Transactional emails at no extra cost

You pay extra for SendGrid’s Email API plan on top of its Marketing Campaigns plan, if you want to send transactional messages like password resets and order updates.

Brevo offers SMTP relay. You don’t have to pay extra to send transactional emails if you’re already on a Marketing email plan.

Talk to customers via SMS and live chat — from the same tool

Want to add a live chat widget to your website or send SMS messages? With SendGrid, you have to purchase SendGrid’s Twilio solution separately.

Brevo gives you a free live chat widget with unlimited chats and complete conversation history. Sending SMS and WhatsApp messages is included in your plan — you only pay for your sending volume and destination.

Automatically add or remove subscribers from lists. Assign contacts with lead scores based on their engagement. Use Brevo automation for SMS messages and segmenting your subscribers.

Automations are limited with SendGrid. It offers a pre-built welcome workflow and not much else. And while it supports lead scoring, this feature is only available as a paid add-on.

Send emails to unlimited contacts with Brevo

SendGrid doubles your costs or more as your contact list grows. With Brevo, you get unlimited contacts on all plans. No matter how big your list gets, you don’t pay extra.

Why SendGrid users switch to Brevo

Simple and comprehensive

“[SendGrid] was too complicated to understand and I felt it was designed more for IT savvy users than end users looking for functionality.”

Great interface and customer service

“The way we use the software with differing contacts list size and numbers of sends per month make SendGrid more expensive.”

Brevo is better than the competition

“After a not so decent experience with SendGrid, I decided to try out Brevo, and it was awesome. Mails get delivered in about 2 seconds.
