Brevo Starter / Standard: official volume-based monthly pricing (e.g. 30k emails/mo → Starter $39, Standard $79). Above 100k/mo Starter is unavailable, so Standard is used.
Mailchimp Standard is contact-based: we assume contacts = monthly emails ÷ 4 (four sends per contact per month), then take the nearest Standard bracket (500:$20, 1.5k:$45, 2.5k:$60, 5k:$100, 10k:$135, 15k:$230, 25k:$310, 50k:$450, 100k:$800).
BuddyMail tier by daily volume (monthly ÷ 30): ≤3k/day → $39 · ≤30k/day → $99 · ≤50k/day → $219 · ≤100k/day → $399, plus $15 one-time install. Above 100k/day needs a custom multi-server setup — talk to us.
BuddyMail runs on your own server and domain (not included above — you bring them, we provide specs and recommended purchase links).
Subscription totals assume list prices held flat for 5 years (no increases, no discounts) — in reality ESP prices tend to rise as your list grows.
