    • Cross-channel campaign automation (email, SMS, push, in-app)

    Customer engagement platform for mobile and omnichannel marketing with CleverAI: a real-time decisioning engine that picks the message, offer and timing per customer, churn and conversion predictions, and AI-driven experiments.

    • CleverAI Predictions for conversion and churn
    • AI-driven experimentation

    Core plan starts at $85 a month with a free trial

    • Customer data platform with unified profiles
    • AI behaviour prediction
    • Menura AI and Samaritan Chat shopping assistant

    Data capture, prediction and activation in one platform rather than three vendors

    No public pricing

  5. Audiense

    3.5Not listed

    vs ZEPIC−0.4

    Audiense Action, an AI campaign companion, instantly generates ready-to-act campaign toolkits - shaping ideas and validating targeting on top of deep social audience research.

    • Audiense Action - AI campaign companion generating ready-to-act toolkits
    • Deep social audience research (Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok)
    • Behavioral audience segmentation beyond demographics

    Closes the research-to-action gap most audience-analytics tools leave open

    No pricing disclosed - requires sales contact

  6. Full Venue

    3.9Not listed

    vs ZEPICSame

    AI audience segmentation platform that predicts purchase likelihood for sports, events, and retail brands.

    • AI purchase-likelihood scoring for individual fans and customers
    • Native integrations with Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google, and Meta
    • Automated send-time optimization for email campaigns

    Built specifically for sports and event ticketing data, a niche most general marketing platforms ignore

    No published pricing makes budget comparison against competitors hard upfront

  7. Appcues

    3.7Not listed

    vs ZEPIC−0.2

    In-app onboarding and adoption platform where prompt-driven AI builds and launches product experiences.

    • Prompt-driven building and launching of in-app experiences
    • AI recommendations for campaign decisions
    • In-app messages, surveys, promotions and guides

    AI removes some manual assembly of onboarding flows

    No dollar prices on the pricing page, so a sales call is needed

  8. Markopolo

    4.0$23/mo

    vs ZEPIC+0.1Free plan

    AI customer engagement platform that recovers lost ecommerce revenue through personalized multichannel outreach.

    • Individual-shopper behavioral profiling instead of segment-level targeting
    • Cross-channel messaging across email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, and voice
    • Abandoned-cart and lost-revenue recovery automation

    Free tier lets small stores test recovery automation before paying

    Top-tier pricing at $2,999 a month puts full features out of reach for small merchants
