How to make an accurate quotation with the new pricing policy


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

Hey everyone,

I’m onboarding a new client, and I need to estimate their Klaviyo monthly fee before connecting their store. With the new pricing model based on active profiles, I’m struggling to determine this number in advance.

Previously, it was possible to estimate costs based on total subscribers, but now the model relies on active profiles—which include engaged contacts, not just subscribed users. The issue is that WooCommerce for example, doesn’t provide a clear breakdown of active profiles; we only have the total number of registered customers/users.

Since I can’t connect the store without securing the client first, I’m stuck in a catch-22. How can I reasonably estimate the number of active profiles before integration? Has anyone found a way to approximate this?

Thank you!

Hi ​@Woodhope

In Klaviyo, an Active Profile is defined as:

Active profiles: any profiles in Klaviyo that can be messaged and who are not suppressed.

 

So, if you were to sync all the users from WooCommerce (customers, users, subscribers), then that should be your high water mark of where the Subscription level should start at.  It’s obviously imperative that once you warm up the account and discover emails that are not valid (hard bounced), not engaged, or not engaged enough (defined between your client and you), you can reduce that number by manually suppressing those Profiles which then lowers the Active Profiles in your Klaviyo Account.

I would recommend using the high water mark as a reference point and explain that it can be lower than that amount as to your point, each merchant or brand may have a different “quality” of their audience depending on how they acquired their users, how long they have been in business, and how frequently they currently send to their audience.

That way, they know where they will be starting at and working with you will actively clean up the quality of their audience so they are accurately paying for an audience that makes sense to their business.
