How to choose a Zoho Campaigns alternative

  • Decide whether you are B2B lead nurturing or B2C lifecycle marketing. The products are different — one revolves around forms and scoring, the other around app events and push.
  • Count contacts, not features; most pricing scales with monthly active users or contacts, and the bill grows with your list.
  • Check DND, consent and template-approval handling for SMS and WhatsApp, which are regulated channels in India.
