Pros & Cons
AWeber
Pros
- Support is the most praised area in reviews, and every plan includes 24/7 support (priority support on Plus).
- AI tools draft weekly newsletters, suggest subject lines and build a branded template from your own assets.
- RSS-to-email sends campaigns automatically when a blog, podcast or YouTube feed publishes, which suits content creators.
- Plus removes caps on lists, automations, segments and users at a low entry price of 30 USD a month.
Cons
- Costs climb steeply with list size, reaching about 600 to 750 USD a month at 100,000 subscribers.
- Lite is restrictive: one list, three automations, one segment and AWeber branding.
- Reviewers often call the interface dated, and say templates and advanced automation are limited.
- There is no SMS channel and no free plan on the current pricing page, and monthly sends are capped at 10 to 12 times list size.
- Some reviewers report that deliverability has declined.
Brevo
Pros
- The free plan sends 300 emails a day and allows up to 100,000 contacts, which is generous for testing the product or for very small lists.
- Pricing is based mainly on how many emails you send, so businesses with large lists that email rarely can keep costs low.
- Transactional email through an API and SMTP, outbound webhooks and a Zapier connector are included on every plan, including Free.
- Email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, live chat and a sales CRM are available from one vendor.
Cons
- On Starter and Standard, the lowest send tiers cap contacts at 500 to 2,500, which can force earlier upgrades.
- Pop-ups, contact scoring, WhatsApp, inbound webhooks and phone support all require Professional, which starts at $499 a month.
- Many reviewers on Capterra and Trustpilot report sudden account suspensions with unclear reasons and slow reinstatement.
- SMS and WhatsApp are billed as prepaid credits on top of the plan price, and the CRM is a separate purchase.
