Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a CDP and a personalisation engine?

A CDP (Customer Data Platform) unifies data from multiple sources to create unified customer profiles and enable data activation. A personalisation engine uses that data to deliver tailored experiences in real-time across channels. Many modern platforms combine both capabilities; CDPs like Segment often power personalisation through APIs and integrations.

How much should an enterprise expect to spend on an AI personalisation platform?

Enterprise personalisation platforms typically start at GBP 10,000–30,000 annually, but scale to GBP 100,000+ depending on data volume, users, and channel count. Pricing is often usage-based or negotiated; smaller teams and mid-market organisations may find solutions starting at GBP 1,200–5,000 monthly.

Do these platforms require in-house data science expertise?

Most modern platforms offer low-code or no-code interfaces for marketers, but extracting maximum ROI often requires data engineering support for integration, data quality, and advanced segmentation. Platforms like Kameleoon and Dynamic Yield are more user-friendly; pure CDPs like Segment typically require stronger technical resources.
