Our verdict
The difference is the pricing model and the on-ramp. Brevo bills per email sent and is unbeatable for anyone with many contacts who mails selectively. MailerLite bills per subscriber, has the most pleasant editor, and includes automation in its free plan. For most starters and creators, MailerLite wins on ease of use; owners of big lists do the math and pick Brevo.
“Paying per email sent instead of per contact makes Brevo unique: we stored tens of thousands of contacts for free. For a big list you do not email daily, it is by far the cheapest serious option.”Editorial team, on Brevo
“The most pleasant editor we tested and a free plan you can genuinely start a business on. For beginners, this is our first recommendation.”Editorial team, on MailerLite
