Built for SaaS, Not E-commerce

Omnisend is for e-commerce. GetResponse is general marketing. Sequenzy is built specifically for SaaS companies with Stripe integration and subscription-aware automation.

Best Value for SaaS

At $49/month for 10k subscribers, Sequenzy costs less than both platforms while offering SaaS-specific features like billing event triggers.

Subscription Business Focus

If you're selling software subscriptions, Sequenzy's trial conversions and churn prevention features are more relevant than e-commerce cart abandonment.
