More than 2,500 global brands use Braze to manage and personalise customer communications at scale.
The scale of Braze's infrastructure reflects its position in the market. The platform processes over 3.9 trillion messages and other actions, handles 8.6 trillion API calls annually, and powers 7.8 billion monthly active users. Gartner has named Braze a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs three years running.

Braze traces its origins to a 2011 hackathon, where it was originally founded under the name Appboy with a focus on mobile engagement. Since then it has expanded into a broader multichannel platform serving global brands across marketing technology, retail, media, and other sectors.
