Klaviyo: Email Marketing & SMS

They got greedy! I've been their customer since 2017, and I only send emails every now and then. My only use for Klaviyo is their flows and email forms to automate my business for $25 per month, which includes a 5,000-email allocation. I have 17,000 email subscribers, but I'm not a heavy sender—I only send emails during holidays and sales. Now, their recent change is forcing me to pay $400 per month—a massive jump from $25—just because of active email profiles. What a shame. They got greedy. I'm now in the process of switching to a new email provider, and I'm sure there are better options out there. Goodbye, Klaviyo. Hopefully, you rethink this long-term decision because you're losing loyal customers like me.

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!!!!!

Gettting too expensive

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.

Déçu par cette application Qui Surfacture et Harcèle Après Avoir Rompue L'abonnement Vraiment Dommage

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

I have installed this app after many months of research and had finally the time to set it up after Q4. And then I was in complete disbelief after they have updated the prices on 21.1.25. I should pay more than 600$ for over 35k "active" users. Why should I pay for users, that are don't even subscribed to our newsletter? I dont need to send out 350k emails a month?? The monthly fee should be calculated for the actual subscriber list/sent out emails per month. I got only 2000 active subscribers. You can't even talk to a real human beeing, unless you pay. I wanted a subscripton, but not with this incredible price politics. The chat bot told me to surppress all other accounts, that are not subscribed to the newsletter. Ok fine, but then I can't reach any customers that abandoned a cart, when they did not accepted newsletter marketing? This is not worth the money. Who did this price change and thought this was a good idea? Watching the reviews, I'm not the only one.. So I'm sticking to the free Email Program from shopify. You can setup flows aswell

Pretty useless customer service. Probably one of the worst I've ever encountered. I've spent weeks being bounced between different operators, going back and forth talking about the same thing and it just simply seemed like nobody knew what were they actually doing there. I was getting the same canned messages over and over again. The issue I had was so simple that should have literally been resolved in seconds, but here we are...second week now, and we are right where we started! Meanwhile I noticed they closed my case and marked it as "resolved" ha-ha.

Been using Klaviyo since the very start of the business in 2021. Now, with a change of pricing policy will be forced to move to another service. Absolute scam of charging $1k+ for "active" profiles that I'm not even sending emails to.

A Cataclysmic Change That Puts Long-Time Customers at Risk I have been a loyal Klaviyo customer for the past 6 years, sending around 2 emails a week to less than 5000 contacts. I recently learned about their new policy that will charge me for every active profile—a massive price hike from $100 per month to $860 per month for hosting all my profiles. This change came with almost no notice and I now have less than 3 weeks to suppress over 75% of my hard-earned, paid-for email profiles. Why would Klaviyo risk losing customers like me, especially after 6 years of loyalty? I barely use the service to its full potential—why should I pay for profiles I don’t actively use? This is an incredibly disruptive change, and frankly, it feels like Klaviyo has given no thought to how it will affect smaller, long-time customers. I hoped Klaviyo would rethink this price change or, at the very least, give us more time to determine which profiles to keep active. But instead, I feel forced to look for a more affordable platform that can offer better value. For me, Klaviyo is simply not worth more than $100/month anymore, and I’m deeply disappointed in how they’ve handled this change. Adding: Klaviyo response doesn't address my issues at all. More time to reduce emails would be much more appreciated than 25% off... Seriously? 25% off of $860/month? Are you thinking I'll just make the jump from $100/month to $645 per month?

Klaviyo Inc. regarding unfair and unethical billing practices. For the billing period of December 28, 2024, to January 27, 2025, I was charged $8,180.87, despite being enrolled in a plan clearly outlined at $4,088.50. I have provided Klaviyo with documentation confirming the agreed-upon amount for my plan. Despite this, the company has refused to issue a refund or offer any resolution. Their refusal to rectify this issue is not only disappointing but raises serious concerns about their billing practices and customer support. Additionally, upon further investigation, I have discovered numerous similar complaints from other businesses regarding Klaviyo's unfair and unethical billing. This pattern of behavior suggests systemic issues that need to be addressed to prevent further harm to consumers. I respectfully request that Klaviyo: Issue a full refund of the overcharged amount ($8,180.87 - $4,088.50 = $4,092.37). Conduct a review of their billing processes to ensure transparency and accuracy moving forward.

If you need service and no one responds its Klaviyo. I have had the worst customer service or no service from this company. When you try to get help there is often no one on the chat and you wait and wait and finally give up after an or hour or two. When they want you to signup they are very fast in responding and you get impressed by how great their service is but after you sign up, no one is there to find you. Stay away as far as you can because after sweet talk, there is no talk.

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!

I would give a 0 if possible. DO NOT SWITCH to klaviyo. We have been in business for 9 years and when we switched to K, our 60% open rate dropped to 20% and all of our emails land in SPAM. All they could say was it was losing consumer confidence and we have to do their "reputation repair" Klaviyo totally screwed us on all big sales. Any one have any idea who else would be a better alternative? Need to get out of klaviyo ASAP

Sämta appen jag har varit med om, har gett dom två chanser för jag ville verkligen få detta att fungera men det går bara inte. ingen support, ingen live chat, inget telefonnummer. Du vet inte hur mycket du ska betala tills du får en faktura på tusentals kronor. Hela systemet är gammalt och svårt och avancerat att använda. Jag recommender inte denna överdrivet dyra app med ingen support bakom tyvärr.

It's expensive and the customer support is terrible.

Does not supress marketplace order information like other app at a top level such as Judge Me. Extremely poor customer service and was advised that shopify is responsible for this app. Shopify customer service has advised this is klaviyo's responsibility.

This app turned all of my shopify customers into subscribers. Illegal. I have no way to un do the damage done to my customer list that took me 6 months to build.

I want to cancel the $15 SMS package but when I do it myself the system cancels everything including my emails even though it is the SMS that I want to cancel. Weronika says that they cannot cancel this service on their side that I no longer want. IT LOOKS LIKE A HOSTAGE TAKING
