Frequently asked questions
Is Klaviyo better than Mailchimp for e-commerce?
Yes. Klaviyo's data model was designed around store events, so segments, flows and attribution are more accurate out of the box than Mailchimp's e-commerce module.
How much does Klaviyo cost at 25,000 contacts?
Email-only sits around $400/month at 25k active profiles. Adding SMS pushes the bill higher depending on send volume.
Does Klaviyo integrate with Shopify?
Yes — it is a certified Shopify Plus partner and pulls orders, browse events and product catalog by default.
Is there a free plan?
Klaviyo offers a free tier for up to 250 contacts and 500 monthly email sends.
