| Decision point | MailerLite | Brevo |
|---|---|---|
| Free audience or storage | Up to 250 active subscribers | Storage for up to 100,000 contacts |
| Free sending | 2,500 monthly emails | Up to 300 email sends per day |
| Plan emphasis | Email campaigns, automations, forms, landing pages, and sites | Email plus SMS, transactional messaging, and other customer channels |
| Pricing basis to check | Subscriber tier, plan limits, and billing interval | Monthly send tier, contact capacity, channels, and add-ons |
Daily sends and monthly sends behave differently
MailerLite lists a monthly Free allowance; Brevo lists a daily Free cap. A daily limit can constrain a large launch even if the average month looks quiet. A monthly limit can constrain a sender whose scheduled campaigns and automated messages accumulate over the billing period. Map your real calendar before picking a plan.
Compare the product scope
MailerLite’s published pages combine email with forms, landing pages, websites, and visual automations. Brevo describes a broader multichannel platform that includes SMS and transactional email, alongside marketing email and automation. The practical question is whether you want one provider for those channels and whether each is supported at the tier and location you need.
When each is worth a closer look
- Compare MailerLite when your priority is a newsletter program with a clear subscriber cap and supporting site or landing-page tools.
- Compare Brevo when you need to evaluate email alongside transactional or additional messaging channels and want to price by send volume.
These are starting points, not recommendations for every business. Check local availability, feature limits, and the exact charge at your list and send volume. Brevo’s listed contact storage limit should not be treated as permission to email every stored contact.
