Our verdict

Brevo prices on emails sent rather than contacts stored, and that single difference is the most consequential thing on its pricing page. A 60,000 name list that gets one newsletter a month costs a fraction of what the same list costs at a contact-priced vendor. The tooling around it is competent without being exciting.

Overall, the plain average6.9

Every criterion is defined on the methodology page.

What it does well

  • Volume pricing, so storing contacts is free
  • Email, SMS, chat and a light CRM in one subscription
  • The most transparent pricing page of the ten
  • A free tier a real small business can run on

Where it costs you

  • AI features are thinner than Klaviyo or HubSpot
  • The automation builder is fine but not deep
  • Deliverability on the cheapest tiers needs watching
  • Support quality is uneven at the entry price

What it costs

Free with 300 emails a day and unlimited contacts. Paid from $9/mo, with Starter beginning at 5,000 emails a month. Because the meter is volume, a large dormant list costs nothing to hold, which no contact-priced tool here can match.

Compare this against the other nine

Pick it if

Anyone holding a big list they mail infrequently. Divide your monthly sends by your contact count: below one, and Brevo is probably the cheapest tool on this page.

Skip it if

High-frequency senders. Mail a small list four times a week and volume pricing turns against you.
