We unify your data, messaging, and AI into a single platform, so every interaction with your customers is stronger and more relevant than the last.
Flexible data modeling
Embrace advanced data modeling with Customer.io's seamless integrations and Data Pipelines, enabling batch updates and multi-identifier workspaces. In contrast, Braze's ID requirement complicates merging profiles and counts anonymous users toward active user limits.
Custom objects
Unlock powerful features like custom objects and webhook-triggered campaigns in Customer.io for unlimited data activation. Braze, however, caps data points and restricts access to event properties, limiting flexibility in message automation.
Cost effective
Choose Customer.io for cost-effective marketing with unlimited data and flexible payment options. Braze adds extra onboarding and account setup fees, increasing costs beyond data overage charges.

Customers love us
Preferred by product-led companies
After evaluating Customer.io and Braze head to head, we decided to go with Customer.io for the ease of integration, transactional messages, our mobile capabilities especially push notifications, and for the support we know we would get.
Ivar Arulaid
Marketing Operations & Automation Manager
With the flexibility and interoperability of Customer.io we’ve been able to build some truly insane and elaborate onboarding flows. If a colleague asks me if Customer.io can do something cool, no matter what they ask my immediate answer is always, “Yes. Yes it can.” I love always having the answers!
Ammon Brown
VP of Growth
Messaging frequency is key for our strategy. We can’t email our customers daily, so increasing frequency with a multi-channel strategy is how we can scale message volume. The conversion rates prove that strategy is working.
Ugo Iwuchukwu
Head of Marketing
