for a startup like mine is ideal, the Zoho subscriber-addon pricing is quite hefty for a startup like mine if my customer just starts signing up.

Please advise, how can I work around this or if Zoho Campaign is not the right place to store the contacts? Perhaps Zoho CRM or some other module?

Regards,

Shaiket

Giving subscribers the option to choose what they want to receive from you and decide how often (frequency of the emails) your emails should hit their inboxes will increase the reach of your campaigns manifolds.
