Where Bitelio Beats Brevo

Email done properly, minus the suite sprawl

Simpler Pricing

1,000 emails/month on the free plan, then Pro at $19/mo with 15,000 included. Contact count never factors in, and growth never triggers surprise charges.

Developer-First

A tidy API, documentation that respects your time, and setup measured in minutes. For developers who'd rather ship than decode a marketing suite.

Transparent Overage

Past your allowance, it's a flat $1.20 per extra 1,000 emails. No mandatory tier hops, no month-end bill shock.

Full Data Control

Contacts, events, and analytics are yours to pull at any moment through the API or dashboard — lock-in isn't part of the deal.

Unlimited Contacts

List growth is free. Where Brevo's price climbs alongside your contact count, Bitelio only ever charges for the emails you send.

Email-Focused

One job, done well: email. No SMS module, no chat widget, no CRM sprawl — just focused, dependable email automation.
