Who is Brevo for?

Watch out for
Hidden costs and limitations that aren't obvious from the pricing page.
- ⚠ Pricing is per email sent, not per contact — daily senders pay 30× more than monthly senders
- ⚠ Marketing automation requires the Business plan (€65+/mo) — not included in Starter
- ⚠ SMS credits are billed separately on top of your email plan
