Brevo vs Thunk Mail

Similar limits, different rules

Thunk Mail Starter costs $7 USD a month, and Brevo Starter starts at $9 USD a month. Each price is for a specific tier. Check taxes, billing term, and required extras for your audience size.

Thunk Mail's rolling window covers the last 30 days, and Starter also counts how many different people you email. 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.

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 · Email sends: 300 / day. Unused daily sends do not carry over. Evidence record · Brevo source
• Brevo Starter · Email sends: 5,000 / month. No daily cap at the entry tier. Evidence record · Brevo source
• Thunk Mail Starter · Email sends: 5,000 / rolling 30 days. Also limited to 500 different recipients per rolling 30 days, 1,000 sends a day, and 500 sends an hour. Campaigns and autoresponders share these limits. Evidence record · Thunk Mail source

Automation and campaign sends can share the same budget

Thunk Mail says autoresponder emails use the normal sending allowance. 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.

Brevo limits automation by contacts. Thunk Mail limits emails in each autoresponder. Read each limit in its own unit. On Brevo Standard, unlimited automation contacts does not lift the tier's limits on stored contacts or emails sent.

• Brevo Starter · Automations: Up to 2,000 contacts. Evidence record · Brevo source
• Brevo Standard · Automations: Unlimited automation contacts. The tier's limits on stored contacts and emails sent still apply. Evidence record · Brevo source
• Thunk Mail Starter · Automations: 1 email / autoresponder. This counts emails in each autoresponder, not workflows. Autoresponder emails use the normal sending allowance. Evidence record · Thunk Mail source
• Thunk Mail Base · Automations: Unlimited emails / autoresponder. This counts emails in each autoresponder, not workflows. Autoresponder emails use the normal sending allowance. Evidence record · Thunk Mail source

Include required branding removal in the price

If you need the provider badge removed, price the whole purchase. Thunk Mail includes removal on Base and Pro. Brevo charges for it as an add-on on Starter and includes it on Standard. The entry price alone may understate the cost.

• Thunk Mail Base · Remove provider branding: Removal included. Evidence record · Thunk Mail source
• Brevo Starter · Remove provider branding: Paid add-on. Evidence record · Brevo source
• Brevo Standard · Remove provider branding: Included. Evidence record · Brevo source

Try a representative campaign before committing

Thunk Mail lets new accounts write content and send tests before choosing a paid plan. Brevo has a Free sending plan with its own daily limit. Setup access, a trial, and an ongoing free plan are different things.

To try them, import a small test list of people who opted in, go through signup, send a sample campaign, and test your follow-up. Check list export and how each service handles suppressed addresses. This comparison covers published plan terms. It does not show which service delivers better or is easier to use.
