Brevo Locks WhatsApp Behind Professional Plans

Brevo uses a usage-based pricing model where they charge platform fees on top of Meta's WhatsApp conversation fees. This means you pay Brevo $31.59 per 1,000 messages PLUS Meta's conversation fees (typically $0.01-0.05 per conversation). With HiMail.ai, you only pay Meta's conversation fees - we don't add platform message fees, making WhatsApp messaging significantly more affordable.

Yes! You can export your contacts from Brevo as CSV and import them into HiMail.ai with custom field mapping. For email templates and automation workflows, you can recreate them in HiMail.ai's visual builders. If you're currently restricted from using WhatsApp on Brevo's lower-tier plans, switching to HiMail.ai immediately unlocks WhatsApp access without requiring a plan upgrade.

No. Brevo's pricing is based on email send volume (5K, 20K, 40K emails per month, etc.), requiring you to upgrade as you send more. HiMail.ai offers unlimited email sends on all plans. Send 5,000 or 500,000 emails per month - your price stays the same at $149/month with unlimited contacts and WhatsApp included.

If you're on Brevo's Free or Starter plan and want WhatsApp, you'd need to upgrade to Professional (typically $100+/month) PLUS pay per-message fees ($31.59/1K messages). For just 5,000 WhatsApp messages, that's $100+ (plan) + $158 (messages) = $258+/month. With HiMail.ai at $149/month, you save $109+/month while getting unlimited email sends, unlimited contacts, and no platform message fees.

Brevo's free plan is limited to 300 emails per day and has no WhatsApp access, no automation workflows, no landing pages, and no A/B testing. While we don't offer a permanent free plan, HiMail.ai provides a free trial so you can test all features including WhatsApp. For businesses serious about email + WhatsApp marketing, the $149/month investment includes everything you need without per-message fees or feature restrictions.

HiMail.ai is an official WhatsApp Business Solution Provider, just like Brevo. We handle the entire WhatsApp Business API setup: Meta verification, phone number connection, and message template approval. The setup process is identical to Brevo's, but the key difference is WhatsApp access is included in your plan from day one, not locked behind Professional/Enterprise tiers with additional per-message fees.

Yes. HiMail.ai uses enterprise-grade email infrastructure with SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, dedicated IPs (on request), real-time bounce handling, and ISP relationship monitoring - the same deliverability best practices as Brevo. We also provide detailed deliverability analytics and sender reputation monitoring to ensure your emails reach inboxes consistently.

Absolutely. HiMail.ai provides a comprehensive RESTful API for email sending, WhatsApp messaging, contact management, and campaign automation. You can integrate our API into your applications just like Brevo's API. We provide SDKs for popular programming languages and detailed API documentation for developers. The advantage: you get both email and WhatsApp API access without tier restrictions or per-message platform fees.
