Our take

Many businesses struggle with achieving their marketing goals because they send impersonal messages that fail to engage potential customers effectively. Customer.io aims to change this by offering a marketing automation tool that enables companies to send highly targeted messages to specific audiences, enhancing both retention and conversion rates.

Customer.io sets itself apart from competitors like Klaviyo and Braze by leveraging real-time behavioural data and advanced segmentation, This allows marketers to target individuals based on personal attributes and web history, making their messages more relevant and impactful.

In January 2022, Customer.io expanded its offerings by launching a mobile software development kit for iOS and Android and introducing new integrations with major data warehouse providers, such as Amazon Redshift and Google BigQuery. Following a successful funding round, the company is on its way to accelerating product innovation and expanding its team, aiming for continuous growth and success in the future.
