Klaviyo: Email Marketing & SMS

thank you. klavio is one of the indispensable applications.

Man, If I could give 10 Stars I would, so 5 will have to do. Great Job Klaviyo!

Klaviyo has been great marketing tool to advance my business

Efficient and effective tool. A must for CRM and email marketing.

Allows us to manage our customer profiles so seamlessly.

Shocking customer service from the douchebags at Klaviyo. Been with them for 3 years now. Generally all ok. However we've recently reduced the number of contacts/profiles in our email list quite significantly (by around 50,000). We expected this to have a significant effect on our monthly bills, but it seems Klaviyo is still taking out the same monthly amount as they were prior to the reduction in profiles.

I've spoken to them via live chat and email today, and was told that Klaviyo does not automatically adjust its billing down if the amount of profiles is reduced. Convenient. They were capable of automatically increasing our bills when our profile list was growing. But apparently they don't do this when the profile lists decrease.

Even so I thought that once I'd pointed out that we did reduce our list size last month, and therefore this month's bill should be significantly smaller (by about $550), they would agree to refund me the difference, but they basically told me to check my terms and conditions and get lost. They wont refund me the difference.

I am pretty dumbstruck by this. This seems very underhanded to me. Even if it's in the T's and C's to not do the right thing here stinks.

Obviously they've now lost all of our business.

Update 5th January 2025:

after a bit of back and forth with Klaviyo's billing team, and getting nowhere, I decided to leave negative reviews in as many places as I could think. Miraculously 2 days after doing this I had an email from their management offering me the refund they should have given me in the first place. Just goes to show the power of reviews I guess!

Klaviyo's UI is a bit more well-designed and usable than Mailchimp. We switched in order to be able to have more flexibility for what Klaviyo calls "flows" and Mailchimp called "automations".

It's definitely not great though. There are lots of insane caveats. For example there's no way to click on a user and tell where they are in a flow. And there's no way to add more content to the end of a flow and just have it automatically go to everyone that should be sitting and waiting at the end for more.

When we test our emails with mail-tester.com they almost always get flagged with Klaviyo having an IP address in one or more blacklists. Mailchimp never had that problem.

Klaviyo also pointlessly requires a Captcha on every single login.

Awesome tool and the support is from another world! Recommended!

Fraudulent company, scamming money for Free plan!!
they invoiced me for the Free plan and say that I had a paid plan, although I changed to a Free plan 2 months ago and the money was not taken from my bank account, then suddenly I don't know why Klaviyo announced that I never had a Free plan and that's why I now pay absurdity and SHAMELESSNESS!

Be careful they are scammers!!

when I asked for a refund, they suggested Cancel subscription :D - nice service, what can I say!

A very poor customer service :(
I'm brand new, I don't have any clients yet, and when I tried the Klaviyo app, all emails went directly to spam.
so...My ability to use this app is limited by this fundamental flaw. When I wrote to Klaviyo support, I received a reply that they did not offer any help if I had a free plan and suggested that I purchase a paid plan, however, since I'm a newbie, the paid plans are not good for me....
the very unpleasant situation.. it turns out their application requires payment to work at all in my case ... ugh bad attitude :(

love klayvio, their support is super helpful as well
