Brevo

Email and marketing platform with a free plan, transactional email API and customer data tools.

Platformbrevo.comFrance; sold worldwide, with data hosted in the European UnionReviewed October 2026
Visit site

Brevo offers email campaigns, automation, a transactional email API and a customer data platform. A free plan allows 300 emails a day with no time limit, and paid plans are priced by monthly email volume. Brevo states that it is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and hosts its databases in the European Union.

Where it shines

  • A free plan with no time limit (300 emails a day).
  • Data hosted in the European Union, with a published sub-processor list.
  • The account interface is available in French among six languages.

Check before signing

  • Some sub-processors rely on EU-US transfer mechanisms, which matters for strict EU-only processing.
  • Arabic is not among the interface languages.
