Pros and cons

Brevo

Pros

  • Lowest entry price here: $9/month for 5,000 emails on Starter (monthly)
  • Free plan stores up to 100,000 contacts and includes abandoned cart recovery
  • SMS, WhatsApp and transactional email sit next to marketing email
  • Large lists are cheap if you send rarely: from 20,000 emails a month you can store up to 500,000 contacts

Cons

  • Pricing by email volume makes side-by-side comparison harder
  • On the first three tiers, going over the contact cap upgrades you to the next tier
  • Starter automation covers only 2,000 contacts, so automating a bigger list needs Standard
  • Removing the Brevo logo on Starter is a paid add-on, and Brevo's pages list different prices for it

Constant Contact

Pros

  • Live phone and chat support on every plan, including Lite
  • Events, registrations and payments built in
  • Social posting and a social ads manager next to email
  • Sending does not stop at the limit; extra emails cost $2 per 1,000

Cons

  • No free plan
  • Lite has 1 user, 1 custom segment, 1 automation template and no A/B testing
  • Custom automations need Premium, which starts at $80/month (monthly)
  • Prices above the starting tier were not readable on its pricing page
