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.Try the editor on Free, but expect to pay before you can download anything. Business is the plan to pick if you want your brand fonts and colours locked in or need PowerPoint and video files. Always pay yearly, since monthly billing costs about twice as much.
