Why does it matter for agencies?
Brevo's free plan carries 300 emails/day, up to 100K contacts, and multichannel automation capped at 2,000 contacts, which means an agency can stand up a live client journey before a single invoice clears. Starter at $8.08/mo (annual billing) lifts sends to 100K monthly and contacts to 500K, so the cost of proving a multichannel email plus SMS workflow is near zero against a retainer. The strategic stake is pilot velocity: agencies that can demo working automation in days win the account before competitors finish scoping.
