[@CloudWithDjango]

Oh awesome!! 💪

[@nandhum5307]

Thanks for this.
One question, If we are using gmail in brevo, can we not use it directly as the email backend? If we are sending from gmail directly, there wont be any limitations and it would be free as well, right?

[@CloudWithDjango]

My pleasure! Yes, so If you're using Gmail directly as your email backend in Django, you can send emails for free, but there are limitations. Gmail limits the number of emails you can send per day-typically 100-500 for regular accounts and around 2,000 for Google Workspace accounts. Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is better suited for sending larger volumes of emails or marketing campaigns, offering more flexibility and avoiding Gmail's daily limits.
