Brevo — Best for Price & Large Lists

Starting at $9/mo (20K emails, unlimited contacts)
Pricing: Different Models, Different Winners
These two platforms use fundamentally different pricing models. GetResponse charges per contact with unlimited sends. Brevo charges per email sent with unlimited contacts. The right choice depends on your list size and sending frequency.
| Scenario | GetResponse | Brevo | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 contacts, weekly sends | $19/mo | $25/mo (40K sends) | GetResponse |
| 5,000 contacts, weekly sends | $54/mo | $55/mo (200K sends) | Tie |
| 10,000 contacts, weekly sends | $79/mo | $85/mo (400K sends) | GetResponse |
| 10,000 contacts, monthly sends | $79/mo | $25/mo (40K sends) | Brevo |
| 50,000 contacts, monthly sends | $299/mo | $55/mo (200K sends) | Brevo |
Key insight: If you send weekly (4-8x per month), GetResponse is cheaper because you get unlimited sends. If you send monthly or infrequently, Brevo is dramatically cheaper because you only pay for what you send. At 50,000 contacts with monthly sends, Brevo saves you $244/mo ($2,928/year).

Which is cheaper: GetResponse or Brevo?+
It depends on your sending frequency. If you send weekly (4-8x per month), GetResponse is cheaper because you get unlimited sends for a flat per-contact price. If you send monthly or infrequently, Brevo is dramatically cheaper because you only pay for emails sent — at 50,000 contacts with monthly sends, Brevo costs $55/mo vs GetResponse's $299/mo.
Does Brevo have webinars?+
No. Brevo does not offer webinar hosting. This is GetResponse's unique differentiator — it is the only email marketing platform with built-in webinar hosting for up to 1,000 live attendees. If webinars are part of your marketing strategy, GetResponse is the obvious choice.
Can I switch from Brevo to GetResponse?+
Yes. Export your contacts from Brevo as CSV and import into GetResponse. You will need to rebuild your automation workflows, but GetResponse offers pre-built templates. Expect 1-2 weeks of transition time. GetResponse offers a 14-day free trial so you can test everything before committing.
