Brevo vs. SendGrid: What's the difference?
When it comes to email marketing, both products offer similar features, including tools for design, segmentation, and personalization. The main difference between Brevo and SendGrid is that Brevo gives you transactional emails, live chat, and a Sales Platform at no extra cost, while SendGrid charges extra for these features.
Transactional emails at no extra cost
Brevo offers SMTP relay. You don’t have to pay extra to send transactional emails if you’re already on a Marketing email plan.
Talk to customers via SMS and live chat — from the same tool
Brevo gives you a free live chat widget with unlimited chats and complete conversation history. Sending SMS and WhatsApp messages is included in your plan — you only pay for your sending volume and destination.
Get more marketing automation features
Automations are limited with SendGrid. It offers a pre-built welcome workflow and not much else. And while it supports lead scoring, this feature is only available as a paid add-on.
Send emails to unlimited contacts with Brevo
SendGrid doubles your costs or more as your contact list grows. With Brevo, you get unlimited contacts on all plans. No matter how big your list gets, you don’t pay extra.
