    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 WooC…

    Chose Klaviyo
    Klaviyo is much more advanced than the other ones we evaluated. From the user interface to the triggers and segmentation. It also integrates with far more apps than the other two platforms. We are able to do some unique things with Klaviyo just because it integrates so well …

    Chose Klaviyo
    Klaviyo makes a/b testing drip campaigns very intuitive to the average, non-technical user, which is something that other platforms fail to do. While more expensive, it more than pays for itself due to the ease of testing. You can test and deploy content faster and in a more …

    Klaviyo is a leader in the space, but I might recommend it to a colleague for its price point. There are other options that are more affordable and provide most of the tools Klaviyo offers. I also think it can be complicated to use for a new user.

    WooCommerce is best suited to customers whose website is built on the WordPress platform, and whose development team has a good understanding of plug-in implementation. If your website is not built on WordPress, but on Laravel or React (or any other non WordPress technology), then WooCommerce is not for you. WooCommerce is also great for customers who just need a simple online shopping experience. If your needs involve more complex or immersive features such as timed discounts, pick up locations, delivery reminders, or post shopping feedback surveys, know that you will need to purchase additional add-ons to make to get these features using WooCommerce set up on WordPress.

    Pros
    Klaviyo
    • Klaviyo's template builder is very intuitive yet straightforward enough that an inexperienced user can catch on quickly.
    • Their flow builder is also quite intuitive and allows us to build intricate, highly targeted flows.
    • I appreciate their built-in compliance warnings & checks as they apply to opt-out methods, SMS compliance, and overall deliverability.

    Cons
    Klaviyo
    • 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

    • Because of how the Wordpress database is structured, WooCommerce isn't great for large or complex e-commerce sites.
    • More out-of-the-box options would be nice within the base software.
    • Because add-on plugins are developed by 3rd parties, sometimes you get conflicts that break things.

    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.

    Despite very rare glitches, more connected to an excessive number of plugins, that affect the speed of the site, we are extremely satisfied with the platform, the ability to import and export products, even though we just export them, as we have our proprietary system for updating inventories. We love the ease of upgrading, enhancing, innovating, and the freedom we have to do whatever we want, which is a plus, when you consider Shopify can take down your whole store as they please, if they think you aren't abiding to their TOS or their ever changing set of rules.

    Klaviyo
    The only reason why I did not give it a 10/10 is that it cannot distinguish purchases that came through subscription recharges instead of purchases that were driven directly by email sends. Other than that, the automation qualities, design features, and segmentation options make this an incredible email platform, and I am very happy with it

    It is built on the Wordpress platform, so there are some quirks compared to a dedicated e-commerce product, but it is very intuitive and easy to use, especially for anyone with Wordpress experience. There are numerous great support articles and learning resources available. Significant customization can be achieved with plugins vs other eCommerce platforms, which may require more custom code and have fewer plugin options.

    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 was crucial to us. Additionally, Klaviyo is the core of our B2C business. We were not focused on anything other than how we interact with customers directly, and Klaviyo was a direct win for us. The one negative is Klaviyo's ability to work with our B2B side of our business, because it doesn't integrate with platforms like HubSpot. That is a massive downside, but the upside justified the investment.

    We were pretty sure we wanted a WordPress site so that we had more control over the site itself, having been burned by third-party vendor sites before. The fact that WooCommerce integrates so well with WordPress was a big selling point for us. Magento would have been too heavy of a lift for our small dev team and we didn't want to rely on Shopify or BigCommerce (though all of those products could have their merits for other projects or clients).

    Return on Investment
    Klaviyo
    • 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.

    • Positive: low cost to start up, and allowed us to start selling right away.
    • Negative: better plug-ins have a high cost of entry. For example if you want to do subscriptions you need a paid plugin for it.
    • Positive: easily integrates with PayPal and Stripe.
