Event-triggered journeys across email, SMS and push with branching and segments; in-app messaging is the conspicuous hole.
the verdict →
Lifecycle journeys driven by product events, with richer branching and much heavier operations.

Cart and product events can trigger branching email journeys; ecommerce integrations are yours to wire.
the catchDittofeed can trigger journeys from cart and product events, but it lacks Drip's turnkey ecommerce integrations, store-aware reporting, and revenue attribution unless you build them.
