Brevo — Pros & Cons

Pricing by emails sent, not contacts

Solid automation builder

Cons

300/day cap on free tier
UI less polished than Mailchimp
Not real-estate-specific

Flodesk — Pros & Cons

Pros

Patented layout engine produces professional-looking emails with zero graphic design skills — no separate Canva step required
Flat-rate pricing means costs do not spike when your contact list grows past a subscriber-count tier
Link-action segmentation triggers automations automatically, cutting open-house and listing-presentation drip setup to minutes
Opt-in forms and landing pages are included at every paid tier — no add-on fee for lead capture pages

Cons

No native A/B testing — split-testing subject lines or send times requires a third-party workaround
CRM integration relies entirely on Zapier; there is no direct connector to Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, or other real estate CRMs
Analytics are thin — no click maps, deliverability breakdowns, or per-campaign revenue attribution compared to ActiveCampaign or Mailchimp
Platform skews heavily e-commerce (checkout, digital products, memberships), adding feature surface that is dead weight for most agents
