By far the worst app I have used so far. I am not sure how anyone can give this more than one star. Too expensive for what you get. Horrible menue/navigation. The setup is overcomplicated for no reason. Even after 2 Klavio experts looked into it, several things are causing problems and are not working properly. Can't just pause my plan to fix the issues. The platform is loading very slowly and getting stuck regularly. It cost us lots of money and we had lots of upset customers. I had this professionally set up for our business. We had several issues with the system not doing what it was supposed to do. The first company looked into it and was able to fix some of the issues. We hired a second Klavio expert who was able to fix a few more, but we were still finding issues where customers get discount emails, follow-up emails, even though they had already completed their purchase. We tried to pause the plan to fix this - not possible. We had to delete most of our accounts, which was a nightmare to do with their inefficient system. That should have put us on a free plan until we would have been able to fix the problems, but no, you have to cancel your plan first. While choosing to cancel our plan only not our account, going through the steps, it deleted our whole account. $6000 in expert costs of setting up this useless platform - gone! We used this nightmare for 2 years.

the absolute WORST app I have EVER used for ANYTHING. One problem after another, you "fix" something and another issue comes up. Customer service does everything but provide the way to fix it. They all genuinely have no idea what they're doing. Do yourself a favor and look for a different app like Mailchimp or something cause this is the biggest piece of shit app I have ever used.
We're sorry to hear you haven't been satisfied with your experience at Klaviyo. A member of our Support leadership will be in touch shortly.

This is the worst app I have ever seen. It is horrible. Nothing works like it's supposed to. Why would anyone ever want to use this app? No native integration at all. This is stupid.
Email support is available for users on our free plan for the first 60 days - our Support team would be happy to help unblock any obstacles you're experiencing as you get up and running with Klaviyo.

Se quedaron con 10 días, porque facturaron antes y no me dejaron completar el mes. Me robaron aprox 100 usd o mas... Una lastima porque la app es buena.
Lamentamos tu experiencia negativa y queremos ayudarte. Un miembro de nuestro equipo de atención al cliente se ha puesto en contacto contigo.

I actually find it absurd that in order to get email or chat support I have to upgrade my plan?? "Your access to email support and live chat has expired. Check out plans for pricing and upgrade options."

Terrible customer service and it is not worthy for your money! Also, they do not return your money if you pay and decide to cancel the plan (we cancelled at the same day as we were charged and they have told us that are not refunding! !!)
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback, and we are very sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your support experience. I have double checked and it looks like our support team reached out to you directly!

Their new charging rules are very user-unfriendly, and their customer support is very poor, and the response efficiency is very low. Friends who want to use it, please consider carefully!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is vital to our future success, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Our support team has responded to your recent ticket and is eager to collaborate with you on a solution.

I have been using this app for some time now for multiple webshops. We do not focus so much on sending email campagnes so using a lower tier plan always was fine for us. Just before they announched upgraded their plan systems (ofc in a way they would end up making much more), we decided to up our plan ourselves for one store to start creating more campagnes and see if that would stick. So we got an email saying: our plan is 100 going to 150 with discount 25 = 125. Which is doable. Now just a few days after all the changes, it appeared that we grow just enough to go up in plan again. which means we are now paying 200 (-25) = 175. After deleting some sleeping customers it is not able to go back to the plan they told us we would be in. Basically we went from paying 30 a month to 175 a month in less then half a year. I guess having tons of customers and earning millions is not enough. Getting it from the small webshops you try to help is the way to go. I am definitely going to explore sending mails with shopify itself. Great service and very excited about the big guys trying their best to keep it real.
We've taken a number of steps to put our customers in control of their data and their plans, including providing the tools customers need to manage profiles so they can suppress those sleepy customers while maintaining their data for later. Playing with suppression will allow any customer to move to a smaller plan. However, we firmly believe the value of Klaviyo lies in the customer profile. The more engaged your audience, the more your business grows. Read more about our view here: https://www.klaviyo.com/blog/pricing-philosophy Additionally, it's important to highlight that we provide features that enable you to be more efficient and effective, such as generative AI, product recommendations, and mobile push. This ensures that as your business grows and your marketing strategies become more sophisticated, Klaviyo is equipped to support you.

Very dishonest company, emails are sent out claiming you can adjust your plan (because they auto upgrade you) I was told I can surpress my lists only to be told later you are no longer able to surpress lists. They refused to give me a refund so I am taking up with the bank!! Do not use them for emails! They make it very complicated to take your money.

Been using them for over 3 years. Between the price changes and the declining customer support, not to mention the LOW deliverability that they have, it is not worth it -- save your money and go elsewhere.

I can't believe they are starting to bill based on "active profiles" instead of emails / sms sent. What an absolute money grab that doesn't help businesses grow! Limit Customer / Merchant Growth = Limit Klaviyo's Growth. Not sure why that isn't straight forward. Going public for them was a mistake if this is the direction they chose! Come on Klaviyo! Get it together or lose a lot to your competitors.

Is it usual for the customer (me) to raise a support request and for that request to be closed within 24 hours without any response? Not the serivce I am hoping for looks to be $400USD per month.... update: Opened a second support request and again closed without being contacted....wow...smh.

I've been using Klaviyo for three years, but I'm switching to Shopify Email due to their recent cost structure changes. The pricing has become unreasonable, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. There are more affordable options that offer similar functionality without the excessive costs. I’d recommend others consider alternatives to avoid the unnecessary expense. Speak with your wallet. Klaviyo's price hikes are unacceptable.
Thank you for your feedback! Klaviyo exists to help you to understand your customers and drive growth from those relationships. If you have profiles that you are not emailing, we highly recommend that you suppress them. You do not pay for suppressed profiles, but you maintain the data so that you can unsuppress profiles in order to send communications to them at future times. If you prefer to keep them active, the Appreciation Discount that we’re offering to many loyal customers limits the email plan spend increase to 25%. We encourage customers to look for additional communications sent on Jan. 21 to best understand how these changes impact their specific plan and to understand our new flexible pricing features, including auto-downgrade and Flexible Sending.

Absolutely terrible service. Quick to constantly upgrade your account which cost more money but trying to get someone to help you is nearly impossible. Onboarding was fantastic but after that everything went downhill. Plus my conversions have never been as bad as they are with Klaviyo.
We are very sorry to hear this. A member of our Support leadership team will be reaching out to connect with you!

With their pricing changes, we have to pay TEN TIMES more than before. I received this message four days before the new price change.

Klaviyo recently sent an email to say that starting February 18, they will change their pricing policy from emails you sent to ACTIVE profiles that you have. Making my current plan 8 times more expensive than what it was before. I was sending emails to 5000 people only but have 30,000 active profiles. I contacted support about 3 tims to try to understand who those 30,000 people were exactly. One staff from the support tells me in order so know if they are good emails, you should make a test and send an email to everyone and than create a segment to be able to find the inactive profiles that I should delete. I did that. Automatically Klaviyo charges me 800$ (I was paying from 60 to 100$ per month for the last 4 years). I contacted support again to understand and lower my plan. I asked for a credit which an agent called Naranjini confirmed that she will give me. I was able to lower the active profiles from 30k to 15k within a week. This was really time consuming for me. Than Naranjini told me to take my time to clear up my list because I was really busy with the daily operations of my business and that the credit will be appled anyways. The ticket opened by Naranjini got closed automatically so I cannot contact her again to follow up with the credit. So I have to open another ticket with someone else and reexplain the whole story. I did it. Than it got transferred to billing. A guy called MATT sent me an email saying that I now do not want to reduce my plan (WHICH IS COMPLTELY FALSE) and because of that no credit will be applied. He is not aware of the isue and has not read my conversaton with Naranjini. In the email he tells me I am using 30k profiles now. Which is also wrong because I have 15k profiles in my account at the moment. He has not taking my request seriously, has not read anything and changes completely from what Naranjini had told me in the chat transcript. After more than 4 years of being a loyal customer, Klaviyo just lost me ... Im going elsewhere

Leider können wir die App absolut nicht empfehlen. Egal für wlechen Shop ich Klaviyo verwenden. Jedes, jedes, jedes, jedes mal suche ich nach dem Link um die Subscription Seite direkt aufzurufen. Unglaub das dieser so schlecht zu erreichen und versteckt ist!!!!!

Terrible changes to pricing!!! RUN AWAY and save your money! We have been a Klaviyo user for around 3 years now. We have around 13,000 active profiles in our list but we generally never send emails to all active profiles. We are on a 1000 active profile plan which allows us to send 10,000 emails (plan price $30/Month) and we are ok with these numbers. Now Klaviyo decides they want to make more money so on February 18, 2025 they are going to force us to move to a higher plan with 13,000 active profiles with 130,000 email sends automatically (plan set at $300/Month), that's a huge and unjustified jump especially given that we are not utilizing our current monthly email sends limit anyways. Honestly, these pricing changes do not make any sense given that the number of active profiles are simply data points in a database that costs Klaviyo nothing to keep. You should be charged for the number of email sends and not for the number of active profiles in a database. Totally non-sensical and greedy move! Save your money and move to another service at this point honestly.

disappointed that they have changed their pricing model so that I am locked into paying for my entire subscriber list even if I am not utilizing the entire list. The price split between paying for active profiles and amount of emails means you will always overpay. I would suggest seeking a cheaper alternative which I am now forced to do in order to save money. a shame as I have been using klaviyo for close to 4 years. but there are much much cheaper options

As an example, if a qualifying account is on a $150/month email plan but their Active Profile count would require a $1,070/month email plan, we would automatically apply a $882.50/month Appreciation Discount so the net monthly email spend would be $187.50/month (a $37.50 increase).
