Best-of & alternatives
Honest, use-case-first roundups — the best tools in each category, with fromHello as one fair option, never the headline.
- Best · AlternativesBraze alternatives (2026)The main Braze alternatives are Customer.io, Iterable, OneSignal, Ortto, and fromHello. Braze publishes no list price, so start with how you buy: Customer.io and OneSignal publish theirs and sell without a sales call, Iterable is quote-only on annual contracts, Ortto withdrew its public pricing page in June 2026, and fromHello is in early access.Read the guide
- Best · For small teamsBest customer engagement platforms for small teams (2026)The best customer engagement platforms for small teams in 2026 are Customer.io for flexible journeys, Klaviyo for ecommerce, Brevo for a cheap all-in-one, Loops for clean SaaS email, and Dittofeed for an open-source stack. fromHello adds an AI growth team on top, though it is in early access.Read the guide
- Best · AlternativesCustomer.io alternatives (2026)The best Customer.io alternatives in 2026 are Braze for enterprise scale, Klaviyo for ecommerce, ActiveCampaign for affordable automation with a light CRM, Brevo for a cheap all-in-one toolkit, and Encharge for B2B SaaS. fromHello is the open-source option that adds an AI growth team, though it is in early access.Read the guide
- Best · AlternativesDittofeed alternatives (2026)Dittofeed's maintainer said in August 2026 that the project is in maintenance mode and feature development has stopped. The software still runs and the cloud is still sold, so most teams are not in a hurry. When you do move, Mautic is the like-for-like open-source option, Customer.io the like-for-like managed one, Loops the cheapest with real journeys, and Novu only if you needed notification plumbing.Read the guide
- Best · AlternativesHubSpot alternatives (2026)The best HubSpot alternatives in 2026 depend on how much of the suite you are actually replacing. ActiveCampaign and Brevo carry a CRM alongside marketing, so they can swap the whole thing. Encharge and Customer.io carry none, so you keep a CRM. fromHello runs growth with an AI team and is in early access.Read the guide
- Best · AlternativesKlaviyo alternatives for SaaS and subscription businesses (2026)If your business is a subscription rather than a store, the strongest Klaviyo alternatives are Customer.io, Brevo, ActiveCampaign, and Loops, plus fromHello in early access. Klaviyo is ecommerce-first and very good at it. You leave for two reasons: orders, products, and carts stop being the spine of your data model, and the meter counts every active profile.Read the guide
- Best · AlternativesMautic alternatives (2026)The best Mautic alternatives in 2026 are Listmonk for teams whose install is really a newsletter, Dittofeed for journeys you still self-host, Brevo for the closest managed match to Mautic's feature shape, and ActiveCampaign for campaign depth. Contacts carry over; campaigns, forms, and landing pages do not. fromHello stays copyleft and self-hostable (AGPL) and adds an AI growth team, still in early access.Read the guide
- Best · Open sourceBest open-source customer engagement platforms (2026)The closest thing to a complete open-source customer engagement platform in 2026 is Dittofeed, now in maintenance mode; Mautic covers the most ground for marketers; Chatwoot and Novu each cover half the job — conversations and notifications. Laudspeaker is no longer maintained. fromHello pairs an AGPL platform with an AI growth team, in early access.Read the guide
- Best · Open sourceBest open-source marketing automation tools (2026)The best open-source marketing automation tools in 2026 are Mautic for a mature all-in-one platform, Listmonk for high-volume newsletters, Dittofeed for a developer-first multichannel stack, and Novu for notification infrastructure. fromHello adds an AI growth team on top, though it is still in early access.Read the guide
- Best · Open sourceSelf-hosted email marketing (2026)Self-hosted email marketing means two different things stacked together: the application that writes, segments and schedules campaigns, and the mail server that actually delivers them. Self-host the first — Listmonk, Keila, Plunk and Mautic all do it well and free. Renting the second is almost always the right call, and every major cloud blocks the port you would need anyway.Read the guide
