Design & MarketingBrevo (ex. Sendinblue)
Email and SMS marketing automation that does not charge you per contact.
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a marketing automation platform covering email campaigns, transactional email, SMS, WhatsApp messaging, push notifications, and CRM, offered at pricing based on emails sent rather than contacts stored. It is used primarily by marketing teams and founders at SMBs and early-stage SaaS companies who need a full-featured marketing automation stack without paying the escalating contact-based fees that platforms like Mailchimp or HubSpot charge as lists grow. The core problem Brevo solves is cost efficiency at list scale: a company with 100,000 contacts but modest monthly send volume will pay dramatically less on Brevo than on contact-based competitors. Brevo also covers transactional email (order confirmations, password resets) through the same platform and API, removing the need for a separate transactional email provider for smaller teams. The platform includes a drag-and-drop email builder, automation workflows, A/B testing, landing page creation, and a basic CRM for contact management.
Marketing teams and founders at SMBs, e-commerce businesses, and early-stage SaaS companies who need email automation, transactional email, and CRM in a single platform without contact-based pricing that scales uncomfortably as the list grows. The right moment to evaluate Brevo is when a Mailchimp or Klaviyo bill starts climbing past $200 to $300 per month primarily because of list size rather than send volume.

Brevo (ex. Sendinblue)in depth.
Send-Volume-Based Pricing
Brevo charges by emails sent per month rather than by contacts stored, which makes it cost-effective for teams with large lists who do not email every contact every month. This pricing model is a fundamental structural advantage over Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and ActiveCampaign for list-heavy, low-frequency senders.
Transactional Email API
Send password resets, order confirmations, and notification emails through the same platform used for marketing campaigns, with a REST API and official SDKs for Node.js, PHP, Python, and other languages. This eliminates the need to manage a separate transactional email provider like SendGrid or Postmark for smaller teams.
Marketing Automation Workflows
Build behavior-triggered email sequences, lead nurture flows, and lifecycle campaigns using a visual workflow builder with conditional branching. Teams use this for onboarding sequences, reactivation campaigns, and multi-step drip programs without writing code.
SMS and WhatsApp Campaigns
Send SMS and WhatsApp messages from the same platform as email, useful for time-sensitive notifications or markets where WhatsApp has higher engagement than email. This is particularly relevant for teams operating in Europe, Latin America, or South Asia.
Built-in CRM
Brevo includes a basic CRM for storing contact data, tracking interactions, and managing deals without a separate CRM subscription. This is sufficient for early-stage teams who need contact management but are not ready for the complexity of Salesforce or HubSpot.
Brevo integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, and the major e-commerce and CMS platforms, and offers a full REST API with webhooks for custom integrations. In a typical marketing stack it sits as the email and SMS layer, feeding engagement data back into a CRM or analytics platform for attribution and reporting.

Running email marketing to a large subscriber list on a tight budget
A company with 80,000 subscribers who sends a weekly newsletter uses Brevo to avoid the $500 to $1,000 per month contact-based fees that Mailchimp or Klaviyo would charge at that list size. The same functionality is available at a fraction of the cost because Brevo prices on sends, not storage.
Sending transactional and marketing email through one platform
Engineering and marketing teams consolidate order confirmations, welcome emails, and promotional campaigns under a single Brevo account and API key, reducing the number of email infrastructure vendors to manage. This simplifies deliverability monitoring and consolidates analytics in one place.
Building onboarding email sequences for a new SaaS product
Product teams use Brevo's automation workflows to trigger behavior-based onboarding emails when users complete or skip key activation steps, without building custom logic in the application backend. This improves activation rates and is fully manageable by non-engineers once the initial triggers are configured.
