PostBeagle vs Drip

Drip is an ecommerce email platform with strong segmentation and revenue reporting, and every feature on its single plan. PostBeagle covers the same core WooCommerce flows - abandoned carts, order-based automations, revenue attribution - with a free plan and lower prices at every list size we compared. Here's a side-by-side.

Why teams switch to PostBeagle

Start free, pay less as you grow

PostBeagle has a free plan for up to 2,500 subscribers, and its paid plans cost less than Drip’s list price at every size we compared: $15 against $39 at 2,500 contacts, $29 against $154 at 10,000.

Your bill follows your subscribers

PostBeagle counts active subscribers only. Unsubscribes and bounces drop off automatically, and store buyers who never opted in are not billed. There is nothing to clean up before the invoice.

Built for WooCommerce

The PostBeagle plugin syncs orders and carts from your store, powers abandoned-cart flows on every plan including free, and attributes order revenue to the campaigns that drove it.

When Drip might be the better fit

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

  • You want SMS and email in the same tool and you sell in the US.
  • You send far more than 20 emails per subscriber a month and want unlimited sends.
  • You rely on Drip’s advanced ecommerce segmentation, sub-accounts or its integration list.
