Switch from Customer.io to Gleap

Why choose Gleap as the best Customer.io alternative?

Customer.io is built for marketing automation — drip campaigns, emails, push notifications. But it can't answer a customer's question, capture a bug, or collect product feedback. Gleap gives you AI-powered support, visual bug reporting, and a product roadmap — all in one platform, without per-profile billing.

Customer Support, Not Just Customer Messaging

Customer.io broadcasts messages but can't resolve issues. Gleap includes AI-powered live chat, a knowledge base, and automated workflows that help your customers in real time — not just on a drip schedule.

Predictable Pricing, No Profile-Based Overages

Customer.io charges per profile and costs spiral fast past 5,000 contacts. Gleap offers flat pricing with unlimited seats — growth never triggers a surprise invoice.

Bug Reporting & Product Feedback Built In

Customer.io has no bug reporting, no feature voting, and no roadmap. Gleap captures visual bug reports with full dev context, runs in-app surveys, and connects feedback to a public roadmap — closing the loop between customers and product.

Outbound messages

Multi-channel engagement

Reach customers where they’re most likely to react — via email, chat, in-app messages, push notifications, or banners. Talk to them live or automate follow-ups to reach them later.
