The short version

  • Only Captivate has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Captivate tiers are download ceilings and nothing else: 30,000 a month on Personal, 150,000 on Professional and 300,000 on Business; MoEngage no dollar figures are published for any tier across its three products (Inform, the core cross-channel platform, and Personalize); every plan routes to a Let's Talk or Request Demo sales conversation
