Klaviyo pricing

What Klaviyo costs as your store grows, why active profiles drive the bill, and how SMS is priced on top.

Klaviyo's pricing is simple in shape and steep in slope. There is a free tier, then a single email plan whose price rises with the number of active profiles you store, plus optional SMS billed by credits. Because the model counts active profiles rather than emails sent, a large list costs the same whether you mail it once or daily, which rewards stores that keep their lists clean. Below is the email plan at common list sizes, then the factors that move your real spend.

What moves the real bill

Active profiles, plus SMS, set the real bill.

Four things tend to move Klaviyo spend beyond the entry price. Plan for these as your store and list grow.

The active profile model. You pay for profiles that can receive messages, not emails sent. Suppressing or removing inactive profiles is the main lever to keep cost down as the list grows.
SMS and MMS credits. SMS is a separate budget billed by credits from about $15 per month, with MMS costing more per message, so cross channel flows add to the email subscription.
Steep scaling at higher lists. Price climbs in bands as profiles rise, from $20 at 500 to $150 at 10,000 and well beyond, so large stores should model the curve before committing.
No annual discount on self serve. Klaviyo's self serve plans are billed monthly without a published annual discount, so there is no prepay saving the way some rivals offer.

What are active profiles in Klaviyo?

Active profiles are people who can receive your messages. Your bill is based on this count, not on emails sent, so suppressing or deleting unsubscribed and inactive profiles lowers cost. This rewards stores that keep their lists clean.

Is Klaviyo worth the price?

For ecommerce stores that turn order and browsing data into segmented flows, the revenue usually justifies the cost. For a simple newsletter or a service business without store data, cheaper tools like MailerLite or Brevo are often the better value.
