Alitu

  • The included hosting covers 1,000 downloads a month, and more costs $10 a month for up to 10,000

  • The advertised $32 a month is the annual rate
  • The professional editing service is a separate product starting at $295 a month
  • There is no free tier, only a 7 day trial

Customer.io

  • Essentials plan caps at 5,000 profiles (people and objects) and 1,000,000 monthly emails, with overages billed at $0.12 per 1,000 emails beyond that
  • Standard and Premium tiers show custom pricing only, and Enterprise is negotiated rate, so three of the four published tiers require a sales conversation
  • Monthly plans accept credit card only; annual billing via invoice (ACH/wire) requires the annual commitment
