AcelleMail vs Brevo

AcelleMail vs Brevo — self-hosted email marketing vs cloud multi-channel SaaS

Side-by-side comparison of AcelleMail (self-hosted PHP application, $80 one-time license, MySQL/MariaDB, plugin SDK, multi-tenant SaaS layer) and Brevo, formerly Sendinblue (Paris-based cloud SaaS founded 2012, multi-channel: Email + Transactional + SMS + WhatsApp + Chat + CRM, REST API + SMTP relay, send-volume-based pricing). Pricing model, sending stack, automation, migration steps.

一目で見る AcelleMail Brevo
License model Commercial license — $80 Regular / $199 Extended on CodeCanyon. Full PHP source included; one-time payment with lifetime point + minor updates. Cloud SaaS subscription. Free tier available; paid Marketing Platform tiers billed monthly per published Free / Starter / Business / Enterprise structure on brevo.com/pricing/.
Hosting Self-hosted on Linux + PHP 8.1+ + MySQL/MariaDB. Single-tenant or multi-tenant on the same install (Extended). Cloud-only — operated by Brevo from Paris-headquartered infrastructure. No self-hosted distribution.
Stack PHP 8.1+ (Laravel-based), MySQL/MariaDB, optional Redis cache. Brevo-managed cloud. Customer surface: REST API at developers.brevo.com + SMTP relay at smtp-relay.brevo.com.
Channels Email-focused. SMS / WhatsApp / chat / CRM are not in core; integrations exist via the plugin SDK or external services. Multi-channel: email marketing, transactional email, SMS, WhatsApp, chat, CRM, and meetings. All bundled in the Brevo dashboard.
Pricing model One-time license fee. Recurring cost is your VPS + your sending service (SES, SendGrid, etc.). Send-volume based for marketing email (the model brevo.com/pricing/ documents) — paid tiers price by monthly email volume, not contact-list size.
Multi-tenancy / SaaS Extended License ($199) ships a multi-tenant layer — customer accounts, plans, 6 payment gateways, dunning, white-label. Single-account product per Brevo subscription. Reselling Brevo to end customers is not a packaged feature in core.
Plugin SDK 4-pattern Hook system (REGISTRY, EVENT, FILTER, BEHAVIOR). Plugins live under storage/app/plugins/. See Plugin SDK. Extension via the public REST API and webhook subscriptions. No in-process plugin runtime in the cloud platform.

総所有コスト

3 つの現実的シナリオでの 3 年間のコスト

Brevo is a cloud subscription billed monthly on send volume per its published Free / Starter / Business / Enterprise tiers; AcelleMail is a one-time license you self-host on a VPS plus a sending service. The dollar values below assume Amazon SES at $0.10 per 1,000 emails for the AcelleMail rows. Specific Brevo tier prices change — consult brevo.com/pricing for current values.

Small business — 1,000 contacts, 4× sends/month

Brevo — Brevo Free or entry-tier paid plan Brevo Free tier covers a published daily-send cap. 4,000 monthly sends across 1,000 contacts may fit Free or require an entry paid tier — verify against current brevo.com/pricing thresholds.
Recurring monthly subscription if above Free; check current paid-tier cost.
AcelleMail — AcelleMail Regular License + small VPS + Amazon SES $5/mo VPS + $0.40/mo SES (4,000 sends × $0.0001)
$80 license + $180 VPS + $14 SES = $268 total

At 1,000 contacts and 4 sends/month, both models are inexpensive. AcelleMail one-time cost is ~$268 over 3 years; Brevo at this volume may fit Free. Compare against your current Brevo invoice on the published tier.

Growing newsletter — 10,000 contacts, 80,000 sends/month

Brevo — Brevo Business or higher tier covering 80K monthly sends Brevo paid tier billed monthly per the published send-volume tier covering 80K monthly sends. Marketing automation is included on the Business tier per brevo.com/pricing.
Recurring monthly subscription × 36 months — verify against current pricing.
AcelleMail — AcelleMail Regular License + $10 VPS + Amazon SES $10/mo VPS + $8/mo SES (80,000 × $0.0001)
$80 license + $360 VPS + $288 SES = $722 total

At 10K contacts and 80K monthly sends, AcelleMail self-hosted on SES converges to roughly $20/month after the license is amortized. The cost gap depends on the Brevo tier covering this volume.

Agency / SaaS — 50,000 contacts, 400,000 sends/month, 50 client tenants

Brevo — Brevo + custom multi-tenant integration layer Brevo is a single-account product per subscription; agencies typically operate 50 separate Brevo accounts or a custom routing layer over a single Brevo subscription.
50 accounts × subscription, OR aggregate Brevo Business/Enterprise + custom tenant build.
AcelleMail — AcelleMail Extended License + $20 VPS + Amazon SES (multi-tenant on a single instance) $20/mo VPS + $40/mo SES (400,000 × $0.0001) — covers all 50 tenants on one install.
$199 license + $720 VPS + $1,440 SES = $2,359 total

AcelleMail Extended ships a multi-tenant SaaS layer (customer accounts, plans, 6 payment gateways, dunning) bundled. Brevo handles the cloud infrastructure but does not bundle reseller-billing primitives.

移行プレイブック

Brevo → AcelleMail、7 ステップで

ほとんどのチームは 1 週間以内に切り替えを完了します。技術的セットアップは半日で済みます。時間を要するステップは、多段階の自動化とテンプレートの再構築です。

  1. 1. Export from Brevo

    In the Brevo dashboard, export contacts as CSV from Contacts → Lists → Export. For programmatic export, the Contacts API at GET /contacts returns paginated records with attributes and list memberships. Campaign HTML can be retrieved per-campaign via GET /emailCampaigns/{id}. Marketing automation flows are documented in the Brevo dashboard; rebuild logic from those screenshots in AcelleMail Automation2.
  2. 2. Get AcelleMail

    Buy the Regular License — $80 on CodeCanyon. Download the ZIP, upload to your server, run the web installer (5 minutes — sets DB, admin user, cron). PHP 8.1+, MySQL ≥ 5.7 or MariaDB ≥ 10.3, ~512 MB RAM minimum. The installation guide walks through cPanel, DigitalOcean, AWS, and Docker.
  3. 3. Configure your sending service

    In Sending Servers → Add, pick Amazon SES (recommended — cheapest), SendGrid, Mailgun, SparkPost, Postmark, Elastic Email, or any SMTP. If you want to keep Brevo as the sender, configure the Generic SMTP driver pointing at smtp-relay.brevo.com with your Brevo SMTP key. Paste the API key, run the test-send, confirm. The 8 built-in drivers live in app/SendingServers/Drivers/Vendors/.
  4. 4. Import contacts + attributes

    In Lists → Create List, recreate your Brevo lists with their attribute schema (Brevo contact attributes map to AcelleMail subscriber custom fields one-to-one). Use Import → Upload CSV and map columns. For lists over 100K, use the chunked import or seed via the REST API.
  5. 5. Recreate templates and campaigns

    For Templates, paste your Brevo HTML into AcelleMail's template editor. Substitution syntax differs: Brevo Templates use {{ contact.FIRSTNAME }}; AcelleMail uses {{ subscriber.first_name }}. Subscriber-attribute access is equivalent. For automation flows, use Automation → New Workflow — Brevo flows expressed in its visual builder rebuild as AcelleMail visual journeys.
  6. 6. Configure tracking + DKIM

    AcelleMail tracking is enabled by default per campaign (open pixel + link wrapping). DKIM signing is configured at the Sending Server level — paste the DNS records AcelleMail generates into your domain. If you continue using Brevo as the upstream sender via SMTP relay, the existing Brevo DKIM/SPF records keep working unchanged.
  7. 7. Test deliverability + cut over

    Send a test campaign to GlockApps or Mail-Tester (free). Aim for 9.5/10. Run the next live campaign from AcelleMail in parallel for one cycle, watch open/click rates against your prior baseline, then turn off Brevo Marketing Platform. Most teams cut over inside a week. Brevo SMTP relay can stay if you want — AcelleMail uses Generic SMTP with your Brevo credentials.
運用適合性

セルフホストが適していない場合

セルフホスト型メールマーケティングはトレードオフです:低コストと完全な所有権の引き換えに、運用責任を負います。以下のような状況では、マネージド SaaS の方が適しているかもしれません。

  • You need SMS, WhatsApp, chat, and CRM in one dashboard

    AcelleMail core is email-focused. SMS and WhatsApp campaigns, the live-chat widget, and the CRM module are not in core — they would be custom plugin work or external integrations. Teams that need a unified marketing-and-sales dashboard with email + SMS + WhatsApp + chat + CRM in one product may find Brevo's bundle a better fit out of the box, accepting the recurring subscription cost.

  • You don't want to operate any server infrastructure

    AcelleMail is a self-hosted PHP application — you provision a VPS, install PHP-FPM + a web server, point a domain, and maintain backups. Teams that prefer a fully managed cloud service with no servers to operate may pick Brevo and accept the recurring subscription cost. The tradeoff is between recurring SaaS spend and one-time license + ops responsibility.

  • You require a managed cloud sender with bundled IP reputation

    Brevo manages IP reputation and sending infrastructure for the cloud service. AcelleMail self-hosted relies on the underlying sending service (SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.) for IP reputation; the application layer doesn't replace the deliverability work that a managed cloud provider does on shared/dedicated IP pools.

  • Your buyer expects EU data residency by default

    Brevo is headquartered in Paris and operates EU data infrastructure per its published terms. Teams whose buyer expects EU-only data residency by default and who don't want to operate the underlying infrastructure may find Brevo a closer policy fit. AcelleMail self-hosted lets you choose the exact data residency by picking the VPS region — but the operational responsibility is yours.

コスト数値は、検証済みのエントリーティア価格と、該当する場合は計算機で見積もったレンジを組み合わせています。数値を比較してください。最適な選択は、上述の運用トレードオフに対するチームの体力に依存します。

  • SaaS team — product newsletter + transactional

    状況: 8,000 trial signups + 2,000 paid customers, weekly product newsletter (~10,000 sends/week), 4-step onboarding drip, transactional sends for billing + receipts.

    Brevo のコスト: Brevo Marketing Platform paid tier covering 40K+ monthly sends + transactional volume. Billed monthly; consult brevo.com/pricing for the tier and current price.

    AcelleMail のコスト: $80 once + $10/mo VPS + ~$5/mo SES (50K total sends × $0.0001). Or keep Brevo SMTP relay and pay Brevo only for the sending volume; the marketing platform layer becomes free after the one-time license.

  • Marketing agency — 50 client lists

    状況: Email service for 50 small-business clients, average 2,000 subscribers each, monthly newsletter + occasional promo.

    Brevo のコスト: Brevo: 50 separate accounts (~50× subscription) OR a single aggregate Business/Enterprise plan + custom tenant routing. Reseller-billing primitives are not bundled.

    AcelleMail のコスト: $199 Extended License once + $40/mo VPS + ~$30/mo SES total across all clients on one install. Built-in SaaS layer: per-client login, plans, dunning, 6 payment gateways.

  • Indie newsletter — 5,000 subscribers

    状況: Weekly newsletter (~20K sends/month), no automation flows, no SMS or WhatsApp.

    Brevo のコスト: Brevo paid tier covering 20K+ monthly sends, billed monthly per the published send-volume tier.

    AcelleMail のコスト: $80 license + $5/mo VPS + ~$2/mo SES (20K × $0.0001). License recovers ~12-24 months of equivalent paid SaaS subscription if previously paying for hosted email.

率直な対抗ポジショニング — 切り替えに対するよくある反論

Brevo またはあらゆる SaaS から移行する前に、すべての運用者が検討する 4 つの反論。誇張なしに回答します — これらは現実的なトレードオフであり、最適な選択はチームに依存します。

1.「切り替えのコストは節約額を上回る。」

率直な評価:約 500 連絡先未満のリストでは、Brevo の無料またはエントリーティアの方が、月額 5〜10 ドルの VPS と AcelleMail ライセンスを運用するよりも安い可能性があります — 運用者の時間を勘定に入れる前ですら。損益分岐点は通常 1,000〜5,000 連絡先の間に位置します。判断前にコスト計算機で独自の数値を試算してください。

2.「セルフホストでは到達性が低下する。」

ウォームアップなしに自己管理 MTA を運用する場合は事実です。AcelleMail がマネージド送信サービス(Amazon SES、SendGrid、Mailgun、Postmark)経由で転送する場合は事実ではありません — これらのベンダーが IP レピュテーションを維持し、AcelleMail はキャンペーンとトラッキングを統制するだけです。この構成では Brevo との受信箱配置パリティに到達するのは例外ではなく標準です。

3.「うちのチームに別のツールを学ぶ時間はない。」

もっともな懸念です。AcelleMail の UI は共通のパターン(キャンペーンビルダー、オーディエンスリスト、自動化フロー)を反映しているため、ほとんどの Brevo ユーザーは初日から生産的です。実際の時間消費は多段階の自動化とテンプレートライブラリの再構築です — 数週間ではなく複雑さに応じて 1〜5 日を見込んでください。

4.「AcelleMail がメンテナンスされなくなったらどうする?」

セルフホストはリスクを逆転させます:お客様はソースの永久コピーを所有します。ベンダーの料金変更、廃止、買収によりプラットフォームが取り上げられることはありません。アップデートが停止しても、既存のインストールは稼働を続けます。料金、機能、シャットダウンに関するベンダーの決定が一方的な SaaS と比較してください。

よくある質問

よくある質問

Brevo(旧 Sendinblue)からAcelleMailへ、購読者データを失わずに移行できますか?
はい。Brevo は Contacts → Lists → Export から CSV でコンタクトをエクスポートでき、Contacts API の GET /contacts はページネーション付き JSON でプログラム的な完全エクスポートを返します。AcelleMailのインポートはカスタムフィールドマッピング付きの CSV を受け付け、非常に大きなリスト向けには XLSX または直接 DB シードにも対応します。Brevo のコンタクト属性はAcelleMailの購読者カスタムフィールドへ 1 対 1 でマッピングできます。5,000 コンタクト未満のリストは半日、広範な自動化ロジックを再構築する場合は 2〜3 日を見込んでください。
AcelleMailに切り替えた後も Brevo を配信エンジンとして使い続けられますか?
はい — Brevo は smtp-relay.brevo.com で SMTP リレーを提供しており、AcelleMailの Generic SMTP ドライバーから到達可能です。Sending Servers → Add → Generic SMTP から Brevo の SMTP キーを使って設定します。これによりAcelleMailがマーケティングプラットフォーム層(リスト、キャンペーン、自動化)を担い、Brevo が引き続き実際の SMTP 配信とレピュテーション管理を担当します。
AcelleMailの自動化は Brevo のマーケティングオートメーションと比べてどうですか?
AcelleMail Automation2 は trigger / wait / condition / send / tag-update / segment-move ノードを備えたビジュアルワークフロービルダーを搭載しており、複数ステップのジャーニーをコードなしで UI から設定できます。Brevo は有料の Marketing Platform 階層に同様のビジュアルフロービルダーを含むマーケティングオートメーションを提供します。どちらも複数ステップのジャーニーをサポートしており、プラットフォーム選定の違いは、マーケティング層をセルフホスト(AcelleMail)にしたいか、完全マネージドのマルチチャネル(Brevo)にしたいかです。
Brevo が Free 階層を提供しているのに、なぜAcelleMailは $80 を請求するのですか?
AcelleMail Regular License($80 買い切り)は、生涯のポイント + マイナーアップデート、6 か月のサポート、完全な PHP ソースコードを含む商用ライセンスであり、メールあたり・コンタクトあたりの定期費用はありません。Brevo は公開された日次送信上限のある Free 階層を提供し、その上限を超えると有料階層が送信量に応じて月額課金します。$80 でカバーされるのは別のバンドル — ビジュアル自動化、プラグイン SDK、8 種の配信ドライバー、多言語 UI、そしてマルチテナント SaaS 層($199)への Extended パスです。
AcelleMailには Brevo のような SMS と WhatsApp 機能が含まれますか?
AcelleMailのコアはメール特化です。SMS と WhatsApp のキャンペーンはコアにはバンドルされていないため、プラグイン SDK(配信チャネル追加用の REGISTRY パターン)または Twilio のような外部サービス経由で統合します。Brevo は同じダッシュボード内で SMS と WhatsApp を課金チャネルとしてバンドルしています。マルチチャネルマーケティングを 1 製品で完結させたいチームには Brevo の方が近いかもしれません。メールプラットフォームの統制を保ちつつ SMS / WhatsApp を別チャネルで運用したいチームは、AcelleMail + 専用 SMS プロバイダーの組み合わせを好む可能性があります。
1 つのAcelleMailインストールで複数のクライアントアカウントを運用できますか?
はい — それがAcelleMail Extended License($199)の役割です。顧客アカウント、サブスクリプションプラン、6 種の決済ゲートウェイ(Stripe、PayPal、Braintree、Razorpay、Paystack、Offline)、日割りアップグレード、督促、ホワイトラベルブランディングを備えたマルチテナント層をバンドルしています。Brevo はサブスクリプションあたり 1 アカウントの製品です。アーキテクチャの詳細は For Agencies ページをご覧ください。
AcelleMailと Brevo では必要なスタックはどう違いますか?
AcelleMail: PHP 8.1+、MySQL ≥ 5.7 または MariaDB ≥ 10.3、最小 ~512 MB RAM、~50K までのリストには 1 GB 推奨。nginx または Apache の背後で PHP-FPM 上で動作します。Brevo は Brevo がマネージするクラウドサービスのため、顧客側でホストするスタックはありません。顧客側のサーフェスは developers.brevo.com の REST API または smtp-relay.brevo.com の SMTP リレーです。
AcelleMailにはプラグイン SDK がありますか?
はい。AcelleMailは 4 パターンの Hook システム(REGISTRY、EVENT、FILTER、BEHAVIOR)を搭載しています — プラグインは storage/app/plugins/ 配下に配置し、配信ドライバー、決済ゲートウェイ、UI パネル、ライフサイクルフックを登録できます。4 つのパターンと実装例(Postal MTA、Paddle ゲートウェイ、AI プラグイン)は プラグイン SDK ドキュメントを参照してください。Brevo の拡張は公開 REST API + Webhook 経由で行い、インプロセスのプラグインランタイムはありません。
AcelleMailと Brevo ではデータはどこに置かれますか?
AcelleMailのデータは、ご自身でプロビジョニングした VPS のデータベース上に存在します。VPS のリージョンを選ぶことでデータレジデンシーを選択できます。Brevo は公開条項に従い Brevo(パリ本社)が Brevo のクラウドインフラ上で運用します。厳格な EU レジデンシー要件のあるチームは適合と見なすことが多いです。コスト面の違いは運用面にあります — AcelleMailのレジデンシー選択に追加費用はかかりませんがホストの運用が必要で、Brevo のレジデンシーはサブスクリプションにバンドルされます。
