Behavioral data model
Customer.io treats people plus custom events as the source of truth. That design suits SaaS products where meaningful triggers live in application code: trial started, feature adopted, seat added, usage threshold crossed. Segments compose on events and attributes without forcing an ecommerce catalog schema.
Multi-channel orchestration
Campaigns can branch across channels with consistent audience logic. For teams comparing Brew and Customer.io, the split is often creative speed versus event orchestration depth: Brew leads on AI-native generation and agent surfaces, while Customer.io leads when journeys must react to fine-grained product behavior at scale.
