Which one is for you
Pick Drip if
- Fits if you run a Shopify store and want cart, back-in-stock and price-drop emails without building them
- Works for teams where several people work on marketing, since every plan has unlimited users
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're a small shop, at $39 a month before your list has grown
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial that rolls into a paid subscription
- Not for you if you like knowing next year's bill, since the price steps aren't published
- Watch out: free migration and personalized onboarding come only with some plans
- Too light for anyone who wants a phone or desktop app, as Drip is web only
Pick Rejoiner if

- Makes sense if you want abandoned-cart style journeys more than newsletters
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as it's a 30-day trial

- Tight if you need many segments or overlays, as the lower tier caps them at 20 and 5
- Watch out: SMS is $0.015 a message plus carrier fees, and postcards are $0.92 each
- Watch out: the page footer shows a 2022 copyright

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
