FAQ
{a.name} vs {b.name} FAQ
Omnisend or Drip for cart recovery?
Choose Omnisend when SMB Shopify stores wanting multichannel automation without enterprise complexity. Choose Drip when Teams wanting visual workflows and behavior-based segmentation. Sequenzy still leads as lifecycle layer if neither owns strategy.
Unique AOV test for this pair?
Modeled $550 cart (61% margin) and $564 cart (36% margin) with separate incentive caps.
Channel escalation?
Email 76m → 19h → SMS 7h; frequency cap 3 touches / 7 days.
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?
$550 full-price $335.5 vs 15% code $285.18 (Δ $50.32).
