How each tool fits nonprofits

Brevo

Full review →
Best for
Nonprofits with large contact lists but lower sending frequency, since Brevo charges by emails sent rather than contacts stored, and includes a free plan with unlimited contacts.
Not ideal for
Nonprofits that need marketing automation on a budget, as that feature is locked to the Business plan, which has no publicly listed price.

MailerLite

Full review →
Best for
Very small nonprofits or those just starting out, since the free plan supports up to 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails per month at no cost.
Not ideal for
Nonprofits with growing lists beyond 250 subscribers who want to stay on a free tier, as paid plans start at $12 per month and the free plan does not scale contact limits.

GetResponse

Full review →
Best for
Nonprofits that want unlimited monthly sends alongside automation workflows, as the Starter plan at $19 per month includes both for up to 1,000 contacts.
Not ideal for
Nonprofits on very limited budgets seeking a fully functional free tier, as the free plan is restricted and only becomes available after a 14-day premium trial.
