Meaningful full marketing app for startups

As an early startup, i used your product for sending bulk email. So features like bounce rate, click rate helped me to understand a lot

Pros

All the features are useful, especially ability to design email/wa templates.
The learning curve is low, making product usable

Cons

I think if i have the ability to select number of users to bulk send, that would be great

Best choice for woocommerce stores

My overall experience with Brevo has been excellent. It’s the best CRM platform I've used for WooCommerce. I’ve noticed significant improvements and evolution in the platform since its days as Sendinblue, making it even more powerful and user-friendly.

Pros

What I like most about Brevo is the unlimited contacts, the ease of segmentation, and the excellent e-commerce data integration, which works really well as part of a CRM.

Cons

I like least about Brevo is the loading of unnecessary resources in e-commerce, the lack of clarity about the billing process, and the limited automation features for push notifications. Additionally, some features that could be available in the Pro plan, especially those related to e-commerce, are only offered in the more expensive plan.

Alternatives Considered

ActiveCampaign, MailPoet and Mailchimp

Reasons for Switching to Brevo

The option to have unlimited contacts and only be charged for the emails sent was a key deciding factor for me. This pricing model is highly beneficial for managing larger lists without worrying about escalating costs

Solid support and growth potential for independent business owners

I'm very happy to stay with Brevo as my emailing platform, despite the minor issues I've experienced. Customer support is quick to respond and always does their best to understand the problem and offer solutions - even if there is not always an easy resolve. I appreciate the fact that the platform is always improving and takes feedback into consideration. There's a good supply of self-help articles and easy channels for submitting a ticket or chatting to Customer Support. The Dashboard can sometimes be a bit confusing and difficult to navigate but on the whole it is user-friendly. Mostly I appreciate the fact that as a non-paying customer (at present, with hopes to grow a subscriber list so that I can afford a paid account) I have not felt marginalised, and feel equally welcome and supported on the platform.

Pros

Brevo offers a range of options for both free and paying customers to communicate effectively with their clients/subscribers, and manage their contact lists. As an indie business owner, Brevo has made it possible for me to establish a reliable reputation with my subscribers by offering information in clean, fresh designs and with good deliverability rates.

Cons

I've experienced most challenges on Brevo with the automation system. As far as I know, this is constantly being worked on and upgraded - unfortunately, it has led to some deliverability issues, 'broken' chains in the automation flow, and made it necessary for me to find manual work-arounds.

Alternatives Considered

MailerLite, Mailchimp and AWeber

Reasons for Choosing Brevo

Previous product was too limited in terms of email design/templates, did not offer as much range on the free option (especially in terms of the amount of contacts allowed)

Switched From

WordPress

Reasons for Switching to Brevo

The number of free daily emails allowed (our campaigns/email offers run daily for several weeks) as well as the simplicity of the template design

Great value software

It’s great value and facilitates you in creating great campaigns once you get through the verification process which is likely to take time

Pros

It’s bang for its buck and ease in creating campaigns

Cons

I struggled to get verified when creating the account which took a while to get resolved

An excellent alternative to larger brands

We made the switch to Brevo from a well-known large e-marketing platform and we found the ease of use better, the design capabilities better and the quality of customer service better, it was also 1/10th of the price and allowed us to expand our contacts further than the bounds of our previous subscription. Despite it having some way to go in extra features, it is a good starting platform and the customer service team are excellent and efficient.

Pros

Value for money is excellent, the customer support is great and it is really easy to create excellent-looking campaigns, the templates are nice and there is room for lots of customisation.

Cons

I wish they had more functions to separate mailing lists, with the ability to create different brand libraries and have them assigned to certain lists. I run multiple campaigns with different brands and having to re-do the brand library every time is frustrating.

Alternatives Considered

Airship, Braze, Sprout, Omnisend and HubSpot CRM

Reasons for Choosing Brevo

Cost, capabilities and design mostly. We were paying lots of money for mailchimp but felt like we weren't getting the level of service we needed. Brevo having no contacts cap and a wider range of design options made it the ideal choice for us. We are a small independent company and value the customer service we get from brevo.
