Choose ActiveCampaign if
- Small businesses wanting automation and CRM from one vendor
- Anyone who wants a stated refund path rather than a trial that quietly converts
Choose Brevo if
- Anyone with a large list mailed rarely — contacts are not the billing unit
- Small senders: 5,000 emails a month costs nothing
Where each one disappoints
ActiveCampaign
- Teams above five people — every tier bundles a fixed seat count
Brevo
- High-frequency senders — the jump from Standard to Professional is $18 to $499
