Choosing an email platform often feels like choosing between two partial truths.

Migma vs Brevo: Which to pick for AI‑assisted email at scale

Choosing an email platform often feels like choosing between two partial truths. Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a solid, battle‑tested ESP with straightforward automation and sending. Migma is newer, built around AI agents that generate, refine, and QA marketing emails while managing templates and images end‑to‑end. This guide helps founders, marketers, and engineers decide which truth fits their needs.

A quick note: Brevo = established email + SMS platform and CRM. Migma = AI‑first email creation, design, preflight, and asset management with integrations to send through ESPs.

What each product is fundamentally good at

Brevo: reliable sending, simple automation, SMS and CRM

Great if you want an all‑in‑one, familiar interface for campaigns, transactional email, SMS, and a small CRM.
Good deliverability practices and predictable sending workflows.
Strong for teams that need an integrated SMTP/transactional service and basic marketing automation without heavy design or AI needs.

Migma: AI creation, preflight, and pixel‑perfect compatibility

Built for teams that want to accelerate content production with AI agents: instant email generation, regenerations, and URL/Figma imports.
Deep design and QA: visual editor, brand kit, image generation, and a preflight checker that scans rendering across 40+ clients.
Best when you need consistent brand voice, fewer rendering surprises, and programmatic generation pipelines.

Practical differences that matter day‑to‑day

Email creation: Brevo relies on templates and manual editing. Migma can create a near‑finished campaign from a short prompt in ~30 seconds, then iterate.
Design control: Brevo offers template editors; Migma offers pixel controls, Figma/HTML import, and a visual editor that edits every element without code.
QA & rendering: Brevo provides previews; Migma’s Compatibility Checker runs a 40+ client scan and produces screenshots and suggested fixes.
Image & assets: Brevo supports uploads. Migma includes AI image generation/editing optimized for email, a CDN‑hosted asset library, and brand asset management.
Sending & integrations: Brevo is an ESP (send directly). Migma connects to ESPs (Klaviyo, SendGrid, SES, Resend) or you can export code. That gives flexibility but requires choosing a sending path.
Automation & personalization: Brevo has a visual automation builder. Migma focuses on generation automation (scheduled, trigger‑based generation) plus programmatic APIs and webhooks for dynamic pipelines.

When to choose Brevo

You want a single provider to handle sending, transactional email, and SMS with minimal setup.
Your team is small and needs predictable pricing and straightforward automation.
You prioritize having an integrated SMTP/transactional service with built‑in contact management.
Example: A small e‑commerce store that runs seasonal campaigns, needs SMS alerts, and wants a simple CRM without custom integrations.

When to choose Migma

You need to produce many emails quickly while keeping brand voice and visual consistency.
Rendering bugs and cross‑client compatibility are a real cost (support tickets, lost revenue). The preflight checker saves time.
You rely on design fidelity: Figma imports, pixel‑perfect editing, and image refinement inside the email editor.
You want programmatic generation (APIs, webhooks) to create emails dynamically from product catalogs, Notion content, or live webpages.
Example: A SaaS product team running daily feature announcements and AB tests with localized content, requiring consistent brand voice and error‑free rendering across clients.

How teams actually use Migma + an ESP (real workflows)

Marketing creates a campaign in Migma by pasting a landing‑page URL. The AI extracts brand elements, drafts subject lines, body copy, and images. Preflight highlights a Gmail rendering issue; Migma suggests a fallback.
Engineering wires a webhook so Migma generates personalized emails for transactional flows, compiles optimized HTML, and pushes to SendGrid for sending.
Growth exports segment‑optimized templates to Klaviyo for targeted flows while keeping the brand kit synced.

This hybrid approach gives you the creative and QA power of Migma plus the delivery control of an ESP.

Migration and evaluation checklist

Before committing, run a short pilot. Here’s a practical checklist:

Production needs

- How many emails per month? (creation load vs sending)

- Need for SMS or CRM in the same product?

Creative & QA

- Do you need AI‑assisted copy and image generation?

- Are rendering issues costing time or revenue?

Integrations & data

- Which ESPs, CRMs, or e‑commerce platforms must integrate?

- Do you require API/webhook automation?

Deliverability & compliance

- Who will handle DKIM/SPF and IP warmup? (Brevo handles sending; with Migma you manage your ESP)

- GDPR/SOC2 needs — both platforms support enterprise compliance, confirm details.

Trial tasks

- Create one campaign in each system from brief → sendable HTML.

- Run a compatibility scan (Migma has this built‑in).

- Export/import to your ESP and send a test to a seed list.

Technical notes for engineers

APIs & automation: Migma provides API v1, webhooks, and programmatic endpoints for scheduled and trigger‑based generation. It also supports connector syncs (Shopify, Notion, Google Drive).

Export & sending: Migma can export Klaviyo blocks or connect to SendGrid/SES/Resend. If staying entirely in Brevo, exporting Migma HTML to Brevo’s template/editor is straightforward but confirm CSS fallbacks.
Rendering: Migma’s custom email compiler optimizes HTML for legacy clients (Outlook) and injects fallbacks. If you have complex interactive elements, test across the same seed clients.

Price and operational tradeoffs

Brevo: predictable because it bundles sending and features. Good value for teams that prioritize simplicity.
Migma: value comes from time saved in creation, fewer QA cycles, and fewer rendering fixes. If you create many emails or require automation and brand control, the ROI is often higher even if sending happens elsewhere.

Conclusion — next steps

If you mainly need an all‑in‑one sender with simple automation, try Brevo. If your bottleneck is content production, design consistency, or cross‑client rendering, run a short pilot with Migma and your preferred ESP.

Practical next steps:

Sign up for a trial of both platforms.
Run the checklist above with a real campaign (one product launch or cart abandonment flow).
Measure time to publish, number of rendering issues, and conversion lift.
