Selzy vs Omnisend

Budget AI email vs e-commerce marketing platform

TL;DR

Omnisend is purpose-built for e-commerce with Shopify integration, product pickers, and SMS. Selzy is cheaper and more general with AI tools. Omnisend wins for online stores. Selzy wins on price.

Key Differences

The main things that set these tools apart

E-commerce Focus
Omnisend wins

Omnisend is built for online stores. Product picker in emails, pre-built e-commerce automations (welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase), revenue attribution. Selzy has basic e-commerce integrations but no specialized tools.

AI Features
Selzy wins

Selzy has more AI tools for email creation: builder, multi-role assistant, template generator, image generator. Omnisend's AI is limited to subject line suggestions. For AI-assisted content creation, Selzy offers more.

Multi-Channel
Omnisend wins

Omnisend includes SMS and web push notifications alongside email. Selzy is email-only (with Telegram chatbots on Standard plan). For reaching customers across channels, Omnisend covers more.

Price
Selzy wins

Selzy is roughly half the price at 10k subscribers. If you're not running an e-commerce store, Omnisend's premium e-commerce features are wasted.

Overview

Selzy and Omnisend target different markets. For our take on each, see our Selzy comparison and Omnisend comparison.

Omnisend's E-commerce Toolkit

Omnisend was built for online stores. A product picker that pulls items directly from your catalog, pre-built e-commerce automations, revenue attribution per campaign, and SMS marketing. Selzy can connect to Shopify but doesn't have e-commerce-specific tools.

Selzy's Value for Non-E-commerce

If you're not running an online store, Omnisend's e-commerce features add cost without value. Selzy is half the price with AI tools that help create emails faster. For service businesses, agencies, or content companies, Selzy is the smarter choice.

The Sequenzy Alternative

For SaaS founders who don't sell physical products, Sequenzy combines transactional email and marketing campaigns with Stripe integration at $49/month.
