Our method
How do we keep these comparisons fair?
1
Their words, their pages
Competitor prices and limits come from the competitor's own pricing page, help centre or App Store listing, linked under every table.
2
No guessing
If a source doesn't state something, the table says "not stated" rather than filling the gap.
3
Where they win
Every page lists when the other option is the better choice, including free plans and SMS.
4
Same sizes
Costs are shown at the same list sizes, using tinyAlbert's real price tiers.
How does tinyAlbert make its comparisons?
Every competitor fact comes from the competitor's own pricing page, help centre or Shopify App Store listing, and each page links its sources. tinyAlbert facts come from the tinyAlbert app and its App Store listing. Where a source doesn't state something, the table says so instead of guessing.
Is tinyAlbert always the cheapest option?
No. Shopify Messaging includes 10,000 free emails a month on paid Shopify plans, and Klaviyo, Omnisend and Mailchimp have free plans for up to 250 contacts or profiles. tinyAlbert has no free plan; it starts at $3 a month after a 7-day free trial, and its value is that it writes your email for you.
