Drip's Pricing Scales Fast. Get Better Value.

HiMail.ai becomes more affordable once you reach approximately 10,000 contacts (Drip: $154 vs HiMail.ai: $149). However, factor in that HiMail.ai includes WhatsApp which Drip doesn't offer at any price. Adding a separate WhatsApp tool to Drip would cost an additional $50-200/month, making HiMail.ai more cost-effective even at smaller list sizes if you need WhatsApp functionality.

Yes. Export your contact lists from Drip (including tags and custom fields) and import them into HiMail.ai. For automation workflows, you'll rebuild them in HiMail.ai's visual automation builder. The good news: you can often enhance these workflows by adding WhatsApp as an additional touchpoint, creating multi-channel sequences that weren't possible in Drip. Our team can assist with migration planning.

HiMail.ai includes core ecommerce automation features: abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase campaigns, customer segmentation, product recommendations, and Shopify/WooCommerce integrations. Drip has some advanced ecommerce-specific features we don't (like revenue per subscriber tracking). However, HiMail.ai's key differentiator is multi-channel automation (email + WhatsApp) which often delivers better results than email-only campaigns, even with fewer advanced features.

Contact-based pricing is common in email marketing because it roughly correlates with infrastructure costs and value delivered. However, it creates a problematic dynamic where your success (growing your list) directly increases costs. HiMail.ai uses unlimited contact pricing because we believe platform costs shouldn't penalize business growth. You should be able to import all customers, experiment with list building, and scale freely without worrying about automatic price increases.

If you currently have under 2,500 contacts, Drip's $39 starting price is lower than HiMail.ai's $149. However, consider: (1) How quickly will you grow beyond 2,500? (2) Do you need WhatsApp for order updates, which Drip doesn't offer? (3) Would unlimited contacts remove growth anxiety? If you're planning rapid list growth or need WhatsApp, HiMail.ai provides better long-term value even for smaller lists.

Savings increase dramatically with list size. At 20,000 contacts: save $140/month ($1,680/year). At 50,000 contacts: save $550/month ($6,600/year). At 100,000 contacts: save approximately $1,050/month ($12,600/year). These savings don't even account for the WhatsApp functionality HiMail.ai includes that would require a separate subscription with Drip.

No. HiMail.ai's unlimited contact model means you pay $149/month regardless of list size. No automatic upgrades, no surprise price increases, no contact-based tiers. Your monthly cost stays predictable and constant as your business grows. This makes budgeting straightforward and removes the "should I import these contacts?" anxiety that comes with per-contact pricing.
