Each with a clear winner.

Area 01 · Email marketing

Tie

Email marketing: both are solid

Brevo built its name on affordable email, and it shows. HexaFloww covers the same everyday needs, so for most SMBs email alone won’t decide it.

  • A/B tests on content or send time, with automatic winner
  • Smart Send at each contact’s usual opening hour
  • Dynamic segments on fields, opens and clicks
  • Your own SMTP or AWS SES sender

Brevo

  • Free plan with 300 emails a day
  • Starter from 5,000 emails a month
  • A/B tests and AI send time optimisation on Standard
  • Landing pages and web event tracking on Standard

Verdict: A tie for everyday email; Brevo’s free and entry plans are hard to beat on price for email alone.

HexaFloww

Automations: email + WhatsApp at an SMB price

  • Conditions on email opens and WhatsApp delivered, read or replied
  • Triggers for sign-ups, inactivity, opt-ins and Shopify cart or order events

Brevo

  • Unlimited multi-step workflows on Standard
  • Web and custom-event triggers
  • WhatsApp, push and popups in workflows on Professional
“Email the festive sale to everyone, then WhatsApp the people who didn’t open it within two days.”

Verdict: HexaFloww wins for email + WhatsApp journeys without a premium plan.
