"SendX let me segment our campaign contacts by specific tags that we add so we drill down a specific target. But the best thing is their customer service, always ready to help you with personal assistance and understanding of your needs. We'll start using it for our B2C e-commerce too and try the pop up tools."

An honest look at Sailthru

We think you should make an informed decision. Here's our honest take on where Sailthru falls short — and what it genuinely does well.

Where Sailthru falls short

  • Very Expensive: Enterprise-level pricing puts it out of reach for most mid-market companies.
  • Steep Learning Curve: Complex UI and feature set require specialist users or agency help.
  • Bugs & Reliability Issues: User reviews mention performance hiccups and data sync problems.
  • Poor Customer Service: Slow, unhelpful responses frequently cited on review sites.

What Sailthru does well

  • Powerful Personalisation: Machine-learning engine delivers 1-to-1 content and product recommendations.
  • Cross-Channel Orchestration: Unified campaigns across email, onsite and mobile push from one platform.
  • Robust Analytics: Deep cohort and revenue reporting tailored to enterprise B2C marketers.

When a prospect is a well-funded enterprise retailer or publisher that needs advanced cross-channel personalisation and has the budget and staff to manage a complex platform.

SendX is a better choice for growth-hungry companies
