Geniziz vs Brevo: the Brevo alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good Brevo alternative? Yes. Geniziz covers the same core workflow — pipeline, shared inbox, calling, sequences, reporting and AI — with three differences: unlimited users (you pay by contacts, not seats), every feature on every plan, and bring-your-own-keys so AI, email and calling bill at provider cost.

What Brevo costs, and what the same team costs here
Brevo bills like this: Monthly email-send volume tiers × plan edition (Starter/Standard/Professional/Enterprise); seats limited and separately priced on Standard.
The tiering is the part that bites: Marketing automation, A/B testing, advanced reporting and landing pages need Standard+; only 1 seat on Free/Starter — extra seats on Standard cost about $12/mo/user (up to 10 total); Professional bundles 10 seats and adds phone support, contact scoring and ecommerce tools.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
A working sales team, plus the ops and leadership people who only need to look.
Add success and marketing. On Geniziz the bill does not move. That is about 2.9× the Geniziz price.
The whole revenue floor — sales, success, ops, leadership — on one flat price.
Brevo's primary pricing axis is monthly email-send volume, not seats or contacts, so contact-based framing is approximate. Standard plan seats cost about $12/mo each beyond the first; a 10-person team on the lowest Standard volume tier is roughly $18 + 9x$12 = $126/mo (assumed ~5,000 contacts / lowest send tier). Standard tops out around 10 total seats, so 25- and 50-person teams need Professional (10 seats included, $499/mo base) — extra-seat pricing above 10 on Professional wasn't confirmed from a primary source, so $499/mo is a floor, not the real cost for those team sizes. Geniziz price depends only on your total contacts, never on headcount. Figures checked 2026-09-13.

Migrating from Brevo to Geniziz
CSV export of contacts; object model is Contacts/Lists/Campaigns, with a separate Sales/CRM module (deals, companies) bundled at Professional+.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.
