# All-in-one alternative for Brevo

Cleaner pricing, a leaner API, and contacts without limits. Everything email needs and nothing it doesn't — designed for developers rather than marketing departments.

## Why teams choose Bitelio

### 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.

## FAQ

### What is the difference between Bitelio and Brevo (Sendinblue)?

Bitelio is a developer-focused platform: one clean API, plans priced by emails sent, unlimited contacts everywhere. Brevo is a broad all-in-one marketing suite — more surface area, more complexity, and tiered pricing driven by how many contacts you keep.

### Is Bitelio cheaper than Brevo?

It depends on your usage pattern. Bitelio offers a free plan with 1,000 emails/month, Pro at $19/mo with 15,000 emails included, and Scale at $99/mo with 100,000 — plus a flat $1.20 per extra 1,000 emails. Contacts are unlimited on every plan, which is often more cost-effective for businesses with large contact lists but moderate email volume. Brevo charges based on contact count, which can become expensive as your audience grows.

### Do I keep control of my data with Bitelio?

Yes. Contacts, events, and analytics can be exported anytime through the API or dashboard, with no lock-in of any kind. All processing happens on EU infrastructure under GDPR.

### Is Bitelio easier to use than Brevo?

For a developer, definitely. Bitelio sticks to the email essentials — a clean API and minimal setup — while Brevo bundles SMS, chat, and a CRM, and that breadth brings complexity with it. Want pure email automation? Bitelio keeps things simple. Want a full marketing suite? Brevo may serve you better.

### How easy is it to migrate from Brevo to Bitelio?

Easily. Export your contacts from Brevo, bring them into Bitelio as a CSV, and repoint your application at Bitelio's well-documented API. Most teams are done in under a day.
