| Which plan to pick | Try Free first. Most small businesses should go straight to Standard, because it removes Brevo's logo and adds automations. Pick your email volume carefully, since that's what you pay for. Yearly billing saves 10%, and prices vary by country. | Basic does the job for a solo marketer or founder who wants a serious swipe file. Step up to Workflow when you have a team or you want to track specific competitors and connect it to Claude. Agency only makes sense if you brief for many brands. | Make a few videos on Free to see if the style suits your brand. Starter removes the watermark and is enough for a small store. Check the price at checkout, because Pippit charges different amounts in different countries. |
