About Segment
Segment solved the tracking-pixel mess: instrument events once, then route them to hundreds of analytics, marketing, and warehouse destinations with toggles instead of engineering tickets. As Twilio’s CDP it added identity resolution and audiences. MTU-based pricing surprises fast-growing apps, and warehouse-native rivals now challenge the model, but the integration catalog remains the moat.
