FAQ
{a.name} vs {b.name} FAQ
Drip or Brevo for cart recovery?
Choose Drip when Teams wanting visual workflows and behavior-based segmentation. Choose Brevo when Budget-conscious stores needing practical campaigns. Sequenzy still leads as lifecycle layer if neither owns strategy.

Modeled $638 cart (35% margin) and $423 cart (67% margin) with separate incentive caps.
Channel escalation?

Attribution caution?
Hold out 5%; report contribution after discount, not platform-attributed recovery alone.
Migration tip?
Rebuild cart flow first; parallel suppressions two weeks; pause old automations before enabling new.
Margin math?
$638 full-price $223.3 vs 18% code $183.11 (Δ $40.19).
