Why Nacelle is the smarter choice

Segment-Based Personalization

Nacelle’s LLM-powered segmentation engine goes beyond basic web interactions, allowing marketers to incorporate nuanced data—such as offline or first-party information—to create hyper-specific segments. While Nosto offers solid personalization, it lacks the same flexibility for unique data sources or complex use cases.

Composable Architecture

Built with a headless-friendly, microservices approach, Nacelle integrates seamlessly with your existing tech stack. This makes it ideal for businesses looking to scale without re-platforming. Nosto’s architecture, while robust, is less future-focused and adaptable for modern commerce ecosystems

Cost-Efficient Scalability

Nacelle’s pricing model ensures predictable costs as your business scales, unlike Nosto, which may face performance and cost-effectiveness challenges with very large catalogs or high traffic volumes.

Strategic, Hands-On Support

Nacelle positions itself as a partner, not just a vendor. Dedicated strategic guidance ensures marketers maximize the solution’s potential. Nosto’s support model, while responsive, can be limited for more complex customizations or advanced integrations.
