Email Bump vs Ontraport
Ontraport is a business platform from $124/mo with contacts, emails and users each metered. We're an email platform from $19/mo with one meter. This comparison only makes sense if you've concluded you're using it for the email.
Eight rows below, and the honest headline first: if you take payments through Ontraport, we don't replace it.
Which one you want, in three sentences
Pick Ontraport if your business runs on it — CRM, payments, membership sites, custom objects. Replacing that with an email tool plus three other subscriptions is usually worse and often more expensive.
Pick Email Bump if what you use is the campaigns and the automations, and the per-user and per-100,000 charges have made the bill impossible to forecast.
Pick neither if you want marketing plus a real CRM at mid-market prices, which is ActiveCampaign, or the cheapest full suite, which is EngageBay.

Three places Ontraport is the better choice
It takes payments and runs membership sites. Order forms, subscriptions, member areas — all in the same system as the marketing. We send email. For a business selling courses or memberships, that's the difference between one tool and four.
A real CRM with custom objects. Deals, pipelines and business objects that aren't contacts. We have contacts, fields and events, which is a much thinner model.
Campaign maps. Seeing the whole customer journey on one canvas is genuinely useful for complex programmes, and our flow builder shows one flow at a time.
Email Bump vs Ontraport, asked and answered
Is Email Bump cheaper than Ontraport?
By a lot — $19/mo at 10,000 contacts with unlimited seats and no send charge, against $124/mo plus per-user charges plus $99 per 100,000 contacts and again per 100,000 emails.
That gap is explained by the CRM, payments and membership sites we don't have. Price the replacements before deciding.
Does Email Bump have a CRM?
No. Contacts, custom fields, behavioural events, live segments and flows. No deals, pipelines, order forms or membership areas.
Can I import my Ontraport contacts?
Yes — a CSV of contacts, tags and custom fields imports cleanly. Take the export with subscription status attached so unsubscribes arrive as unsubscribes.
Campaign maps rebuild as flows rather than importing.
