Pros & Cons
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.
Squarespace
Pros
- Email Campaigns sits inside the site dashboard and can pull in blog posts and products, so there is no separate tool to connect.
- Email pricing is based on sends, not subscribers, which makes large lists that receive occasional newsletters cheap to host.
- The vendor pricing page lists unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, SSL and 24/7 support on every plan.
- Core and higher plans remove the store transaction fee and add code injection for extra customisation.
- There is a 14-day free trial that needs no credit card.
Cons
- Email Campaigns has no A/B testing of subject lines or content.
- Email segmentation only works with tags, without and/or conditions.
- Automations are single follow-up emails triggered by a sign-up, purchase or form submission, with no multi-step drips.
- There is no native CRM, so lead tracking needs third-party tools.
- Prices rose in 2025 and again in the US in July 2026, and Email Campaigns is billed on top of the website plan.
