Brevo: Email Marketing Without the List Tax

Most email platforms charge by the size of your list, which punishes you for growing an audience you rarely email. Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) flips that: you pay for the emails you actually send, and contacts are unlimited on every plan, including the free one.

What Brevo Does

• Email campaigns and automation with a drag-and-drop editor, segmentation, and multi-step workflows
• Built-in CRM with deals and pipelines at no extra cost
• SMS and WhatsApp campaigns for markets where inboxes are not the main channel
• Transactional email via API or SMTP for your app or store receipts
• Signup forms and landing pages to grow the list in the first place

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

If you run a newsletter, a blog, or a small product on the side, Brevo's free tier (300 emails per day, unlimited contacts) covers a surprising amount of ground before you pay anything. Everything runs in the browser, and the unlimited-contact model means a growing audience does not force a plan upgrade the way it does on subscriber-priced tools.

Pricing

Free plan with 300 emails per day and unlimited contacts; paid plans start at around $9 per month and scale with sending volume rather than list size.

A pragmatic choice for nomads who want one tool for newsletters, automation, and CRM without watching a subscriber counter.
