Pushwoosh is the most cost-effective Braze alternative
With Pushwoosh, you get enterprise-grade capabilities at a lower price. At that, you only pay for the features you actually use.

Pushwoosh's pricing suits every budget and business need
The most decisive advantage of Pushwoosh over Braze is pricing. Braze doesn’t display its pricing publicly. If you wonder how much Braze quotes, the average price for its yearly subscription is known to be $60–100k. For the same functionality, Pushwoosh would charge about $20k a year.
Thus, Pushwoosh appeals to budget-conscious companies that want to keep scaling even during an economic downturn.
- Pushwoosh has a free plan, as well as self-service plans. Braze has only enterprise plans.
- Pushwoosh charges for the number of devices, not for data points. This makes Pushwoosh a more affordable solution for startups targeting a limited number of app users.
- Pushwoosh offers flexible plans with no extra fees for unused features. In addition to pre-made options for developers and marketers, custom plans are available.

Pushwoosh's campaign builder is subjectively and objectively better
Mapping out your messaging flows is easy and enjoyable with Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder:
- Every element goes under a clear name, so you can easily discover it streamlining your journey-building experience.
- You can start your campaign either by a segment or an event (you don’t have to set up numerous parameters as in Braze Canvas).
- You can use attributes of any event included in the journey (not just starting event).
- You can change starting events for campaigns that are already active.
- Build and modify campaigns with complete flexibility while they run.
In contrast, Braze Canvas is a less straightforward alternative, and its UI can be difficult to figure out. Moreover, Braze Canvas has limitations in working with event attributes.
