The 9 closest of 15, each with its real monthly cost at 5,000 contacts and what it does that Campaign Monitor does not. See all 18.
Brevo does everything we verified about Campaign Monitor for $43 a month less at 20,000 emails against Campaign Monitor at 5,000 contacts, $32 against $75. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Campaign Monitor is built for a mature platform with a large ecosystem and the least to learn and Brevo is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Expensive for the list size at every band, Lite caps sends at 5 per contact, and the page lists no landing pages and names SMS only in the navigation.
It runs $75 a month at 5,000 contacts with the add-ons it forces on you included. 10 of the 15 alternatives to Campaign Monitor cost less than that.

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with the list and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other twelve are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to Campaign Monitor. The shortlist asks 6 questions about what you send and how big your list is, and gives you four picks priced at your own list size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
