Which plan to pickTry 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.Set up your first comment-to-DM on Free to see it work, then take the 14-day trial. Essential is enough if you just want links sent from comments. Pick Pro if you want AI answering DMs or use WhatsApp, and Business once a team shares the inbox. Prices exclude tax and vary by billing country.Use the 3-day trial to make a week of posts and see if the style fits. Core suits a single business that mostly makes images. Pick Rise if you want video or auto posting. Yearly prices were discounted when checked, so confirm at checkout.
