FAQ
Brevo starts at Free versus Loops's Free. Because pricing models differ by tier, the cheaper option depends on your monthly volume, so compare the pricing rows in the scorecard above.
Brevo pricing is based on email volume sent rather than contact count. Paid plans start with the Starter tier at about $9 per month for 5,000 emails, then scale up with volume, with higher-tier prices varying somewhat depending on when and where you check. A Business tier and custom Enterprise plans with dedicated IPs and SLAs are also available.
