Pricing
NiftyImages has very high pricing, with limited functionality until you reach the enterprise tier ($450 per month). Even at this level, API integrations, split testing, and maps are not available (exclusive to “Enterprise Plus”, at $950 per month). Price per views is also comparatively much higher than other providers.
This is in stark contrast to Sendtric, which offers enterprise-class functionality and service levels at a fraction of the cost. A similar service level with Sendtric costs just $35 per month, with option of up to unlimited views at enterprise level pricing.

Sendtric – Email Engagement Powerhouse
Sendtric is a fully featured platform solution for making your emails interactive.
If your email marketing extends beyond urgency, Sendtric offers powerful tools. Gather feedback with polls, personalize images based on user data, and show live weather. It’s a powerful hub for so many email engagement tactics.
For example, event organizers can use timers to count down to a major music festival, give live weather updates to attendees, and take polls on the artists they’re most excited to see. This data can feed into future events, and remarketing for popular acts. This is just one of the countless ways Sendtric’s email widgets can be used.
Even on their own, Sendtric’s timers are powerful, and highly customizable for specific automated campaigns.

NiftyImages – A Complex Solution
NiftyImages has deep integration with Adobe and can be plugged into third party apps for additional functionality. But this level of platform complexity, without native support for the basics, is only suited for organizations with dedicated design and development resources.
Other drawbacks include a lack of individual team logins and a pricing model that’s significantly higher than alternatives. It also adds watermarks to free emails, and requires a Zapier integration to show evergreen timers – adding more to your technical resources.
Use Cases for NiftyImages [5]
While it does offer timers, NiftyImages specializes in dynamic image personalization. This is the platform’s core strength, and why it supports Photoshop integration. Timers are not a key focus of the platform, which is why some seemingly rudimentary features are not native, and only available with Zapier integration.
