These Platforms Serve Different Markets

Let's be clear upfront: Omnisend and Sequenzy are built for different types of businesses.

  • Omnisend is an e-commerce marketing platform. It's built for online stores using Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce. It excels at abandoned cart recovery, product recommendations, and SMS marketing.
  • Sequenzy is a SaaS email platform. It's built for software founders who need Stripe integration, subscription automations, and unified transactional + marketing emails.

Comparing them directly is like comparing a food delivery app to a restaurant booking app. Both involve food, but they solve different problems.


When should you choose Sequenzy?

1. You're Building a SaaS Product

Omnisend is built for e-commerce stores selling physical products. Sequenzy is built for SaaS founders selling subscriptions. If you need to sync with Stripe, trigger emails based on subscription events, and track MRR—Sequenzy is purpose-built for this.

2. You Want Simpler, Cheaper Pricing

At 10,000 subscribers, Omnisend costs $115-150/month. Sequenzy costs $49/month. If you're not using Omnisend's e-commerce features (abandoned cart, product recommendations), you're paying 2-3x more for functionality you don't need.

3. You Don't Need SMS or Push Notifications

Omnisend includes SMS and push notifications—great for e-commerce, but unnecessary for most SaaS products. If you're only doing email, Sequenzy is more focused and affordable.

4. You Need SaaS-Specific Automations

Trial expiry sequences, churn prevention flows, usage-based alerts—these are built into Sequenzy. Omnisend's automations are e-commerce focused (abandoned cart, order follow-up).


When should you stick with Omnisend?

1. You Run an E-commerce Store

If you're selling physical products on Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce, Omnisend is the obvious choice. Their platform is specifically designed for e-commerce with deep integrations we can't match.

2. You Need Abandoned Cart Recovery

Omnisend automatically tracks cart abandonment and sends recovery emails. We don't have e-commerce cart tracking. For online stores, this feature alone often pays for the platform.

3. You Want SMS Marketing

Omnisend includes SMS marketing with credits on paid plans. You can run unified email + SMS campaigns. We're email-only. If SMS is important to your marketing, Omnisend has it built in.

4. You Need Product Recommendations

Omnisend can insert AI-powered product recommendations in emails based on purchase history. We don't have product recommendation features. For e-commerce upselling, this is powerful.

5. You Want Push Notifications

Omnisend includes web push notifications. We don't support push. If you want to reach customers through their browser, Omnisend offers this channel.


Honest Limitations of Sequenzy

  • No e-commerce integrations: We don't connect to Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce.
  • No SMS: We're email-only. Omnisend has built-in SMS.
  • No abandoned cart: We can't track e-commerce cart abandonment.
  • No product recommendations: We don't have AI product blocks.
  • No push notifications: We don't support web push.
  • No product reviews: We can't collect or display product reviews.

Honest Limitations of Omnisend

  • Expensive for non-e-commerce: $115-150/mo at 10k subscribers is a lot if you're not using the e-commerce features.
  • Not built for SaaS: No native Stripe subscription management or SaaS-specific automations.
  • E-commerce complexity: Many features and settings designed for e-commerce that add clutter for SaaS.
  • SMS costs add up: While SMS is included, you get limited credits and need to buy more at $0.015/message.
  • Overkill for simple email needs: If you just need email automation, Omnisend's feature set is more than necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, significantly. At 10,000 subscribers, Sequenzy is $49/mo vs Omnisend's $115-150/mo. But Omnisend includes e-commerce features (abandoned cart, product recommendations, SMS) that Sequenzy doesn't have. If you need those, Omnisend's price may be justified.

Technically yes, but it's not optimized for SaaS. Omnisend's automations are e-commerce focused—abandoned cart, order follow-up, product recommendations. It doesn't have native Stripe subscription management or SaaS-specific triggers like trial expiry.

No. We're email-only. Omnisend has built-in SMS marketing with credits on paid plans. If SMS is important to your marketing strategy, Omnisend is the better choice.

Omnisend, without question. They have deep Shopify integration with abandoned cart recovery, product recommendations, and automatic syncing. We don't integrate with Shopify.

Omnisend has basic payment integrations, but it's built for e-commerce platforms, not SaaS subscription management. Sequenzy syncs directly with Stripe—customer data, MRR, subscription status, churn signals.

Different strengths. Omnisend excels at e-commerce automations—abandoned cart, browse abandonment, product recommendations. Sequenzy excels at SaaS automations—trial expiry, subscription changes, usage alerts.

If you're a SaaS company who mistakenly chose Omnisend, yes. You can export contacts and import them to Sequenzy. E-commerce-specific data (cart history, product purchases) won't transfer since we don't use that data.

Yes, 250 contacts with 500 emails/month and all features included. Sequenzy's free tier is 100 subscribers but includes transactional emails separately.

Omnisend. Subscription boxes are e-commerce—you're selling physical products on a recurring basis. Omnisend's e-commerce integrations and product features are better suited than Sequenzy's SaaS-focused tools.

For e-commerce stores, absolutely. The abandoned cart recovery alone often pays for the platform. For SaaS companies, no—you'd be paying for e-commerce features you don't use.
