Hi! We have chosen Brevo because it does not has a limit about contacts (in the free plan). We knew before that we will not send too many emails at a time, but we do have many contacts to manage. Bottom line now we reached **Free** limit tear of the 2000 contacts Automation limit and we are willing to pay Brevo. However because of the 10k contacts we can not go with **Starter** plan since this has as well the 2000 automation limit, but we have to choose **Business**. Not the cheapest but something ridiculous pricey because number of contacts The ideal plan for us would be to unlock Automation, and we are ok with sending 300 emails per day (the Free tier) option. I would expect to start with Starter plan somehow but is imposible. Consider we are pre-revenue, I find it strange to be forced to switch from **Free** to **Business**. Is there an option or we search other marketing solutions? ---

Hi @daniel, right now, our Free and Starter plans have a limit of 2000 contacts on automations for the lifetime of the plan. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have an add-on specifically for automation. I will, of course, pass your comments on to our product team for review. I remain available if you have any further questions. ---

I think compared to other ESPs you’re still getting a very affordable deal. Just check how much ActiveCampaign or GetResponse would charge you for this, and you’ll be glad to use Brevo Business 😅
