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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
