Where Brevo shines

  • Genuinely broad suite: email, SMS, WhatsApp, chat, meetings, and a free CRM
  • Unlimited contacts on paid plans — volume-based pricing, not list-based
  • Strong European presence and multilingual support

If you want one login for email, SMS, WhatsApp, live chat, and a CRM — and your list is huge while your send volume is small — Brevo’s unlimited-contacts, pay-per-email model and channel breadth are a genuinely good fit for marketing-led teams.

Why teams pick MailBlastr

  • Built for developers first, marketers included — not the reverse. Brevo is a marketer’s suite with an API attached. MailBlastr leads with the API: typed SDKs in 8 languages, a CLI, copy-paste quickstarts, signed webhooks, idempotency keys, batch endpoints, and an MCP server — while still shipping the campaign, segment, and automation UI marketers need.
  • Automation and A/B without the Business tier. On Brevo, unlimited automation and A/B testing arrive with the Business plan ($18+/month); Starter excludes them. Every MailBlastr plan — Free included — has visual automations, A/B testing, segments, topics, and polls.
  • Transactional email is a first-class citizen. Brevo’s transactional sending exists but plays second fiddle to the marketing suite. MailBlastr treats product email — delivery speed, event webhooks, searchable 30-day logs, suppression management — as the core product, with marketing built on the same rails.
  • A daily-cap-free paid ladder. Brevo’s free tier caps at 300/day and paid tiers meter by monthly volume with feature gates per tier. MailBlastr paid plans have no daily cap and one consistent feature set — tiers change volume, not capability.

Frequently asked questions

Brevo has unlimited contacts — doesn’t that beat MailBlastr?

For huge lists with tiny send volume, yes, and that is Brevo’s sweet spot. MailBlastr plans include contacts up to 250,000 on stock tiers, and its pricing rewards the opposite shape: high sending volume with a focused list, where Brevo’s per-email tiers climb quickly.

Which is better for developers?

MailBlastr — the API is the product: 8 typed SDKs, CLI, signed webhooks, batch sends, idempotency, natural-language scheduling, and docs written for engineers. Brevo’s API covers the suite but the platform is designed around the marketing UI.

Does Brevo gate automations behind higher tiers?

Starter excludes unlimited automation and A/B testing — those arrive with Business ($18+/month). MailBlastr includes automations (10,000 runs/month) and A/B testing on every plan, including Free.

Does MailBlastr do SMS or WhatsApp like Brevo?

No — MailBlastr is deliberately email-only. If multichannel campaigns are core to your strategy, Brevo’s breadth wins; if email is the job, a focused platform does it better.

How do I migrate from Brevo?

Export contacts to CSV (or sync via API), port templates as HTML, verify your domain, and swap transactional calls to POST /emails or an SDK. Automation journeys rebuild quickly in the visual builder.
