AWeber vs Brevo
Priced at four list sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
Take AWeber if you want a mature platform with a large ecosystem, a free plan you can run on and the least to learn. Take Brevo if you want the cheapest way to send to a real list, a free plan you can run on and SMS beside email. AWeber charges by contacts and Brevo by emails, so there is no single crossover. At a typical setup Brevo is $28 a month cheaper ($32 at 20,000 emails against $60 at 5,000 contacts).
What each one actually costs

No verdict from me yet
I have not used AWeber or Brevo on camera, so everything on this page comes from their own pricing pages, re-read weekly, and nothing from my own experience. When I review either, it will be here.
