👎 Watch out
−Enforces a strict daily sending cap of 300 emails instead of a flexible monthly pool.
−Free tier emails carry a mandatory 'Sent with Brevo' footer logo.
−Multi-step marketing automation workflows are limited on the free plan.
−Phone support and deliverability consulting require expensive enterprise subscriptions.
The catch
Sending is constrained by a 300-email daily cap, and outgoing messages display a Brevo branding badge.
