## What the ledger scores

[Customer.io](https://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](/reviews/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.

**Automations:** 94/100

## AI design column

Templates plus assistive AI. Fast on-brand HTML often comes from [Brew](/reviews/brew) then into the journey.

**AI design:** 85/100

## Pricing

Essentials and Premium. Confirm on [customer.io/pricing](https://customer.io/pricing).
