The full guide
Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.
Short answer: Alori is a Brevo alternative for small software companies and agencies that want their newsletters, their CRM and their customer conversations in one app. Campaigns go to lists that update themselves from your tags, fields, deals and product activity, and every reply, call and invoice sits on the same customer. Every plan has unlimited users, and you bring your contacts by pasting a CSV.
Why teams leave Brevo
Brevo (once Sendinblue) is a broad marketing platform with email, SMS and WhatsApp. Small teams leave it for these reasons:
- Marketing automation starts on Standard, removing the Brevo logo is an add-on on Starter, and multi-user access with 10 seats is listed on Professional.
- SMS is bought separately, priced by volume and country.
- If your deals, product data and conversations live elsewhere, segments have to be synced or rebuilt by hand.
What you pay
Brevo, as listed on its pricing page in November 2026, billed monthly:
| Team of 5 | Brevo | Alori |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Up to 300 emails a day | Free plan, no card |
| Starter $9 a month and Standard $18 a month, from 5,000 emails a month | Each campaign email uses credits | |
| Team access | 10 seats listed on Professional, $499 a month | Unlimited users on every plan |
| SMS | Bought separately, by volume and country | Texts are one to one, from your business number |
See pricing: Solo from $99 a month, Business from $249, with the CRM, chat and invoices.
What Alori replaces
- Email campaigns: write it yourself, ask Alori to write it, or paste your own HTML. Add personal fields, a button and an English and a French version, try a second subject on a small group first, send a test to yourself, then send now or schedule.
- Lists that keep themselves up to date, by tags, by fields on customers, companies, contacts or deals, by active, past or prospect customers, by language, or by what people did on your website or in your app.
- Results per person: who opened, who clicked which link and who unsubscribed. Make a list of them, or resend to people who didn't open.
- Your domain and the law: send from your own domain. Every email ends with your address and an Unsubscribe link, and unsubscribes, bounces and spam reports are left out after.
- Automations: when a customer gets a tag, a deal changes stage or an invoice is paid, email or text that customer, wait, add a task or post in Slack. You set them up in plain words.
- A CRM with deals and Conversations: email, texts, calls, website chat, Messenger and Instagram in one thread per customer.
- Website chat with an AI bot that answers first and hands off to your team.
What Alori doesn't do yet
SMS and WhatsApp campaigns, a drag-and-drop email builder, email journeys that send a series on their own (each Alori campaign is sent once), signup pop-ups and transactional email for your own product's receipts and password resets. If you send by SMS and WhatsApp at volume, stay on Brevo.
How to switch
- Start free. Describe your business. Alori builds your app with customers, deals and email campaigns.
- Bring your contacts. Export your contacts from Brevo as a CSV, leave out anyone who unsubscribed or is blocklisted, and paste the rest into Ask Sam with "Add these customers:". Alori adds them, with an Undo button.
- Turn your Brevo lists into lists that update themselves. Ask Sam to tag people by list, then make lists by tags or fields.
- Send your first campaign. Add your mailing address the first time, send yourself a test, then send or schedule it.
Questions
Another question? Ask it when you start.
Yes, for software companies and agencies that send newsletters to their own customers and want the list, the deals and the conversations in one app, with the whole team included. For SMS and WhatsApp campaigns at volume, Brevo fits better.
For email alone, Brevo's Starter plan is cheap. Alori can cost less once you count what it replaces: the CRM, website chat, phone and invoices, with unlimited users, from $99 a month on Solo, or free to start.
Yes. Sendinblue is Brevo's former name. The same answers apply.
Your contacts, by pasting your CSV export into Ask Sam. Lists become tags and lists that update themselves. Automations, templates and past reports stay in Brevo.
Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people. See also the Mailchimp alternative.
