Objective metrics, no spin.
Growth-stage B2C companies (mobile, media, e-commerce) wanting Braze-class cross-channel marketing with faster onboarding and more flexible data.
Very small teams (expensive), pure B2B marketing (HubSpot/Marketo better), or Shopify-native stores (Klaviyo).
For small businesses, e-commerce, or content marketing needing affordable email marketing with automation. Great for getting started.
For complex B2B marketing (use HubSpot/Marketo) or large enterprises.
