# The best Brevo alternatives

Web page: https://fromly.io/alternatives/brevo

## Why people look for a Brevo alternative

- Marketing automation starts on the Standard plan, not on Starter
- Starter emails carry the Brevo logo unless you pay to remove it
- You only need product emails, not a suite with SMS, a CRM and loyalty tools
- Prices move in tiers, so going just over one costs the next
