Overview
Mailmodo and Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) offer different value propositions for email marketing. Mailmodo focuses on AMP technology for interactive emails. Brevo emphasizes affordability with multichannel capabilities. See our Brevo comparison for more context.
The core question: Innovation or value?
AMP vs Standard Email
Mailmodo's AMP emails allow interactive elements inside the email - forms, surveys, quizzes, calendars. Recipients can take action without leaving their inbox. This genuinely reduces friction.
Brevo uses standard HTML email. Everything interactive requires clicking through to a landing page. It's the traditional approach that works everywhere.
The Compatibility Trade-off
Mailmodo's AMP features only work in Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Outlook, Apple Mail, and other clients receive a fallback HTML version. Your list splits into two experiences.
Brevo emails work identically in every email client. There's no split experience or fallback concern. For B2B audiences with heavy Outlook use, this consistency matters.
Pricing Comparison
Brevo costs roughly one-third of Mailmodo at 10k contacts ($25 vs $78). Brevo also allows unlimited contacts with per-email pricing, while Mailmodo charges per subscriber.
For large lists with moderate sending, Brevo's pricing model can be dramatically cheaper. The question is whether Mailmodo's AMP features justify the premium.
Multichannel Capabilities
Brevo includes SMS, WhatsApp, and live chat natively. You can build cross-channel automations from one platform.
Mailmodo focuses exclusively on email. If you need multichannel marketing, you'll need additional tools with Mailmodo.
When Each Platform Shines
Choose Mailmodo when: Your audience is Gmail-heavy. In-email forms or surveys are central to your strategy. Higher engagement justifies higher cost.
Choose Brevo when: Budget matters. You need SMS and WhatsApp. Your audience uses diverse email clients. You want multichannel in one platform.
For SaaS Companies
Neither platform is built for SaaS. Mailmodo's AMP features could work for feedback collection but don't address subscription management. Brevo is affordable but lacks SaaS-specific triggers.
For Stripe integration and subscription-aware automation, consider Sequenzy. It sits between both on price ($49) while offering what SaaS companies actually need.
