Pros and cons
MailerLite
Pros
- Comfort is the cheapest plan here with real automation at 500 and 2,500 subscribers ($12 and $33 per month, billed monthly)
- Comfort allows 50 automations with up to 100 steps each
- Email A/B testing is included even on the Free plan
- 14-day trial of premium features with no credit card
Cons
- The Free plan was cut to 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails per month on June 16, 2026
- No SMS or transactional email inside MailerLite plans; those run through MailerSend, a separate product
- Comfort caps monthly sends at 10x your tier, so heavy senders need Power
- Existing customers moved to the new prices at their next renewal
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
