Is the Klaviyo Worth It?

Best email marketing for ecommerce. If you sell products online, Klaviyo's store data and flows will earn back its price many times, and no other platform here comes close on that. For anything that is not a store it is expensive and complicated.

Klaviyo Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Abandoned-cart flow built from templates in minutes with product data already there
  • Predicted next-order date and lifetime value on every profile
  • 96% inbox placement
  • SMS in the same flows
Cons
  • $100 at 5,000 profiles — most expensive here
  • Overkill for a newsletter or a service business
  • Steeper learning curve
