Brevo

What is Brevo?

‍

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a customer engagement and marketing platform used for email campaigns, SMS, WhatsApp messaging, CRM, and marketing automation. It is widely used by marketing and sales teams and follows a hybrid licensing model based on email volume, contacts, and optional user seats.

Unlike strict per-seat tools, Brevo pricing depends heavily on sending volume + feature tier + add-ons.

Where Brevo license management goes wrong without integration

‍

Usage-based pricing creates hidden complexity
Costs depend on email volume and features, not just users, making it hard to track actual license consumption.

Inactive users still consuming paid seats
Even when marketing users are inactive, they may still occupy paid access depending on plan configuration.

Feature tiers create unnecessary upgrades
Teams often upgrade to higher plans for automation or analytics features they don’t fully use.

Add-ons silently increase licensing cost
SMS, WhatsApp, dedicated IPs, and extra seats are charged separately, increasing total spend.

No visibility across teams and campaigns
It becomes difficult to understand which teams or campaigns are driving license usage and cost.
