The short version

  • Only Tito has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Tito limited to smaller and mid-sized events, less suitable for enterprise-scale conferences

Tito

  • Limited to smaller and mid-sized events, less suitable for enterprise-scale conferences
  • Fewer built-in marketing automation features compared to Cvent
