Klaviyo’s new pricing: why we made these changes and what it means for you
Today we’ve announced changes to our pricing, with increases for our largest customers, updates to our SMS pricing model, and the introduction of a new enterprise-grade tier.
Prices will remain the same for the majority of customers. Klaviyo hasn’t increased pricing in close to a decade, even with the significant evolution of our products, and these changes will allow us to continue innovating and better support our customers.
Why are we changing our pricing?
Since the last time pricing changed, Klaviyo’s platform has grown exponentially. Here’s a quick look at just some of the things we’ve shipped and changed between 2014 and 2022:
And we’re not stopping anytime soon. We are proud that the average Klaviyo email & SMS customer sees tremendous ROI, and we always want our platform to continue delivering outsized value to our customers. Our increase in pricing now is to support further investments that will make that possible—like more enhanced functionality, scale and reliability, and customer support—for years to come.
What’s changing?
Our pricing is now easier to use for omnichannel customers, and allows you to select the package that suits your unique needs.
We are increasing prices on email plans for our higher tiers of active profiles—which essentially means a smaller volume discount for those large tiers. Your monthly email volume is 10x the number of customer profiles you have. For example, if you have 45,000 customer profiles, you can send 450,000 emails per month.
SMS
For SMS, we’re increasing prices to reflect higher carrier costs while also simplifying the way we calculate pricing.
We’ll no longer charge you for SMS consented profiles, on top of email profiles. Instead, you can choose the right SMS sending package for your business based on the number of SMS credits you need per month. We’re also adjusting the international send ratios for SMS and MMS.
Here are a few other important things to note about how we charge for SMS:
- Our SMS pricing is based on credits. In the US, a plain text SMS counts as 1 credit. An MMS, which contains media like a photo or gif, counts as 3 credits.
- You’ll have easy access to a dashboard that shows the credits you bought, credits drawn down, and the credits you have remaining at any point in time.
- We don’t charge for integrations or any set up fees to install SMS on your account.
More value, more flexibility, more features
These packaging and pricing changes align with our platform value, vision, and evolution, and give Klaviyo the resources it needs to continue delivering best-in-class innovation. We’re confident that the best is yet to come.
We’re so excited about what we’re building, including features coming soon like a Google Ads integration, a new version of our APIs, upgraded product recommendations, and machine-learning-based strategic guidance—just to name a few.
