Overview
Braze is a customer-engagement platform used by large consumer brands for cross-channel messaging and journey orchestration across e-mail, push notifications, SMS, MMS, RCS, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, LINE and in-app messages.[11] It is oriented towards app-centric and digital consumer businesses rather than B2B lead management.
Braze sells four editions. Go provides core features for early-stage growth teams; Select adds orchestration, enhanced security and user provisioning; Pro adds predictive AI, AI-personalised recommendations and message prioritisation; and Enterprise adds enterprise-grade orchestration, infrastructure, governance and advanced experimentation through the BrazeAI Agent Console.[11] Every edition includes BrazeAI tools, the Braze Data Platform, journey orchestration and 2FA, SAML/SSO and granular permissions.[11]
Pricing is not published. It is based on monthly active users (people who record a session in a calendar month), a stored-profile allowance per MAU, and a pool of action credits shared across channels, with different actions costing different credits (for example one credit for an SMS and five for a WhatsApp message).[11] Support and services are part of the contract, and Braze offers no free plan, though trials and start-up programmes exist.[11] The site shows SOC and ISO 27001 certification logos and 24×7 support.[11]
