The short version

  • Only Lighthouse has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Lighthouse described by the vendor as an open-source, automated tool with community contributions welcomed, no commercial edition; 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
