Brevo vs Campaign Monitor
Priced at four list sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
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. Take Campaign Monitor if you want a mature platform with a large ecosystem and the least to learn. Brevo charges by emails and Campaign Monitor by contacts, so there is no single crossover. At a typical setup Brevo is $43 a month cheaper ($32 at 20,000 emails against $75 at 5,000 contacts).
