Comparison

Flodesk vs Brevo pricing

These two do not sell the same thing. Flodesk charges for active subscribers and includes unlimited email sends on paid plans. Brevo charges for monthly send volume and caps the list underneath. Under the weekly send assumption Brevo Starter undercuts Flodesk Lite at every overlapping monthly stop both publish. The Flodesk 100,000 column stays empty on every plan.

Snapshot 3, Flodesk checked 13 September 2026, Brevo checked 25 September 2026. Monthly billing shown. Brevo rows assume 4 sends per contact per month. Flodesk stays outside the six vendor tables and the watchlist.

Sends, free plans and what each one counts

Paid Flodesk Lite, Pro and Everything include unlimited email sends. Brevo sells send volume bands and attaches a hard contact cap to each band. At 25,000 contacts under 4 sends per contact per month, Brevo needs about 100,000 emails a month, which lands on the 100,000 send band.

Brevo. Brevo bills send volume, so a blocklisted contact costs nothing to send to and Brevo says as much. It also says blocklisted contacts are still added to the total number of contacts, and since October 2025 that total is capped by the send band. So they do not cost sends and they do consume the cap. Its free plan covers 100,000 contacts. Storage is the generous part and sending is not. Brevo holds 100,000 contacts for nothing, which is more than any paid plan below the 20,000 send band allows, and removing the daily send cap is the main thing Starter buys. Per contact against per send sets the weekly send assumption out in full.

Flodesk. Soft bounced contacts still count toward the tier. Unsubscribed, hard bounced, cleaned, archived and deleted contacts stay off it. The free plan covers forms and landing pages and does not send email. Lite stops at 25,000 active subscribers, then auto-moves to Pro.
