Quick answer

Brevo
Brevo gives small businesses email, SMS, WhatsApp, automation and a basic CRM in one platform, with a free plan that stores up to 100,000 contacts and sends 300 emails a day. Pricing is driven by email volume, which can be cheaper than contact-based tools. Check the contact limits on low-volume paid tiers before you commit.
