Effective June 1st, Microsoft’s List Builder, which has had a steadily degrading level of service, will end and they will migrate services to Constant Contact.  The biggest change for most customers is going to be in the pocketbook. Listbuilder used to deliver 10,000 emails for around $30/month.  Constant Contact charges $75/month for the same services even if you don’t use them.Â
Migrate Listbuilder to Vertical Response
I’m a Vertical Response partner because I think it’s a better system…. and so, yes, I recommend Vertical Response as a replacement for bCentral List Builder. If you’re an occasional emailer, or you want to include postcard mailings, they have a very good (99.5%) delivery rate which is the most important factor in email marketing. Emails can be sent through their state of the art system for as little as .0075/email, making it the same price as CC for up to 10k emails. Special pricing is available for larger mailers and non-profits.
Migrating Listbuilder to Vertical Response … I am giving out 1000 free credits to Listbuilder customers, and free basic migration service. Learn more.

Thank you for the update Scott.
Our company was in the delicate situation of having to make that switch. We tried out several programs, including Constant Contact and Vertical Response. In the end, we decided to go with eliteemail.com, which we found to be the best fit for our business. We’ve been so impressed with their service and the program. If anyone else is still looking for a bCentral replacement, I highly recommend Elite Email.
