Alternatives to popular retention and engagement tools.
Options for subscription apps looking past their current engagement tool, with what each one is best at.
Braze alternatives for subscription apps
The main Braze alternatives for a subscription app are Whisperr, Customer.io, CleverTap, Airship and OneSignal. Whisperr fits teams without a lifecycle marketer, because it decides, writes and sends retention messages per user. The others are campaign platforms like Braze for teams that will build the journeys themselves; Customer.io, CleverTap and OneSignal list entry prices, and Airship has a self-service tier.
OneSignal alternatives for subscription apps
The main OneSignal alternatives for a subscription app are Whisperr, Customer.io, CleverTap, Airship and Braze. If you mostly need retention, Whisperr decides who gets a message and writes it, and can still send push through your OneSignal account. If you need a bigger campaign platform, Customer.io and CleverTap have published prices, and Braze sells by quote while Airship publishes no prices (a quoted platform plus a self-service tier).
Customer.io alternatives for subscription apps
The main Customer.io alternatives for a subscription app are Whisperr, CleverTap, OneSignal, Braze and Airship. Whisperr fits if retention is the job and nobody has time to build workflows, because it decides, writes and sends each message itself. CleverTap and OneSignal are campaign tools with published prices, and Braze and Airship are enterprise platforms that publish no prices.
CleverTap alternatives for subscription apps
The main CleverTap alternatives for a subscription app are Whisperr, Customer.io, OneSignal, Braze and Airship. Whisperr fits if you want retention handled per user without building journeys, and it works alongside whatever analytics you already use. Customer.io and OneSignal are campaign tools with published prices, and Braze and Airship are enterprise platforms that publish no prices.
