Our take
Klaviyo is the email/SMS standard for DTC. Its flow builder and segmentation are unmatched, and predictive analytics (churn, lifetime value) help you act before customers leave.
Pros
- Best-in-class flow builder
- Predictive analytics
- Deep Shopify data sync
- SMS built in
Cons
- Price scales with list size
- Overkill for tiny stores
