| Pricing | $695/month (Essentials, up to 10k monthly ad spend) · free tier: None advertised on the pricing page; CTAs are 'Get Started' and 'Book a Demo' | 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 plus percentage of ad spend on higher tier | Subscription with usage-based overages |
| Best for | Agencies and brands whose client accounts each spend well above $10k/month on Amazon or Walmart, that want goal-based automation plus hourly Marketing Stream optimization, and that have procurement or legal capacity to negotiate termination and renewal terms in writing before signing. | 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 manage sub-$10k/month accounts where a $695 floor eats a double-digit share of media, need month-to-month flexibility to churn client accounts mid-term, require granular manual and placement-level control, or cannot accept a fee tied to media spend. | 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.
