Pick by budget and channel

- Mailchimp — pick it if you want a familiar platform with nonprofit discounts.
- Brevo — pick it if you want email plus SMS priced by sends rather than list size.
- Benchmark Email — pick it if you want simple email with a free plan to start.
- Sender — pick it if you want email and SMS as cheaply as possible.
MailerLite is the best all-round value for most nonprofits; choose Brevo or Sender if you want to text supporters too, and Mailchimp if the nonprofit discount tips the balance.
