What a fantastic start to 2025! We are excited to share that CleverTap has been recognized as a Niche Player in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines by Gartner, an independent industry analyst firm.

Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a wide-angle view of the relative positions of providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct. Providers are positioned into four markets: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, and Niche Players. The research enables you to get the most from market analysis in alignment with your unique business and technology needs.

We believe the recognition from Gartner is a strong testament to CleverTap’s unmatched capabilities to deliver the right personalization for real experiences across multiple channels.

CleverTap: A Trusted Personalization Partner

CleverTap was founded in 2013 to help brands elevate their customer engagement and retention programs. Over the years, the CleverTap platform has been widely adopted across industries and geographies and today it is trusted by over 2,000 brands globally.

Let’s look at what makes CleverTap the go-to platform of choice:

Hyper-Personalized Experiences

CleverTap platform’s comprehensive L1 to L4 personalization schema enables businesses to capture customer interactions at four levels of personalization:

  • Demographic (L1): Aligns messaging, product recommendations, and promotions to customers’ demographic segmentation, such as age, gender, location, etc. 
  • Behavioral (L2): Provides personalized recommendations and helps drive targeted marketing and re-engagement campaigns based on customers’ behavioral data, such as past actions and events.
  • Psychographic (L3): Provides predictive recommendations and helps drive intent-based engagement and customized content experience based on customers’ psychographic segmentation, such as interest and intent.
  • Real-Time (L4): Leverages real-time customer data to trigger immediate and highly relevant messages.

Switching from just L1 levels of personalization to the right mix of all four levels for specific use cases helps you boost conversions by 7x. CleverTap helps you achieve:

Living Cartography

The CleverTap platform has been designed on the tenets of the “living cartography” concept. A living cartography is defined as a living and breathing technological architecture that is agile and adapts to a brand’s unique requirements. We offer diverse capabilities that help manage every stage of the customer engagement lifecycle, including: 

  • Customer data and activation (CDP)
  • Customer relationship management (CRM)
  • Customer engagement management (CEM)
  • Marketing, customer, and product analytics (DAP)

These capabilities are interconnected yet independent, providing the flexibility to any organization to choose what capabilities they want to meet their goals. Instead of a fixed tech stack that is prone to failure due to disruption of any layer, a living cartograph is a dynamic system in which various components are not dependent on each other and can operate as a standalone feature as well as a part of the whole system.

Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) Capabilities

AI innovation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. From being a distant pipedream, AI has become commonplace, particularly with the advent of GenAI in 2023. At CleverTap, we believe that AI will soon help businesses drive completely autonomous decision-making, without the need for any manual intervention.

Our robust AI engine, Clever.AI, is purpose-built to help brands stay ahead of the curve. It provides real-time, actionable insights to enable you to level up your customer engagement and retention strategies. Its capabilities include:   

  • IntelliNODE, which automatically routes users through the best-performing journey path in real-time, thereby maximizing conversions.
  • Scribe, which generates personalized and emotionally intelligent content that resonates with the targeted users.
  • Predictions, which bring together the power of AI and TesseractDBTM, CleverTap’s proprietary and industry-leading database for customer engagement and retention, to help you accurately anticipate customer needs and business outcomes.
  • Recommendations, which leverage customer profile and behavior data to deliver personalized recommendations in real time.

Verticalization

Our vision is to empower brands to unlock unlimited customer lifetime value. While the CleverTap all-in-one platform has been purpose-built to enable this, it also provides nuanced functionalities for industry-specific use cases across e-commerce, banking and financial services, gaming, streaming, and other industries:

  • E-commerce: Boost purchases and reduce churn with immersive omnichannel onboarding experiences, personalized recommendations, loyalty programs, and more.
  • Financial Services: Enhance active customer engagement, number of transactions, and customer retention with personalized omnichannel journeys, live customer segmentation, auto-triggered re-engagement campaigns, and more.
  • Gaming: Streamline the entire process of player onboarding, monetization, and reactivation, with experience optimization, omnichannel engagement, personalized offers, and more.
  • Streaming: Boost the number of subscriptions, maximize revenue per user, and reduce churn with advanced segmentation, seamless omnichannel experiences, automated retention campaigns, and more.

The Journey Ahead

As customer expectations continue to evolve, brands are being compelled to rethink their business models and marketing strategies to deliver hyper-personalized and meaningful experiences that translate into lasting customer relationships. In an era where economic uncertainties make customer acquisition exceptionally challenging, precision targeting and personalization have emerged as the strongest tools in a marketer’s arsenal to improve retention, reduce churn, and drive business value.

To succeed, brands today need an integrated and forward-looking approach underpinned by data-driven strategies, real-time and actionable insights, AI capabilities, and predictive analytics. Anticipating customer needs and delivering the right message at the right time through the right channel has become business imperative today to not just strengthen customer engagement and retention but also drive brand differentiation.

CleverTap empowers brands across industries and geographies to optimize engagement, enhance retention, and maximize business value with its all-in-one platform. By combining advanced analytics, automated workflows, AI-powered capabilities, and industry-specific functionalities, the platform enables marketers to deliver hyper-personalized experiences and turn customers into long-term advocates.
