Each price is for a specific tier. Check taxes, billing term, and required extras for your audience size.

If you often swap people in and out of a small list, that limit can stop you even when your contact count is under the cap. Source: https://www.thunkmail.com/help-center/plans-and-send-limits For example, Brevo Free's limit of 300 a day means a 500-person campaign takes two days. Brevo Starter has no daily cap. Thunk Mail Starter allows 1,000 sends a day and 500 an hour, plus its rolling 30-day and unique-recipient limits. Always note the plan and time window with each limit. - Brevo Free, sends: 300 / day. Unused daily sends do not carry over. Source: https://help.brevo.com/hc/en-us/articles/208589409-About-Brevo-s-pricing-plans, checked 2026-11-12.

A four-email autoresponder sent to 300 people adds 1,200 sends. Check that against your newsletter schedule before starting a sequence or adding an existing list to it.

On Brevo Standard, unlimited automation contacts does not lift the tier's limits on stored contacts or emails sent. - Brevo Starter, automation: Up to 2,000 contacts.

Brevo has a Free sending plan with its own daily limit. Setup access, a trial, and an ongoing free plan are different things.
