Brevo Review
Unlimited contacts, priced by send volume — the budget-friendly alternative to per-contact pricing.
Budget-conscious businesses with a large contact list they email infrequently — the volume-based pricing rewards exactly that pattern.
Worth a look specifically for a client with a big but lightly-emailed list, where the per-contact pricing of everything else on this page would be the wrong shape entirely. Not the pick when automation depth is the actual requirement.

Overview
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) prices by how many emails you send rather than how many contacts you store, which flips the usual SaaS-email math — a business with a large but rarely-emailed list pays far less here than on Mailchimp or Klaviyo. The free tier's 300 emails/day, forever, with unlimited contacts is genuinely usable for a small local-service business's newsletter. Beyond email it bundles SMS, WhatsApp and a lightweight CRM, which is unusual at this price point.
Best for
Budget-conscious businesses with a large contact list they email infrequently — the volume-based pricing rewards exactly that pattern.
Not for
High-frequency senders or anyone who wants Klaviyo-grade e-commerce automation depth — Brevo's flows are more basic.
