Why teams leave
Why marketing teams are leaving Klaviyo
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
You pay for contacts you can't email
Your contact list grows, but a large portion is suppressed. Under Klaviyo's billing model, you pay for all of them regardless. A list of 20,000 costs the same whether 5,000 or 20,000 are active.
No web experimentation at any plan
You want to run a website experiment, but there is no way to do that in Klaviyo at any plan. You need a second tool, a second contract, and a manual sync.
Built for eCommerce, not SaaS
You have a SaaS product, and Klaviyo was built for eCommerce. Profile-based billing and email-only flows do not map to a product-led motion.

Blu AI
What Blu does that Klaviyo can't
Reads your data and acts on it
Klaviyo waits for you to build the flow. Blu analyses your customer behaviour in real time and suggests the next GTM action, which segment to target, which journey to trigger, and which message to send. You stop guessing and start moving.
Runs campaigns without a brief
With Klaviyo, someone still has to write the brief, build the flow, and QA the send. Blu drafts campaign copy, builds audience segments, and personalises experiences from your live customer data with no manual creative overhead.
Connects context to execution automatically
Klaviyo sends emails. Intempt runs motions. When a user hits an activation event, visits pricing three times, or goes quiet for 14 days, Blu detects it and responds without waiting for someone to notice it in a dashboard.
Switching from Klaviyo is easier than you think
Most teams are fully migrated and live within a week.

What our customers have to say
“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.”
Jim Stromberg, CEO
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.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Intempt has a native Shopify integration that syncs orders, products, customers, and events in real time. You can build abandoned cart flows, post-purchase sequences, win-back campaigns, and product recommendation emails exactly as you would in Klaviyo. Plus A/B testing and funnel analytics in the same platform.
Klaviyo's paid plans start at roughly $20/mo for 500 contacts and reach $150/mo at 10,000. Intempt's Professional plan starts at $18/seat/mo covering unlimited email, SMS, push, and in-app with no per-contact billing. If you are paying $80 to $150/mo in Klaviyo plus Mixpanel plus Segment, Intempt consolidates all of it for less.
Your flow logic, segments, and audience rules can be rebuilt in Intempt's journey builder during the IntemptVIP 90-day program. The team builds your first flows alongside you, done with you over 90 days.
Yes. Intempt includes 35 recommendation algorithms: best selling, most popular, viewed together, purchased together, category affinity, and more. You can sync your Shopify product catalog with one click. Recommendations appear in email, on site, and in app using the same product data.
Intempt replaces Klaviyo for email and SMS, but also replaces Mixpanel for analytics, Segment for customer data, Optimizely for experimentation, and HubSpot for CRM. Most teams reduce their stack from seven to nine tools down to one.
Klaviyo's Shopify integration connects in minutes. Intempt's Shopify connection is equally fast, with pre-built journey templates, recommendation models, and analytics dashboards. From setup to value in one week.
