Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Brevo
Email, SMS and automation on one free plan
Brevo, formerly Sendinblue, prices by messages sent rather than by contacts stored, which is the cheaper shape for anybody with a big list they mail rarely. Email, SMS and WhatsApp sit in one place. The editor and templates are plainer than the newsletter-first tools.
Our note
This is the one to pick when the list is big and quiet. If you mail weekly, the send-based pricing stops being a saving and a newsletter-first tool will serve the writing better.

- Works with WhatsApp
Mailjet
Send-based email pricing with a real free tier
Mailjet meters emails sent rather than contacts held, and its free tier carries six thousand a month, which is enough to run a small list indefinitely. Marketing campaigns and transactional sending share one account and one sending reputation. Contacts are uncapped on every plan including the free one, so a large dormant list costs nothing. Editing is collaborative, which is unusual here and is the reason teams pick it over a cheaper single-seat tool.
