Hey @Cathrin Machin
I understand that rising costs can be tough, especially for a small artist. Before deciding to leave Klaviyo, consider its unique value: suppressing inactive subscribers can significantly reduce your costs, and tools like automated flows, segmentation, and personalized campaigns can help you nurture relationships and increase revenue. Klaviyo also allows you to monetize your list creatively, offering exclusive content or creating VIP segments to support your art. Its rich analytics and advanced features make it an investment in your growth, giving you insights and tools that are hard to find elsewhere.
If you still decide to leave, ensure you’re fully prepared: export all subscriber data (including segments, tags, and activity history) and back up your email templates and flows. Research other platforms carefully, keeping in mind that you may lose some of the automation and personalization that make Klaviyo so effective. However, if you’d like, I can help analyze your account and brainstorm ways to make Klaviyo more affordable while driving better results—it might just be the right solution for your artistic goals after all.
I hope this helps and thank you for sharing your question here in the community.
Cheers
Arpit
