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.Business is the plan most businesses should pick, because that's where the AI, analytics and MCP live. Professional is enough if you only need scheduling. Every tenth social account is free, and team members beyond you cost extra.
