Considered Both Products
Klaviyo
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is the known industry standard. It easily integrates with Shopify and Google Analytics. This helps us to track conversions more easily and with greater accuracy. Although other products can integrate and offer pretty much the same service, we decided to move forward …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo integrates better with Shopify and it is more counterintuitive to our marketing needs.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo beat all the other competitors. The pricing structure is just too hard to beat, and the customization/personalization, and the usability is just amazing.
Chose Klaviyo
We moved from MailChimp to Klaviyo around ~2019, and Klaviyo already had an integration that gracefully synced all our data. At the time, we particularly preferred Klaviyo's A/B testing tools over MailChimp's, and the rest of their feature suite helped us stay. We still use …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo's ability to really tackle the entire marketing contact ecosystem on one platform is what really won us over. The price for everything was competitive, not necessarily the cheapest but competitive, and the ability to see that data flow from every interaction was what …
Chose Klaviyo
I use other products in other businesses and for clients. Klaviyo is preferred by our IT/developer, was better cost, and overall, is slightly simpler to manage.
Chose Klaviyo
Costs more but much more customizable in every aspect. The WYSIWYG editor is far more robust and allows us full customization. Also its ability to sync easily accross multiple apps and platforms make it a no brainer if you are adding multiple tech apps to your site.
Chose Klaviyo
SurveyMonkey, Handshake by Shopify (discontinued) and Shopify
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is better for eCommerce businesses. It integrates better with other apps, has more features, and is customisable, so we can reflect the branding in the emails we build.
Chose Klaviyo
I moved from Klaviyo's email platform to Seguno about 6 months ago and am preferring Seguno. It's right in the Shopify dashboard and very easy to use. The email creation process is more intuitive vs. Klaviyo and it's significantly less expensive, so a better option for small …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has a very intimate integration with Shopify bringing in purchasing behaviour, browsing behavior, total spend, order value, ordered products, etc. Klaviyo's automated email journeys are way more complex and support multiple IF conditions, which allows granular …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has been email capabilities
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is leaps and bounds above Mailchimp. We just switched from MailChimp because we outgrew it. That is actually my recommended path to take while starting out. MailChimp had a free plan up to 5000 emails. Once we hit that, we switched and got an email marketing team and …
Chose Klaviyo
We switched from MailChimp to Klaviyo as we felt Klaviyo was better suited to our needs as we were growing.
Chose Klaviyo
It is different from them, especially because of its use in e-commerce and data-driven marketing. While IT provides segmentation, behavior tracking, and automation flows, Mailchimp is good for running simple campaigns and smaller organizations. We have chosen IT because it …
Chose Klaviyo
It had the best flexibility for templating, and also for segmentation and dynamic content compared to others we used/demo'd when deciding to change provider. Overall, it gave us more control. Instead of working around the platform, we can shape it around what we’re trying to do.
Chose Klaviyo
Found Klaviyo easier to use and had more functions than mailchimp.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is easy to use if you can stomach the cost. Probably has too much that most brands don't need, yet you pay for anyways.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo delivers a better experience for designing, managing, and operating as a whole. Just about every feature is best; the only flaw is that Attentive has more robust signup flows, but it makes up for it with its great overall UX. When it comes to designing templates, design …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has always been the most efficient and most strategic email marketing tool I've used for e-commerce businesses. No matter what industry, it does a fantastic job.
Chose Klaviyo
Some other solutions are overly simplified, limiting control and flexibility, whereas others are so complex that execution becomes extremely burdensome and creates long lead times. We found Klaviyo to have the best balance.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is the best email marketing and CRM platform when it comes to eCommerce brands and Shopify integration. We can plan and analyse the audience and segments in depth, where we see the power of well-integrated email automation capabilities and more.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo simply has more features, better integrations and better a/b testing and reporting. Klaviyo is the dominant market player and it’s hard to run an e-commerce business if you don’t have a tool at Klaviyo’s level. The other tools also were a bit harder to navigate as well …
Chose Klaviyo
Shopify's built in options are just not enough. It can do the basic "Here's you order" or "Status update". But you can't control nearly enough emails at scale with just the usage of Shopify's built in options.
MailerLite
Chose MailerLite
MailerLite is heads and heels above the others. It is easier to use and allows more subscribers before wanting more money
Chose MailerLite
We have tried a couple of others but not in any depth. I found the pricing structure of MailerLite better for our early needs as we didn't know how we would use it, and how that use would evolve as we grew.
Chose MailerLite
I moved to Constant Contact from MailerLite as the reporting and segmentation was deeper. But the editor and the lack of decent forms and landing pages soon brought me back to MailerLite.

Mailchimp got too expensive.
Chose MailerLite
It's cheaper and way better supported. Unlike Mailchimp, MailerLite supports small businesses and does not charge until you hit 1,000 subscribers.
Chose MailerLite
It seemed complicated to me, MailerLite is easier to use and more transparent.

Nekem bonyolultnak tűnt, a MailerLite könnyebben használható, átláthatóbb.
Chose MailerLite
Better CS even during our free plan, they were hands-on with helping us whenever we needed it.
Chose MailerLite
MailerLite offers a similar service to MailChimp, but is less expensive. Hopefully the customer service with MailerLite will be better even with the tiered structure of customer service.
Chose MailerLite
The cost and flexibility to do what we need is why we went to MailerLite.
Chose MailerLite
We chose MailerLite compared to the other one's listed because of the free live chat on the free tier.
Chose MailerLite
it's pretty much the same, even has some more restrictions that mailchimp when compared.
Chose MailerLite
It's better value for money. The service is quicker and more helpful.
Chose MailerLite
I selected MailerLite because the free version has all the capabilities I need now and is not time-limited. The paid versions are much more reasonably priced than competitors. I plan to upgrade to the paid version soon so that was a key concern for me. MailerLite lets me get …
Chose MailerLite
I didn't like Mailchimps pricing at the time of my decision. I preferred to ramp up in smaller segments of price/month. I also liked MailerLite's automation UX.
Chose MailerLite
MailerLite is easier to use and has a better user interface in my opinion
Chose MailerLite
I haven't used any others, but I was considering Mailchimp
Chose MailerLite
I moved over from Mailchimp because it became too expensive. MailerLite gives me even more value for a better price.
Chose MailerLite
Cheaper, mainly. And a little more user-friendly. Some other platforms, especially Klaviyo, are quite complex to understand and to get the most out of.
Chose MailerLite
The company I wanted to mention isn't in your dropdown list: BEACONS. While they're more like LinkTree, they also have a great feature to build a newsletter following and their AI prompts encourage you to send more newsletter blasts and then help write the e-mail for you with …

User Testimonials
KlaviyoMailerLite
Likelihood to Recommend
For us, the ability to apply properties and segment users as we do has been the biggest boon to our marketing endeavors. We use hundreds of properties to ensure customers receive truly tailored content. Being able to build that out with the Klaviyo x WooCommerce integration and Klaviyo's APIs was a major differentiator for us as our business grew.

I didn't have much luck when testing other similar tools and since we tested with free plan, we couldn't commit to something else if we couldn't get basic stuff fixed. That's when we switched to MailerLite, and their support was great and super helpful all the way (during our free plan, especially). Plus, they're super budget-friendly for startups, so I highly recommend.

  • Offers a user-friendly interface, making it simple to create beautiful forms, group subscribers, and automate emails.
  • Includes email automation workflows in their free plan - the only provider I know of that doesn't charge you after one month or hit you with "transaction fees".
  • Excellent video tutorial library so you can learn email marketing as a beginner without feeling overwhelmed.

Cons
  • Needs more visible critical notifications as we once exceeded our monthly email limit right during the Black Friday campaign. The notification was not visible enough for us to catch it on time, as a result, some emails scheduled to be sent over the weekend were never sent
  • Better library of dynamic values available for use inside emails

  • Setting up the automations is a bit confusing at first. But the customer support is patient and kind to walk you through the process.
  • The nuances between group and segment, automation and campaign are odd as most other ESPs don't do that. But they have great explainer materials.

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.

Mailerlite is awesome and it does everything I need and then some. They're always innovating and adding new features, and their team is flippin' amazing. Can't see myself ever switching. They may not have everything, but looking at how well their team works, they'll get there for sure and I'm willing to wait.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Klaviyo brought our email channel to the top performing channel over Paid Ads several times (according to G Analytics), before Klaviyo Paid Ads were always top and the email channel struggled to even stay in 2nd place.
  • Klaviyo did cost quite a bit more than our old email platform but the ROI was much higher so it paid for itself.
  • Klaviyo implemented tools that allowed us to have a higher customer satisfaction with things like letting customers choose to receive less emails instead of unsubscribing.

  • Having an email service such as MailerLite is essential to running our Taskforce. It is really the only effective way of communicating with such a large number of people.
  • MailerLite works well with non-profits and gives a good discount for those in this sector.
