Brevo (Sendinblue) Alternative for Healthcare & Allied Health

Brevo pricing model is send-based rather than contact-based, which initially appears more affordable. The free tier allows 300 emails per day to unlimited contacts. Starter begins at approximately AUD $38/mo for 20,000 emails per month. Business starts at around AUD $100/mo for 20,000 emails with advanced features like A/B testing, send-time optimisation, and marketing automation. Higher volumes scale accordingly, with 100,000 emails per month on Business costing roughly AUD $200/mo. The send-based model works well for businesses with large lists but low send frequency. However, if you send multiple campaigns per week, the costs add up quickly. SMS is charged separately per message, and the built-in CRM, while included, often pushes businesses toward the higher tiers to access the features they need. Removing Brevo branding requires a paid plan, and advanced reporting is locked behind the Business tier. For mid-market businesses, annual Brevo costs typically range from AUD $1,500 to $5,000 depending on volume and feature requirements. The platform offers reasonable value at this price point, but the limitations in automation depth, CRM capability, and template customisation mean many businesses outgrow it within one to two years. A custom solution costs more initially but removes volume-based constraints and provides the flexibility to build exactly the marketing infrastructure your business needs.

Migrating from Brevo involves exporting contacts, campaign history, and automation configurations. Brevo provides CSV exports for contact lists with all attributes and allows API access to transactional data. If you have been using Brevo CRM features, that data also needs to be extracted and mapped to your target system. Document all active automation workflows, paying attention to the mix of email and SMS triggers. Brevo templates use a proprietary drag-and-drop format that does not export as clean HTML. Plan to rebuild your email templates from scratch, which is straightforward but time-consuming if you have a large template library. If you have been using Brevo transactional email API for order confirmations or password resets, this integration needs to be redirected to your new sending infrastructure with careful testing. A typical Brevo migration takes four to six weeks. The first week covers data audit and export. Weeks two through four handle template rebuilding, automation recreation, and integration rewiring. The final weeks focus on parallel testing, DNS updates, and IP warming if you are moving to dedicated sending infrastructure. If you have been using Brevo SMS features, ensure your new system supports Australian carrier requirements and maintains opt-in compliance throughout the transition.
