Brevo
Email Marketing & CRM
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) charges by send volume instead of list size, so a large, lightly-contacted list is far cheaper to keep than on per-contact pricing. SMS, WhatsApp and transactional email sit in the same platform.
Strengths
- Contact storage is not the main billing axis
- SMS, WhatsApp and transactional email included rather than bolted on
- Free plan is usable rather than a demo
- Built-in CRM alongside campaigns
Trade-offs
- Fewer ready-made templates than the older incumbents
- Some automation features sit on higher tiers
