About Brevo

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is an all-in-one marketing platform that combines email marketing, SMS, WhatsApp campaigns, chat, and CRM. Founded in 2012, it stands out for offering unlimited contacts on every plan, including the free tier.

More Than Email

While most email platforms charge by subscriber count, Brevo charges by email volume. This means you can import your entire contact list without worrying about hitting a subscriber cap.

What You Get on the Free Plan

Unlimited contacts - Import and manage as many contacts as you want
300 emails per day - Roughly 9,000 emails per month, enough for a growing newsletter
Email campaigns - Drag-and-drop editor with professional templates
Transactional emails - Send password resets, order confirmations, and notifications
SMS marketing - Send text messages (pay-per-message)
Chat widget - Add live chat to your website

Multi-Channel Marketing

Brevo is one of the few platforms where you can manage email, SMS, and WhatsApp campaigns from a single dashboard. The built-in CRM lets you track deals and customer interactions alongside your marketing efforts.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

The free plan is generous on contacts (100,000) but caps you at 300 emails a day. Upgrade (from ~$9/mo) when you regularly need to send more than 300 in a day, or when you want to drop the Brevo branding and unlock advanced automation across your full list.
