Brevo vs Mailmodo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Brevo if

• Fits if you have thousands of contacts but only email them a few times a month
• Works for apps or shops that need receipt and password emails as well as newsletters

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay on Starter, which has 1 seat, no automations and the Brevo logo unless you pay $12 more
• Pricey if you want WhatsApp, popups or push, which start on the $499 Professional plan
• Skip it if you mail a growing list every day, since the price follows the emails you send
• Watch out: Starter and Standard cap contacts by volume, at 500 for 5,000 emails a month and 2,500 for 15,000
• Watch out: the free plan stops at 300 emails a day, and SMS credits are bought separately by destination

Pick Mailmodo if

• Fits if you want forms and quizzes inside the email itself
• Makes sense if you have a small list and a budget for AMP emails

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are a small sender: the entry price is $149 a month, billed annually
• Skip it if you want a monthly price, as none was readable on the page
• Watch out: AMP for Email works only in some mail apps, so Mailmodo uses CSS tricks to cover Apple Mail
• Tight if you need more than 1 team member or 1 active journey on Lite
• Watch out: the full integration list starts on Pro at $199

Brevo

• Starter and Standard cap contacts by email volume: 500 contacts at 5,000 emails a month, 2,500 at 15,000, and 500,000 from 20,000.
• The Free plan is limited to 300 emails a day.
• Starter has a single seat and shows the Brevo logo unless you pay $12 a month; extra seats on Standard cost $12 a month each, up to 3.
• SMS credits are bought separately and priced by volume and destination; WhatsApp campaigns start at the $499 Professional plan.

Mailmodo

• Prices shown are for 500 contacts billed annually; the page says annual plans save 20%, but monthly-billing prices were not readable.
• Lite limits you to 1 team member and 1 active journey; the full integration list starts on Pro.
• A comparison table on the pricing page lists $59 at 10,000 contacts without naming a plan, so larger-list prices are unclear.
• AMP for Email works only in some clients; Mailmodo says it uses CSS interactivity to cover Apple Mail.
