About Brevo
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) takes a different approach to pricing. You pay for the number of emails you send each month, not the number of contacts in your database, so unlimited contacts are included on every paid plan.
The Starter plan covers basic sending and the Business plan adds automation, A/B testing, send-time optimisation, and removes Brevo branding. The model can be much cheaper for businesses with large lists that send occasionally, and more expensive for businesses that send to a small list very frequently.
Brevo was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Paris, France.
