Customer.io plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

| Essentials | $15/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| Standard | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Premium | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
| Enterprise | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Before you pay for Customer.io
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between $15/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Customer.io against the tools that do have one before committing.
Customer.io runs on not recorded. The full record is on the Customer.io review, and the rest of the category is under best marketing tools.

- Not on the record we hold: Customer.io is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

- Standard costs On request against $15/month, and adds mid-tier scaling across channels, higher profile and email allowances, email and priority support.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is custom pricing for dedicated infrastructure, hipaa compliance, dedicated hardware, dedicated success managers. It costs On request against $15/month for Essentials. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The Customer.io review carries whatever feature detail is available.

- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Customer.io prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
