What the ledger scores
Customer.io thinks in people and events. That is the right row for trial conversion and feature nudges. It is the wrong row if you only have a brand URL and a Friday send.
Automations score first because branching is the product. Brew ranks second because a brief can stand up a graph faster.
Automations column
Conditions, attribute changes, webhooks, multi-channel steps. Give the operator a clean event schema or the journeys stall.
AI design column
Templates plus assistive AI. Fast on-brand HTML often comes from Brew then into the journey.
Pricing
Essentials and Premium. Confirm on customer.io/pricing.
Verdict
当 lifecycle 逻辑在产品 event 与 multichannel 编排中时选 Customer.io。当创意速度与 agent 可操作生成比最大分支深度更重要时选 Brew。
