Pros & Cons
Brevo
Pros
- The free plan sends 300 emails a day and allows up to 100,000 contacts, which is generous for testing the product or for very small lists.
- Pricing is based mainly on how many emails you send, so businesses with large lists that email rarely can keep costs low.
- Transactional email through an API and SMTP, outbound webhooks and a Zapier connector are included on every plan, including Free.
- Email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, live chat and a sales CRM are available from one vendor.
Cons
- On Starter and Standard, the lowest send tiers cap contacts at 500 to 2,500, which can force earlier upgrades.
- Pop-ups, contact scoring, WhatsApp, inbound webhooks and phone support all require Professional, which starts at $499 a month.
- Many reviewers on Capterra and Trustpilot report sudden account suspensions with unclear reasons and slow reinstatement.
- SMS and WhatsApp are billed as prepaid credits on top of the plan price, and the CRM is a separate purchase.
SlickText
Pros
- No feature gating: every plan, including the $29 tier, gets workflows, integrations and A/B testing.
- Unlimited contacts, free incoming texts and rollover credits mean you pay only for outbound volume.
- Live phone, chat and email support is included on all plans, and reviewers often praise how quickly it responds.
- Rated about 4.8 out of 5 on G2 and Capterra across well over a thousand reviews, with ease of use praised most.
- Shopify integration supports abandoned cart, browse and win-back workflows plus checkout opt-ins.
Cons
- SMS only, with no native email campaign builder, so a separate email tool is needed.
- On G2, price and message delivery problems are among the most common complaints.
- Competitors describe its reporting as limited, and say it lacks conversational AI and features for regulated industries.
- Costs scale directly with message volume, and an MMS message uses 3 credits.
- The newer Shopify app listing has a single 1-star review complaining about contact sync and refunds.
