The problem with Instagram these days is that it is very easy to be tempted by something that doesn't sound feasible for the price, only to discover that itwasn't/isn't. We are a very small business, and yet we need to use all the tools used by the larger businesses. We were using Kalviyo, and yes, it was good, and yes, we were not using it to its fullest extent because, quite frankly, we're too small, with not enough time to make as much use as we maybe would like to. My biggest gripe, therefore, was a) the monthly emails we would get telling us that we were reaching our limits and b) the monthly bill, which, whilst not large compared to many, was something that was becoming more and more difficult to justify.
I decided after a little bit of umming and ahhing to bite the bullet and make the switch. I am absolutely delighted to have done so. Not only was the transition as painless as it was promised, but without all the add-on features being added by Klaviyo, the Spoks platform is easy to use, easy to understand and with the mobile apps I can check on my campaigns and flows on the move and even start drafting a new campaign on the move too! I am sure there are some fancy things I could have done with Klaviyo that i might not be able to do with Spoks, but ultimately who cares. This is a very tidy program, with a clean interface and I love it.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are very thankful that you shared your experience with Spoks with us.
Best, David
Nice and simple - easy to use. Does not get anywhere near klaviyo in functionality. Flows are challenging as the yes/no splitting is handled in a cumbersome way using filters. Another recently discovered failing is that it does not sync contacts or subscribers into shopify when they sign up in spoks - bit of a fundamental failing. However, it saves me a fortune, so i am hoping it will develop quickly to plug some of these shortcomings, then maybe i'll raise my star rating a bit.
Happy to hear we're saving you a fortune.
We ship new updates daily, and based on what we hear from our customers, most former Klaviyo users find that Spoks has everything they need. For the most advanced users there may still be a few features missing. In those cases, we always encourage reaching out in the support chat, so we can either suggest an alternative solution or prioritize building the feature.
Regarding contact syncing back into Shopify: this is currently in development and should be live within a couple of weeks.
The flow builder can feel a bit cumbersome for the more branched setups, but most use cases are achievable today. If anyone gets stuck, our support team is always happy to help set things up. An upgraded flow editor interface is also coming soon.
Please feel free to email me at david@spoks.com any other features you feel are missing.
Best regards,
David, CEO
A fantastic product backed by exceptional support
After using Klaviyo for nearly five years, the cost of our plan had increased significantly. What began as an affordable solution became increasingly expensive as our email list grew.
Since moving to Spoks, we have reduced our monthly costs and found the email builder much easier to use. The attribution also feels more accurate, but the biggest difference is the support. There is a knowledgeable, responsive team of real people available when you need help.
We are extremely pleased we made the switch.
Thank you for such a generous review! Hearing that the switch cut your costs and that the builder and attribution feel better is exactly what we hope for. We're always here when you need us.

Customer support at this company is truly on another level. It is in a league of its own compared to anything I have experienced with similar services.
During the setup process, I ran into a few issues, but after a quick email exchange with their support team, everything was resolved smoothly and professionally. The response times were excellent, the communication was clear, and it was obvious that they genuinely cared about helping me succeed rather than simply closing a support ticket.
As for the value for money, I can honestly say that after only one week as a customer, this service has already proven itself to be a sound investment. The features, reliability, and overall quality far exceed what I expected for the price.
One thing I particularly appreciate is the transparent pricing model. Unlike many competing platforms that seem affordable at first but become increasingly expensive as your business grows, this service allows me to scale without worrying about hidden fees, unexpected price increases, or being penalized for success. That level of transparency gives me confidence that I can continue to grow with them as a long-term partner.
It is rare to find a company that combines exceptional customer support, fair pricing, and a genuinely customer-focused approach. Based on my experience so far, I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable platform backed by a team that truly cares about its customers.
Thank you so much! Support is something we care deeply about, so this means a lot to the whole team. Glad we got your setup sorted quickly!

After years with other email providers, I am so glad I switched to Spoks. It's super easy to use; I am not tech-savvy at all. I can always reach someone if I have any questions, and you can't beat the pricing. It's the best email provider on the market!
Thank you! Making Spoks easy for everyone, tech-savvy or not, is exactly what we aim for. Happy to have you with us!
David
Excellent service. I'm saving lots. Yes, there is room for improvement - such as integrations here and there, but given the cost, I'm very happy.
Thank you! We ship new updates daily, so if there is a specific integration you are missing, let us know in the support chat and we'll see what we can do.

We onboarded in under a day about 3 - 4 weeks ago and honestly, this isn't about the phenomenal savings the app offers compared to our previous email provider.
We have experienced the best customer service I've seen in over 15 years of operating in e-comm - and they beat their predecessor hands down in responsiveness - and I can't overstate the importance of this when a company is moving their most valuable app asset, it's scary. Not an issue with these guys.
The app is completely intuitive to use and so much easier than previous. The deliverability is way above the previous which is what it comes down to in cold hard commercial terms.
There are some features still to be developed but any questions I've asked relating to these has been answered with confidence.
As you can gather, we can't recommend this app highly enough. Best cost saving and improvement to my business I've made for years.
Wow, thank you! Onboarding in under a day and the best customer service in 15 years of e-comm, we could not ask for a better review. We'll keep the responsiveness up!

A friend told me they had seen an ad for Spoks but not tried them yet. I was skeptical, but willing to test it. I started slowly, with two simple flows and a handful of weekly emails ... some of my flows got messed up when importing from another provider, but the Spoks people held my hand and walked me through it step by step, and when it got to be too much for me, they went into my account and did it themselves. I've been with them for over 3 months now and I have no regrets. They really listen to their customers and are always adding new features to make our lives easier. Highly recommend Spoks!
Thank you so much, Juliana! We’re glad you gave Spoks a try and that our team could help make the move easier. We really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. David
I have a small business and was so tired of paying Klavio such high prices. I decided to trust the reviews I read and give Spok a shot. I am floored. The integration with Klavio was simple. The one issue holding me back was our flows and would I have to recreate them? Even those integrated seamlessly. And the support has been instant and so helpful. David and Martin are so responsive and have helped with every question I have had.
SWITCH! We need to grow our lists.. but not pay more for doing so. I am thrilled and so impressed. Thank you David and Martin!
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled the move from Klaviyo felt smooth and that your flows came over easily. Martin and I really appreciate the kind words and we’re excited to keep supporting your growth. David
