Can I do the same email campaigns with SelfMailKit as I'm used to in Klaviyo?

Yes! SelfMailKit supports all the essential email marketing features including marketing campaigns, automation workflows, A/B testing, segmentation, and personalization. Plus, you get unique features like a native inbox and all email types included in one price.

What about SMS marketing? Klaviyo offers that.

Currently, SelfMailKit focuses on providing the best email experience possible. While we don't offer SMS marketing yet, our email-focused approach allows us to provide superior email features at better pricing. SMS functionality is on our roadmap.

What customer support will I get with SelfMailKit vs Klaviyo?

SelfMailKit provides always-free email support for all users, while Klaviyo only offers free email support for the first 60 days. After that, Klaviyo users need paid plans for support. We believe support should always be accessible.

How can I switch from Klaviyo to SelfMailKit?

Switching is easy! You can export your contacts from Klaviyo and import them into SelfMailKit via CSV. Our API-first approach also allows for seamless integrations. Contact our support team at support@selfmailkit.com for migration assistance.

Does SelfMailKit have the same deliverability as Klaviyo?

Yes! SelfMailKit uses AWS SES infrastructure with automatic domain warmup, DKIM, SPF, and DMARC setup out of the box. This ensures excellent deliverability comparable to Klaviyo, often at a fraction of the cost.

SelfMailKit vs Klaviyo

Discover why SelfMailKit offers better pricing for growing businesses and unique features that Klaviyo doesn't provide

Pricing Comparison: A Better Deal for Growing Businesses

Klaviyo's pricing is determined by the number of active profiles and can escalate rapidly. With their updated profile compliance policy (starting February 2025), you might incur higher costs even if your contact list remains unchanged. SelfMailKit provides clear and straightforward pricing based on email usage.
