Best for product teams sending behavior-triggered email
Vero is a customer messaging platform with journeys, broadcasts and audiences, built on event data. Starter is $49 a month on yearly billing ($54 monthly), with fixed caps on profiles, emails, push messages and events. SMS and chat support are only on the custom Professional plan.
Who Vero is for
- Fits if you want emails triggered by what users do in your product
- Works for small teams under 5,000 profiles, where Starter is published
Who Vero is not for
- Tight if you send more than 10,000 emails, 20,000 push messages or 160,000 events a month, because Starter then ends
- Watch out: SMS is only on the custom Professional plan
- Skip it if you want chat support or a priority response, which are Professional only
- Watch out: Starter support is email only, 24 hours a day on weekdays
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, as it is web only

Keep Vero, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Vero you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 57 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- It plugs into other products, Segment, RudderStack and Zapier among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Vero’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Vero?
Vero sends email, push and SMS messages triggered by what users do in a product. Teams send in customer data and events through an API or integrations, segment on them, and build journeys and one-off broadcasts. It prices by emails sent and events tracked rather than by the number of profiles stored.
