Stop paying for contacts that never open your emails.
Klaviyo bills you for every profile in your account, active or not. Intempt charges per seat. Your team of 8 pays the same whether you have 5K or 500K contacts.

Why marketing teams are leaving Klaviyo
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
Your bill doubles when your list grows. At 10K contacts Klaviyo costs ~$150/mo. At 25K it jumps to ~$400. At 50K you hit ~$720. Your send volume didn't change, but your invoice did.
No web experiments at any plan. You want to A/B test a landing page, but Klaviyo only tests email subject lines. You need a second tool, a second contract, and a manual data sync.
Built for Shopify, awkward for SaaS. Klaviyo's flows, templates, and reporting assume e-commerce. If you sell subscriptions, the product-led triggers you need aren't there.

The teams that made the switch
We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

StockInvest
Case Study
StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
