Comparison

tinysend vs Brevo

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a full-featured marketing suite — but that means complexity, seat limits, and no developer-native workflows. tinysend is API-first, BYOK-enabled, and usage-based from day one.

Why teams switch to tinysend

Bring Your Own Key

tinysend lets you use your own SES, Postmark, or Mailgun. Brevo routes everything through their own infrastructure — no flexibility, no cost control at scale.

API-first vs marketing suite

Brevo is designed for marketers with a visual drag-and-drop interface. tinysend is designed for developers — sequences as code, CLI deployment, full REST API.

Comparable price, better fit

Brevo charges $59/month for similar volume. tinysend is $52.50 — and you don't pay for features you never use like CRM, SMS, or chat tools.
