+ 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.”

Pros

  • + Unlimited contacts on all plans including free; pricing based on email volume
  • + Multi-channel: email, SMS, WhatsApp, and live chat in one platform
  • + Strong transactional email API for both marketing and product emails

Cons

  • - Free plan limits to 300 emails/day which constrains growth
  • - Automation builder is capable but less intuitive than ActiveCampaign's
  • - Brevo branding on emails unless you upgrade to a paid plan
