Joryio

Customer.io

Billing

Platform fees are based on profiles that successfully receive a message during the month, billed separately for each workspace. Messaging charges are separate; an estimate is available on our website.

Billing is based on stored profiles - people and objects - and an email allowance. Exceeding allowances costs extra; SMS, WhatsApp and additional AI usage are charged separately.

Channels

Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Viber, push, in-app, webhooks, ad audiences, and Apple and Google Wallet passes.

Email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, web and in-app messages, a notification inbox, Slack and webhooks. WhatsApp can connect directly through your Meta business account.

In-app

Four layouts, segment targeting and frequency limits shared with other channels. Messages to identified contacts count for billing; messages to anonymous visitors do not.

Web and in-app messages, including forms, surveys and content embedded in the screen. Anonymous messaging is available on Premium and Enterprise.

Wallet

Share Apple and Google Wallet passes in messages, update points and offers through journeys, and use pass activity to trigger follow-up actions.

Apple and Google Wallet passes are not listed among Customer.io’s built-in channels. An external solution requires separate evaluation and setup.

Analytics

Funnels, retention, RFM and revenue attribution included alongside campaigns and journeys.

Message, campaign and conversion reports. The AI agent can also create custom reports on user behavior, and you can connect external analytics tools.

AI

An assistant drafts journeys, segments and dashboards for your approval. Personalization agents and send-time optimization are available according to your settings and plan.

An AI agent for content, campaigns and data, including conversational analytics. Agent capabilities, usage limits and credits vary by plan.

Data streaming

Event streaming to your database or warehouse is included; the number of destinations depends on the plan. Use the available tools to work with your data outside Joryio.

Data Pipelines includes basic integrations on Essentials. Advanced integrations and data exports to destinations such as Snowflake and BigQuery are available on Premium and Enterprise.

Getting started

Starting prices in USD from Customer.io’s pricing page, checked September 13, 2026. The Essentials price refers to the calculator’s 50K+ option and increases with profile volume. Premium profile and email volumes are quoted individually; $1,000 is not a guaranteed price for 50K profiles. Overages and additional services may increase the total.

Premium is a closer comparison when you need warehouse exports and anonymous in-app messaging - capabilities already available in Joryio Growth. The plans and billing models differ: Joryio charges for profiles that successfully receive a message, while Customer.io charges for stored profiles. Compare your actual usage, including delivery costs, allowances and additional features.
