Brevo versus Sendinblue: what the rebrand actually changed
A clear explanation of the Sendinblue-to-Brevo rebrand, addressing what genuinely changed about the product versus what was simply a name change.
Fibvo editorial · · 4 min read
Sendinblue rebranded to Brevo in 2023, and businesses researching the tool sometimes still encounter older content referring to Sendinblue, making it worth clarifying exactly what changed and what stayed the same.
What genuinely changed with the rebrand
The name change accompanied a genuine broadening of platform scope into SMS, chat and lightweight CRM functionality.
Positioning shifted from an email-marketing-focused tool toward a broader marketing and sales platform.
Continued investment in the core email and automation functionality that existed under the Sendinblue name.
The rebrand was not a cosmetic name change layered onto an unchanged product — it reflected genuine platform expansion, meaning any comparison or review referencing 'Sendinblue' from before 2023 may understate the current Brevo platform's actual scope.
What stayed consistent through the transition
Core account data, campaign history and the fundamental email sending infrastructure carried over consistently through the rebrand, meaning existing Sendinblue customers experienced continuity rather than disruption.
Frequently asked questions
Do older Sendinblue reviews still apply to Brevo today?
The core email functionality assessment generally still applies, but expect additional scope (SMS, CRM-lite) not covered in pre-rebrand reviews.
Did pricing change significantly with the rebrand?
Pricing has evolved over time, as it does for most platforms, though this reflects normal product evolution more than a direct consequence of the rebrand itself.

The takeaway
Treat Brevo as Sendinblue's genuine evolution, not a different product under a new name — the rebrand accompanied real platform expansion, so any older Sendinblue-specific reviews or comparisons should be read with that expanded scope in mind.
