# Klaviyo vs. Intuit Mailchimp

> G2’s review-theme data contains 69 mentions of “Expensive” for Klaviyo and 45 for Mailchimp, a roughly 1.5-to-one sentiment gap. Yet Klaviyo remains attractive to ecommerce teams because its behavioral segmentation, store-data model and multichannel flows are designed to turn customer activity into measurable campaigns. The useful buying question is therefore not which tier looks cheaper, but whether a team can earn back the premium through better flows, disciplined list hygiene and trustworthy attribution.

## Achievements

- Klaviyo built a platform that combines customer profiles, behavioral segmentation, email, SMS and additional messaging channels for B2C brands.
- Mailchimp grew into a global small-business marketing platform before Intuit acquired it in 2021.
- Both products offer free access for small contact sets, letting teams test core workflows before committing to a paid plan.
- G2’s 2026 hands-on test favored Klaviyo for segmentation and campaign-control depth while favoring Mailchimp’s speed and email-design experience in several tasks.
