DeviDevs Agency does the work for you: we set up the ClevMail platform, write the flows and campaigns and send a monthly report in Romanian. Pick Brevo for DIY, us for the result.
Point-by-point comparison
We compare the service, not just the tool. Where Brevo is the right choice, we say so directly.
| Aspect | Brevo | DeviDevs Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You. Brevo gives you the platform, but setup, writing and optimization are on you. | Us. We set up, write the flows and run the campaigns for you. |
| Platform | Its own self-service platform, everything in one account that you administer yourself. | Our ClevMail platform, which we operate for you, with the flows already set up. |
| Romanian support | Interface and docs in English and a few other European languages. Support replies in English. | Support in Romanian, during Romanian working hours, over WhatsApp and email. |
| Content and flows | You write the emails and build the automated flows (welcome, abandoned cart, win-back). | We write the emails and build the flows and monthly campaigns, in Romanian. |
| Reporting | A self-service dashboard: you review the numbers and draw the conclusions yourself. | An interpreted monthly report: we tell you what the numbers mean and what we do next. |
| Who it fits | Whoever wants to work alone, has time to learn and starts on a small budget. | Whoever wants the result without managing the platform and campaigns themselves. |
We compare a managed service with a self-service tool. We do not compare exact prices, they change over time; we leave them out of the table so it does not go stale.
