Geniziz vs Klaviyo: the Klaviyo alternative that doesn't charge per seat

Is Geniziz a good Klaviyo alternative? Yes. Both price on the size of your list rather than the size of your team — but Klaviyo meters the things Geniziz lets you own. On Geniziz every feature is on every plan, users and workspaces are unlimited, and AI, email and calling run on your own API keys at provider cost instead of resold credits.

What Klaviyo costs, and what the same team costs here

Klaviyo bills like this: Active-profile count tiers; separate Email-only and Email+SMS plans.

Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.

Klaviyo does not publish list pricing, so there is no honest number to put beside ours. Geniziz publishes every price: €49, €149 or €299 a month by contact count, unlimited users on all three.

Why teams leave Klaviyo: Costs scale with list size regardless of send frequency or team size, so a growing but low-engagement list can get expensive fast, and the platform is built for e-commerce with less to offer non-commerce teams.

Figures are Klaviyo's published list prices as of 2026-09-13, shown in USD; Geniziz prices are in EUR. This is a fair guide, not a quote — check Klaviyo for current details.

What Klaviyo is

E-commerce-focused email and SMS marketing platform billed by active (emailable) profiles rather than total contacts.

When you should stay on Klaviyo

You're an e-commerce brand that wants deep Shopify/commerce data in every automation and doesn't mind paying by list size.

We would rather you stayed on a tool that fits than switched and regretted it. The case for moving is below.

Why teams move to Geniziz

  • Unlimited users — invite sales, success, ops and leadership at no extra cost.
  • Every feature on every plan — no tier gates automation, reporting or AI.
  • Bring your own keys — AI, calling, email and enrichment run on your provider accounts at cost, never resold.
  • Unlimited workspaces on one bill, priced only by total contacts.
  • Own your data — a full export anytime, an open API, and no paywall on getting it out.

Migrating from Klaviyo to Geniziz

Exports as CSV; object model is Profiles/Lists/Segments/Flows/Campaigns — profile-centric rather than company/deal-centric, so it doesn't map cleanly onto a CRM's contact/company/deal model.

You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.

How to migrate from Klaviyo to Geniziz

  1. 1. Export your data from Klaviyo (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
  2. 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
  3. 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
  4. 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
