Brevo (Formerly Sendinblue) vs. MailerLite
Brevo vs MailerLite: Unlimited emails for a price that makes senseNo confusing pricing tiers and endless add-on options. Just all the email marketing features you need to thrive.
SendinBlue [Brevo] was OK until we sent our first campaign. Suddenly we had a complete lack of engagement related to deliverability issues. MailerLite is really intuitive. We have grown tremendously over the years, and our email campaigns have played an important part.
Why did 19,234 customers make the switch to MailerLite?
Let’s dive into the details.
Stable pricing
Customers wanted to swap complicated pricing tiers with a simple subscription.
Specialized tools
Brevo is an all-in-one tool, great for getting started. But as customers grew they needed a specialized email marketing tool to handle their needs.
High deliverability
Our high deliverability rates give customers peace of mind that more of their emails end up in the inbox where they belong.
How much will you really be paying with Brevo?
Sending 5,000 emails a month for $16 on Brevo’s business plan sounds like a steal, right? Until you look at the fine print. (Updated February 2025).
Only 500 contacts included
You only get 1 landing page a month and 1 user seat. Want more? Those are paid add-ons
Higher monthly bills on months when you send more emails, like during Black Friday weekend (but you still pay the standard rate even when you send less emails in a month)
Lack of clarity into your monthly bill as you can’t always predict how many emails you’ll be sending (think of all those automations on top of your newsletter and promotion emails…)
Don’t worry though, there’s an easier way.
