Brevo prices by how much you send rather than how many contacts you store, which suits small businesses with big lists and an occasional newsletter. The free plan includes 300 email sends per day and storage for up to 100,000 contacts, plus email campaigns, a drag and drop editor, custom templates, transactional emails, basic reporting and multi-channel automation for up to 2,000 contacts. Starter begins at $9 per month for 5,000 monthly sends and removes the daily cap, and Brevo's help center lists Standard from $18 and Professional from $499 per month. SMS campaigns are available as an add-on, and Aura, Brevo's AI assistant, is included on Free. The catches are small but real: the Brevo logo stays on Starter emails unless you buy the add-on, and the 300 daily sends on Free make larger campaigns slow. For a business that wants email and SMS together at the lowest paid price here, Brevo is the value choice.
