Brevo vs MailerLite
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Brevosite ↗pricing ↗
A messaging platform that sends email, SMS and WhatsApp from one account, with a CRM attached — formerly Sendinblue. Paid plans start at $9/mo (Starter); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $499/mo (Professional). It bills by country — entry £6/mo to a UK reader and €7/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads.
MailerLitesite ↗pricing ↗
A deliberately simple email marketing tool: newsletters, automations, landing pages and forms, aimed at creators and small businesses who want the essentials without a suite around them. Paid plans start at $12/mo (Comfort); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $25/mo (Power). MailerLite is already the cheap answer in this category, so people leaving it are usually after something it does not do rather than a lower bill.

How to choose in this category
- Most tools price by list size — a quoted price is only true at a stated subscriber count, so re-check the ladder at yours.
- Free tiers differ in what they cap: subscribers, sends or features. Two ‘free plans’ are rarely the same thing.
- Headline prices are often the annual-billing rate; the pay-monthly figure sits higher.
