Unlike many competitors that charge based on Monthly Active Users (MAU), Customer.io's pricing is determined by the total number of "objects" in your database, which includes both users and companies. This structure can lead to disproportionately high costs, especially for businesses with freemium and Trial plans, when most of these users don't use your product for more than one week.
The process of deleting old or inactive users to manage these object counts is not as simple or intuitive as it could be, adding to the administrative burden and potentially inflating costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
