Pros

Trade-offs

Our verdict
Braze is the upgrade path when you outgrow tools like Customer.io at scale. Its streaming architecture and cross-channel orchestration are built for enterprise mobile-first brands.
That capability comes with enterprise pricing and implementation complexity. For most teams it is more than they need; for global B2C apps, it is a proven choice.
