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
