Brevo

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) bundles email, SMS, automation and a light CRM at a price that undercuts almost everyone. Its free plan gives unlimited contacts with a daily send cap, and paid plans bill by emails sent rather than contacts stored — a big saving if you have a large list you email occasionally.

For most small and mid-sized businesses, Brevo delivers the best mix of features, deliverability and price — and the send-based pricing avoids the contact-count trap that inflates rivals' bills.
