Insider and PEKO solve different problems. Insider is a customer data system. PEKO is the AI loyalty and retention layer that sits on top — predicting which guests are about to stop coming back and automating personalised win-back. This page compares them honestly so you can decide whether to run one, the other, or both.
- TL;DR
- PEKO is a loyalty layer; Insider stays your system of record.
- PEKO adds AI churn prediction + automated Zalo OA / email / SMS win-back that Insider doesn't.
- Vietnamese venues using Insider typically bolt PEKO on for Zalo OA and local channels.
What is Insider? Global growth-management platform with CDP, web personalisation and cross-channel messaging.
Choose PEKO when
- You want an venue-focused retention layer that complements an enterprise CDP — not to switch your existing tool.
- You need AI to flag customers who haven't rebooked in their usual window and re-engage them automatically.
- You operate in Vietnam or Southeast Asia where Insider has limited local channel support (Zalo OA, Momo).
- You want a free tier and 15-minute setup, not a long procurement cycle.
Choose Insider when
- You don't yet have a CDP and want Insider's core product as your system of record.
- Your priority is enterprise CDP unification across many digital channels more than retention automation.
- You're happy to run loyalty as a manual side-task inside Insider rather than letting AI drive it.

| Setup time for the loyalty layer | ~15 minutes | Tied to platform onboarding |
| Pricing for the loyalty layer | Free tier + transparent monthly | Bundled into platform plans |

FAQ
Do I have to drop Insider to use PEKO?
No. PEKO is explicitly designed as a loyalty layer on top of tools like Insider. You keep their CDP; PEKO ingests transactions or appointments and runs the AI retention layer on top.
What does PEKO add that Insider doesn't?
PEKO predicts which guests are about to stop coming back within a 3-day window, writes personalised win-back messages and triggers them across Zalo OA, email and SMS. Insider focuses on data unification, with loyalty as a secondary feature.
Does PEKO work for Vietnamese operators who already use Insider?
Yes. Vietnamese venues commonly run Insider for their core workflow and add PEKO for Zalo OA win-back, Momo vouchers and AI churn prediction in Vietnamese.
