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.Start on Free while your list is small, then move to Standard. Pick Pro when you send several emails a week or want product recommendations chosen by AI. Stores paying $400 a month or more get a free account expert.
