Considered Both Products
Klaviyo
Chose Klaviyo
We have not really evaluated other offerings outside of Klaviyo because I understand Klaviyo to be best in class for our use case. I think it has the best integrations out there. We do use other platforms for SMS and customer reviews (Which I know are solutions that Klaviyo …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is more robust that Constant Contact and Aweber, yet no less easy to use. It's also every bit as feature-rich as Active Campaign, but easier to use. (in my opinion) They're customer support isn't as good as Constant Contacts, but the tradeoff is a more sophisticated ESP …
Chose Klaviyo
For ecommerce, MailChimp and Constant Contact do not compare with Klaviyo. While their builders are not different, and the ability to create pleasing emails are similar, the targeting, segmentation, and data available are worlds apart. That said, I have not used MailChimp or …
Chose Klaviyo
We evaluated MailChimp and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. MailChimp was too basic at the time and didn’t scale well. Salesforce was overly complex, required a large team, and was costly to integrate and manage daily. Klaviyo stood out for its ease of setup, user-friendly …
Chose Klaviyo
We used Mailchimp to start out, and it is great for a small customer base but as our customer base grew we needed more power and Klaviyo had it. Including so many different automated flows and integrations to other apps and a/b testing and more. I would still recommend …
Chose Klaviyo
MailChimp was adequate for basic email marketing, but Klaviyo offers a far superior experience with its advanced segmentation, automated flows, and deep integration with Shopify. Klaviyo’s behavioral data analysis and A/B testing provide more precise targeting, while its robust …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has better custom options as well as better dynamic content. Not just the Klaviyo works flawlessly in integration with Shopify which is a huge plus.

Moreover it allows me to actually use the custom html features unlike other products where I need to have full …
Chose Klaviyo
HubSpot has a more robust CRM, but there are things I prefer in Klaviyo. Namely the email builder and flow setup.
Chose Klaviyo
At the time we used Attentive, Klaviyo did not have an SMS product. Attentive was very difficult to use, and provided little to no detailed reporting/analytics. It was very expensive, and had no integration with our email customers. They only provided us a shared short code, …
Chose Klaviyo
I’ve been using it for a while, so I haven’t evaluated other opportunities.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo had better integrations and was easier to setup and getting running than the alternatives we had tried.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is the #1 email platform of choice for ecommerce. It out ranks every competitor. It is worth paying a little extra because you know you are providing your customers with the best experience and equipping your business for success. Email should be something you invest in …
Chose Klaviyo
We selected Klaviyo in 2018 when they were disrupting the space. They provided a lot of offerings for a value price.
Chose Klaviyo
Mailchimp is absolutely nothing compared to Klaviyo. Klaviyo's interface and functionality are far superior, and the types of emails and data analytic features are what have kept me a customer of Klaviyo for years. I am grateful for the benefit that Klaviyo has had for my …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo provides much more insight into customer data than other email marketing software. For this reason, they are much stronger for e-commerce businesses as the data it provides is very beneficial for e-commerce businesses.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is much much better for micro-segmentation needs especially in e-commerce.

Very simple to use as well.
Chose Klaviyo
Mailchimp was used early in the business when we didn't have as many customers and weren't segmenting. We've used Yotpo for loyalty, reviews, and, most recently, SMS. We have yet to try Klaviyo reviews or SMS, but it would be nice to have all of these items in one suite.
Chose Klaviyo
A different marketing manager used mailchimp and omnisend and she is no longer with the company to ask. Emotive terrible to work with and Klaviyo was incredible to work with after them. It has made a huge difference having SMS and email in one place.
Chose Klaviyo
The comparison of Mailchimp to Klaviyo is that Mailchimp is a very simple email platform that is good for small businesses that are just getting started, while Klaviyo is a more in-depth email marketing platform that is great for businesses looking to grow and succeed in email …
Chose Klaviyo
As I explained, it was superior to MailChimp for sure. Attentive had more SMS features, but Klaviyo does what I need for SMS, and the fact that it has email & SMS in a single platform, with the ability to create campaigns and flows that use both, makes it a win.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo doesn't necessarily need data architects or engineers to support or tie the data together. Salesforce Marketing Cloud typically requires a partner, data architect and/or someone who knows SQL. The email templates and help documentation are extremely easy to use and …
Chose Klaviyo
Mailchimp is super outdated, and for a while there they lost their integration with Shopify. Attentive started out with only being a SMS platform, not email. So because of that, we did not want to migrate everything over to Attentive once they launched email since everything …
Sitecore Send
Chose Sitecore Send
I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing …
Chose Sitecore Send
Simple yet powerful email marketing tool designed to automate every aspect of email marketing so that email marketers can perform tasks faster and engage with visitors in an accurate and timely manner.
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend is known as more of an industry standard than BuzzStream (which is a more budget tool), and it shows. BuzzStream has clearly cut corners in areas of usability and general UI, where Moosend, on the other hand, seems to have done it right from the beginning. Moosend is so …
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend was the most affordable and the easiest to use. Moosend seemed to have the best reviews as far as we read. We wanted to try something new and so far have had nothing but success; however, those other programs may be just as good. We went with Moosend based on reviews …
Chose Sitecore Send
The simple interface and lower cost. Simple automation in a couple of clicks easy to set up.
Chose Sitecore Send
We use both MailChimp and Moosend, and I prefer to use MailChimp for most campaigns. As compared to MailChimp, I think it is more difficult to manage lists on Moosend. It's also harder to preview past campaigns, review campaign performance, or manage saved templates for …

Likelihood to Recommend
Klaviyo performs exceptionally well as a newsletter service, helping our tabletop gaming company educate customers, retailers, distributors, media, and press on our product offerings and events. It has significantly boosted sales by allowing us to provide targeted and engaging content. Klaviyo’s robust data reporting allows us to track newsletter attribution to Shopify sales, offering invaluable insights. Customer service is fantastic, always helpful and responsive. However, recurring bugs and glitches—such as issues with font size, color, text block sizes changing on their own, or text disappearing entirely and forcing you to restart a section—can be very frustrating, impacting the smoothness of the user experience. The gains far outweigh the downsides.

Cons
  • At times the platform isn't as intuitive as you would like. Take the time to be onboarded and play around in the platform to get the hang of things. Utilize Klaviyo's resources and attend their live training sessions to help navigate the platform and implement best practices they recommend.
  • Can be pricey depending on company and email list.
  • Customization is limited at times. The brand font we utilized on all branded content wasn't available through Klaviyo. Previously we would have to go through the back end to implement our branded font, import our font, or create content on another platform to utilize our font.

  • If you have more than 1000 subscribers you will be required to upgrade to the Pro plan.
  • Free plan users have limited customer support.

Klaviyo is simply a great solution for e-com email marketing & customer relationship management:
  1. User journey visibility: We can see our clients' customers on their individual user journeys (open email, site visits) to better understand and accommodate your customers.
  2. Flow automation: Creating automated emails that follow up with new leads, those who abandoned carts, purchased.
  3. Email design: So easy to use, and more friendly than some other visual builders that we've used.
  4. Metrics visibility: We can see our clients' metrics very easily and adjust efforts accordingly.

Usability
It's a decent platform with a user friendly interface, however it massively misses trust due to unsecured systems and support from customer service; support is a massive problem if you run a company and have a problem with the service that you can't fix. On the other side of the line, in our experience, there is no support or understanding which we haven't encountered with any other company we have done business online in the last decade.

Pretty straight forward but it takes sometime to get used to. Not exactly like WordPress or other open source cms but it gets the job done

Support Rating
Their support is always quick and we have recurring meetings with our advisor. they were great when we first started at walking us through the platform and helping us understand how to do the overall setup. They also have a wide variety of articles that cover must issues in a very clear manner that will get you out of a predicament really fast.

Don't cut corners, do it right the first time, if you take your time to build everything the way you want it then it will run itself. The platform will help you increase revenue as long as you use the tools it provides. Don't be scared to ask questions, the support team will help you get to the next level

We used Mailchimp to start out, and it is great for a small customer base but as our customer base grew we needed more power and Klaviyo had it. Including so many different automated flows and integrations to other apps and a/b testing and more. I would still recommend Mailchimp if you have less than 5,000 contacts but anything over that you need Klaviyo.

I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing the communication among the customers and company. Nothing can beat this application in making work flow, and we admit its strategies to make the company marketing strong and in the pipeline are also in consideration to put forward for implementation.

Return on Investment
  • we have grown our revenue significantly without increasing our spend. This is critical.
  • retention rate has gone up tremendously with specific campaigns and audience targeting
  • would love to personalize more but we are a small team and struggle to do as much as we could. It would be great to have an account manager who could make account based recommendations

  • Moosend is quite affordable (500,000 emails for $500), so it's easy to see an ROI. It only takes a few recipients converting to make a campaign worth the spend.
