When comparing Braze to other marketing platforms, it's important to consider the value that Braze and its partners can bring to your business.
While Braze alternatives like CleverTap, Iterable, and MoEngage often have lower upfront costs, they may not provide the same level of comprehensive features, integrations, and consulting services that Braze offers. In the end, choosing Braze as your partner will help you achieve your marketing goals and drive business growth for years to come. CleverTap pricing, MoEngage pricing, and Iterable pricing reflect the services each of the businesses provides. Basically, you could well end up paying more over time if you opt for a cheaper option out the gate.
If you’re thinking about Braze vs the alternatives, factor in the costs you would otherwise incur with consulting services. Signing up for multiple individual services offered by Braze API, and the customers you’ll gain through integration is key. Braze pricing isn’t the lowest out there, but the services are top-of-the-line.
Additionally, while the upfront cost of Braze may seem higher compared to other marketing platforms, it's essential to remember that Braze and its partners can help you achieve a higher ROI for your business and make the cost back easily.
