Brevo, formerly SendinBlue, is a CRM tool with lead tracking and SMS messaging. But unless you need those specific features, you may end up paying more than you need. Podia is an all-in-one platform that automatically connects your email with the rest of your business. Which is right for you?

It comes down to what the two platforms let you, the entrepreneur, do.
No need to pay extra for third-party website builders. Podia has a beginner-friendly website tool and blog so you can customize your online home however you like. Plus, you can add email opt-in forms with a few clicks.
Entice potential customers to join your list with lead magnets. Create a free product like a checklist, ebook, or mini-course – then automatically send it to your new subscribers.
Podia’s email dashboard will show you how many products you sold from a specific email and your total earnings for each of your email marketing campaigns.
Using Podia Email has supported me in streamlining the way I connect with and stay in touch with my clients, students and community. Having the email service in-house, so to speak, with my courses and products creates ease and cohesiveness in my business. The visual editor is intuitive and easy to use - I am very happy with what I have been able to create thus far. I am thrilled to notice that not only have my open rates improved using Podia Email but my click rates have also improved!!
Podia and Brevo are both powerful email marketing tools, but Brevo focuses more on customer relationship management and lead generation while Podia gives you a wide range of tools for building an online business.
Every small business has different needs, so to help you make the best choice for you, let’s see how Podia vs. Brevo compare.
Podia plan prices vary depending on how many subscribers you have on your list, while Brevo plan prices are based on how many emails you’d like to send per month.
With Podia, you’ll start by choosing a base plan:
Mover: $39/month or $33/month when paid annually (5% transaction fee): Includes your website, blog, and landing pages, plus unlimited digital products, unlimited online courses, and our easier-than-drag-and-drop online course builder
Shaker: $89/month or $75/month when paid annually: Includes everything in Mover plus affiliates and no transaction fees
All plans include your first 100 email subscribers for free. You can add more subscribers for an additional fee.
Up to 100 subscribers: Free
Up to 500 subscribers: $9/month
Up to 1500 subscribers: $17/month
Up to 2500 subscribers: $25/month
Up to 5000 subscribers: $42/month
Up to 10000 subscribers: $63/month
There is no email send limit with Podia, so you can send as many messages as you like on all plans. All plans have full email marketing features (including templates, automations, newsletters, campaigns, tagging, and scheduling), so you only need to upgrade if your subscriber list grows.
With Brevo, plans are determined based on features and how many emails you’d like to send per month. You can have unlimited contacts on some plans, but there are monthly email send limits on all plans.
Brevo plans:
- Free plan: Includes email campaigns, templates, and workflows
Email limit of 300 sends per day
- Starter plan: Everything in free, plus analytics and no email send limit
Starting at $25/month for 20,000 monthly email sends
$69/month for 100,000 monthly email sends
- Business plan: Everything in Starter plus a landing page builder, unlimited automations, AB testing, and phone support
Starting at $65/month for 20,000 monthly email sends
$129/month for 100,000 monthly email sends
- Brevo Enterprise: Everything in Business plus advanced security, more integrations, and personalized support
Custom pricing
Plans go up to one million monthly email sends, but if you need more than that you can contact Brevo for a custom plan.
Let’s say you have 5,000 email subscribers. You’d like to send a weekly newsletter and periodically promote your digital products, so you expect to send between 20,000 and 40,000 emails per month (or 4–8 emails per subscriber).
With Podia, you could get the Mover plan plus an email add-on for 5,000 subscribers for a total of $63/per month (paid annually). You get unlimited email sends on all plans, so you don’t have to worry about going over. If you have a longer campaign or want to send more reminder emails during a launch, you’re free to do that without worrying about extra charges.
With Brevo, the free plan would be challenging since you can only send 300 emails per day. You couldn’t send a message to your entire list on the same day, so you’d have to use a paid plan.
Brevo plan costs for 40,000 monthly email sends:
Starter: $39/month
Business: $84/month
Keep in mind that these prices are just for your email list and you will need other tools for running your full business.
Brevo’s Starter plan doesn’t include landing pages, and no Brevo plans include the ability to sell digital downloads, so you would likely have to pay for third-party tools to get these features. Also, if you go over the 40,000 email send limit in a given month, you have to pay overage fees.
Podia and Brevo both have an email editor and templates you can use to jumpstart your creativity.
Podia’s point-and-click email editor makes it easy to add design elements like text, dividers, buttons, images, social sharing icons, and file downloads.
You can customize your fonts, colors, buttons, and padding for every section of your email so your message stands out from the crowd, and if you need some inspiration to get you started, you can choose from a library of beautiful pre-made templates.
Brevo also has design features so you can create emails that match your branding, including a library of templates you can use to get started.
Both platforms have email automations and segmentation so you can keep track of your followers and send the right messages to the right people.
Because Podia is an all-in-one platform, you can build your website, blog, and sales pages in the same place you manage your email marketing and products. Your full website, blogging, and unlimited pages are included on all plans.
Podia automatically generates a sales page for each product you create, and you can build as many newsletter and email sign-up form pages as you like. Because everything is connected, you can use features like automatic blog post emailing to share your work even faster.
Brevo does not include a website tool so you’ll need to integrate with a third-party website platform like Squarespace, WordPress, or Shopify. Landing pages are included with the Business and Enterprise plan.
Managing your email and digital products in the same place streamlines your business. Podia gives you the ability to create and sell online courses, digital downloads, webinars, coaching products, memberships, and subscriptions so you won’t need to set up complicated integrations or pay for extra software.
Instead, you’ll have your products, payment processors (Podia connects with PayPal or Stripe), delivery system, waitlists, email marketing campaigns, upsells, and customer contacts under one roof.
Brevo does not include the ability to sell digital products or services, so you may need to purchase additional ecommerce tools and connect them through Zapier to get this functionality.
Learning how to use your email marketing software shouldn’t feel like climbing Mt. Everest. Podia is easy to use out of the box, but if you do need some extra help, our friendly support team is here for you.
Podia customers get expert email support, chat support, help docs, free training courses, guides, video tutorials, and access to our welcoming Podia Community on all plans.
Brevo offers email support on the Free and Starter plans and phone plus chat support on the Business and Enterprise plans. Brevo also has training courses and a help center.
Podia and Brevo can both help you run your email marketing, but Podia goes a step further with features for creators at each stage of their online business.
