Best for Enterprise consumer brands running complex, multi-channel lifecycle journeys who need true incrementality measurement.

Ecommerce brands wanting revenue-attributed email/SMS reporting without a separate analytics tool. Product and lifecycle teams that want messaging tied directly to event data without buying a full enterprise CDP-plus-engagement suite.
