The quick answer
For a typical small business with 1,000–5,000 customers, KiwiTri Mailing costs roughly 60–80% less than Mailchimp or Klaviyo, while still giving you a drag-and-drop builder, signup forms, automations, A/B subject tests and reports.

- Brevo — priced by emails sent rather than contacts, so it can be cheap for large lists that you email rarely.

Which one should you choose?
- Running a shop, café, clinic or local service? KiwiTri Mailing — simple, affordable, with local support.
