SendPulsevsBrevo

SendPulse vs Brevo

Two multi-channel marketing platforms with different strengths

TL;DR

Both offer email + SMS + automation at affordable prices. SendPulse adds chatbots and web push. Brevo adds WhatsApp, live chat, and unlimited contacts. Brevo wins on pricing simplicity and contact model. SendPulse wins on chatbots and free tier.

Key Differences

The main things that set these tools apart

Pricing Model
Brevo wins

Brevo charges by email volume with unlimited contacts. SendPulse charges by subscriber count. For businesses with large contact lists but moderate sending, Brevo is dramatically cheaper.

Chatbots
SendPulse wins

SendPulse has chatbot builders for WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, and Viber. Brevo doesn't have a chatbot builder at all. For messaging automation, SendPulse is the clear winner.

Transactional Email
Brevo wins

Brevo includes transactional email on every plan, even free. SendPulse treats transactional email as a separate product with separate pricing. Brevo makes this much simpler.

Free Tier
SendPulse wins

SendPulse gives 500 subscribers and 15,000 emails/month. Brevo gives unlimited contacts but only 300 emails/day (about 9,000/month). SendPulse's free tier is more generous for email volume.

Overview

SendPulse and Brevo are both multi-channel marketing platforms targeting small and mid-sized businesses. For our take on each, see our SendPulse comparison and Brevo comparison.

The Pricing Difference

Brevo's unlimited contacts model is a game-changer for businesses with large lists. Pay only for emails sent, not contacts stored. SendPulse charges per subscriber, which gets expensive as your list grows. At 10k subscribers, Brevo is nearly 4x cheaper.

SendPulse's Chatbot Advantage

SendPulse's chatbot builder covers WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, and Viber. Build automated conversation flows without code. Brevo has WhatsApp campaigns and live chat, but no chatbot builder. For messaging automation, SendPulse is ahead.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders who don't need chatbots or multi-channel marketing, Sequenzy combines transactional email and marketing campaigns with Stripe integration at $49/month.
