4.5 / 54,000 reviews

+ Unlimited contacts on all plans including free; pricing based on email volume

+ Multi-channel: email, SMS, WhatsApp, and live chat in one platform

- Free plan limits to 300 emails/day which constrains growth

“The unlimited contacts model is a game-changer. We have 15,000 subscribers but only send weekly, so Brevo costs way less than per-contact tools.”

4.7 / 52,900 reviews

+ One of the cleanest, most intuitive interfaces in the category

+ Very generous free tier and affordable paid plans; outstanding value

- Strict approval process for new accounts; some businesses get rejected

“MailerLite is deceptively powerful. It looks simple, but the automation and landing page features rival tools costing three times as much.”
