Estimates based on $15,000/mo volume. Rates can change without notice, confirm current pricing with the provider before signing on. Estimates use each free plan where your subscriber count fits, otherwise the cheapest paid tier that covers your list size. Turn on the automation toggle to bump providers to their advanced automation tier. Brevo is priced by monthly email volume rather than contacts, so its cost changes with the Emails /mo input. Enter your current monthly cost to see your savings against each provider.
How we calculate this
  • Estimated cost: each provider’s published prices and rates applied to the inputs you set above (such as volume, team size, or invoices), plus any fixed monthly fees.
  • Providers with an incomplete cost (shown as “+ processing”) and quote-only providers are never ranked as the cheapest while a complete-cost option exists. A “+ payroll” tag means payroll is not built in, so you would run it on separate software; those providers are still ranked on cost, and you can hide them with the Payroll included filter.
  • These are estimates. Published rates can change and your final pricing depends on your business, so confirm current pricing with the provider before switching.
