Braze does not publish universal list pricing; the commercial package is customized around Platform Edition, Monthly Active Users and Action Credits. All four current Platform Editions require customized pricing. Braze says price is driven by Platform Edition, Monthly Active Users and Action Credits. The current agreement states that fees and Subscription Term are defined by the Order Form; unless otherwise provided, fees are quoted/payable in USD and subscription fees are invoiced in advance, with excess usage invoiced monthly in arrears if applicable. Because no exact invoice cadence, minimum contract duration, renewal duration or implementation amount is established for a specific current public Platform Edition quote, those offer fields remain not stated. Email, SMS/MMS/RCS, WhatsApp, LINE, Content Cards, Banners, Message Archiving and related capabilities can require Action Credits or add-on entitlement.

Iterable's sales page offers a pricing estimate, and the current Master Services Agreement states that the Enterprise Order specifies fees, payment schedule, services, and usage limitations. The exact current public numeric license price is not disclosed in the reviewed official routes.

The Enterprise Order also defines the payment schedule and initial term. Professional Services are separately purchasable by statement of work. Contract-specific usage limits exist for messaging channels, but no universal public monetary overage rate was captured. Full profile

Cons	Braze does not publish universal numeric license pricing, so deterministic total cost requires a quote. Pricing depends on multiple dimensions including Platform Edition, Monthly Active Users and Action Credits. Many message channels and advanced capabilities require Action Credits, add-on purchases or account-team enablement.	License pricing is sales-assisted and requires an Enterprise Order rather than a public numeric rate card. Payment schedule, initial term and usage limitations are contract-specific. Contracted fees are non-refundable and non-cancellable during the Term under the standard MSA framework.
