| Pricing | USD $237/mo paid annually at 10,000 contacts (vendor slider); the same page's comparison table lists $169/mo and G2's record lists $199/mo at 5,000 contacts · free tier: No permanent free plan; a free trial is offered (length not published) | Essentials from $100/month, billed monthly (5,000 profiles, 1M emails/month) · free tier: No free-forever plan; companies that have raised under $10M can get a full year free via the startup program. No trial length published. |
| Pricing model | Subscription priced by size of contact audience | Subscription with usage-based overages |
| Best for | Mid-market B2B companies (roughly 51-1,000 employees) with a lean marketing team, Salesforce as CRM, a stable and predictable contact database, and a live cost comparison against HubSpot, Marketo or Pardot. | Funded SaaS or mobile product companies with 5k–100k profiles and engineering resource to send event data, who need email coordinated with push, in-app and SMS in one journey — especially startups eligible for the under-$10M free year. |
| Avoid if | You are a small business, nonprofit or early-stage company where price-per-contact bites, your contact list is about to grow fast or unpredictably, your demand gen is built on landing pages and gated forms, or you need a permanent free tier or benchmarked enterprise-scale pricing. | You want cheap newsletters, forms or landing pages, have no developer support for setup, sit on a large dormant B2C list you will still be billed for, need month-to-month flexibility above $100/month, or require phone-based billing escalation. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
