Brevo
Brevo is an all-in-one customer engagement platform that combines email marketing, marketing automation, SMS and WhatsApp campaigns, transactional messaging, CRM, live chat, and a customer data platform in a single product. The platform is designed to let small businesses and larger organizations manage contacts, build multichannel campaigns, and track engagement without stitching together separate tools. Core capabilities include drag-and-drop campaign builders, automated customer journeys, segmentation and personalization, sales pipeline management with custom deal stages, and a loyalty program module for rewards. Brevo also offers transactional email and SMS delivery through SMTP relay and a REST API, making it usable as infrastructure for application-generated messages as well as for bulk marketing sends. Brevo exposes developer resources including an open API, SDKs, guides, and code recipes, and it advertises integrations with more than 150 third-party tools such as Shopify, WordPress, Stripe, and Zapier. Plans target entrepreneurs and small businesses through to mid-market and enterprise customers that need tailored onboarding, data control, and enterprise-grade security. Brevo was formerly known as Sendinblue and rebranded in 2023, expanding from an email and SMS marketing suite into a broader customer engagement and CRM platform. Exact pricing tiers, free-plan send limits, and feature gating vary by region and change over time, so current details should be confirmed on the vendor's pricing page.

Problem solved
Marketing, sales, and transactional communication are typically split across separate email, SMS, CRM, and chat vendors, which fragments customer data and forces teams to manage multiple subscriptions and integrations. Brevo consolidates these channels into one platform with a shared contact database, automation engine, and API so businesses can run campaigns and transactional messaging from a single system.
