Brevo does everything we verified about Moosend for $16 a month less at 20,000 emails against Moosend at 5,000 contacts, $32 against $48. 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: Moosend is built for serious automation and Brevo is not, so this is a swap with a cost.

How to read the feature lines
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.
Or let it pick for you
This page compares everything to Moosend. 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”.
