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.
Teachable
Pros
- Builder and Growth charge no Teachable transaction fee when you use Teachable Payments.
- Teachable Payments handles sales tax and VAT for creators.
- Abandoned cart recovery, one-click upsells and coupons are built in.
- Every plan includes branded iOS and Android student apps and up to 1TB of video storage.
- A 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee lower the risk of trying it.
Cons
- Built-in email is basic, with no visual automation builder or advanced segmentation.
- Starter takes a 7.5% cut per sale and limits you to 5 products.
- There is no free plan, and the 2025 pricing changes raised costs for many creators.
- Reviewers report slow support replies on lower plans.
- Plans allow only a few Zapier or webhook connections, and API access starts on Growth.
