When should you choose Sequenzy?

1. You Need Email Marketing, Not Sales Chat

Drift is conversational marketing for B2B sales - qualifying leads through chat, booking meetings, routing to sales reps. If you need email campaigns, subscriber segments, and AI-generated sequences, that's not what Drift does. Sequenzy is purpose-built for email marketing.

2. You Want Affordable Pricing

Drift starts at $2,500/month. Sequenzy is $19/month. This isn't a fair comparison because they're different products, but if your budget is limited and you need email marketing, Drift isn't in the conversation. Check our transparent pricing for details.

3. You Want Self-Serve Setup

With Sequenzy, sign up and send your first email in minutes. Drift requires talking to sales, implementation, and enterprise onboarding. If you want to get started quickly without sales calls, that's not Drift's model.

4. You Want Native Stripe Integration

Sequenzy connects directly to Stripe via our native integration and syncs customer data, MRR, subscription status, and churn signals automatically. Drift integrates with Salesforce and HubSpot for sales pipelines, not subscription billing.

5. You're Not a Sales-Led B2B Company

Drift is built for B2B companies with sales teams. If you're product-led growth, self-serve SaaS, or don't have a sales team qualifying leads through chat, Drift's value proposition doesn't apply to you.

When should you consider Drift?

1. You Have a B2B Sales Team

Drift shines when you have sales reps who can immediately engage with qualified leads. The chatbot qualifies visitors, books meetings, and routes to the right rep. This requires a sales team. If you don't have one, Drift's core value doesn't help you.

2. You Want Chat-Based Lead Qualification

Drift's chatbots ask qualifying questions, identify high-intent visitors, and get them on calls faster than form-fill-to-SDR workflows. We don't have chat. For conversational lead qualification, Drift is excellent.

3. You Need Revenue Attribution from Chat

Drift obsessively tracks pipeline and revenue from chat conversations. Which conversations led to deals? What's the ROI of conversational marketing? We don't track sales pipeline. For revenue attribution from chat, Drift is purpose-built.

4. You Use Salesforce or HubSpot

Drift has deep CRM integrations - contacts flow into Salesforce, conversations sync to HubSpot, sales reps see chat history. We don't integrate with Salesforce. If your sales workflow is CRM-centric, Drift fits.

5. You Have the Budget

At $2,500/mo minimum, Drift requires budget. It's priced for Series A+ companies with sales teams. The ROI can be there - faster lead response means more closed deals - but you need the volume to justify the spend.

Honest Limitations of Sequenzy

• No live chat: We're email-only. No chat widget for sales conversations.

Honest Limitations of Drift

• No email marketing: Drift doesn't do email campaigns or sequences.
• Requires sales team: Without reps to chat with leads, core value is lost.
• Sales-led buying: No self-serve, must talk to sales first.
• Complex to implement: Enterprise software with implementation time.
• B2B focused: Not designed for B2C or consumer companies.
• Feature overkill: Many capabilities you might not use.
