Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a capable email and SMS marketing platform. Shopolo includes email campaigns where the customer list builds itself from every booking, order, gift card, and loyalty sign-up — alongside gift cards, loyalty, and ordering in one flat monthly plan.

Brevo sends emails well. But your customer list lives somewhere else — your POS, your booking system, your loyalty app — and you have to keep them all in sync. Shopolo's email campaigns draw from the same list that grows automatically every time a customer orders, books, buys a gift card, or joins your loyalty program. No import, no sync, no gaps.
Brevo's free tier is genuinely useful for getting started with email marketing. But you still need separate tools for every other customer touchpoint — gift cards, loyalty stamps, bookings, and ordering. Each comes with its own monthly fee. Shopolo covers all of these in one plan, with email included, for less than the cost of most email platforms alone.
The Brevo free tier looks attractive, but when your contacts exceed the limit you're paying $25–$65+/month for email alone, on top of whatever you're using for bookings, loyalty, and gift cards. The real cost isn't the email platform — it's managing five separate tools. Shopolo replaces that stack with one integrated platform.
Brevo is a good choice if email (and optionally SMS) is your primary marketing channel and you're already managing bookings and loyalty in other established tools. Its transactional email API is especially strong for developers building custom flows. For small businesses that want everything — email, loyalty, gift cards, booking, ordering — in one place without managing integrations, Shopolo is the simpler and more cost-effective path.
No hardware. No setup fees. Gift cards, loyalty, ordering, and bookings — live in under 10 minutes.
