Mailchimp vs. Klaviyo

Thinking of making the switch from Mailchimp to Klaviyo but need a helping hand to get started? Keep reading to find out the differences between the two email marketing platforms, which one is right for your brand at its current stage of growth and what the migration process looks like with Jellywall.

What does Mailchimp do well?

As Klaviyo Gold Partners, there's no doubt that we're huge fans of Klaviyo and its impressive offering here at Jellywall. However, there are other email marketing platforms which are suited to brands at different stages of growth. With its generous free plan, there's no wonder Mailchimp is so popular with smaller brands at the start of their growth journey.

The simplicity of the platform is another reason why start-up brands with small teams are attracted to Mailchimp. With access to various pre-made templates, an easy-to-use email editor and simple automation features, Mailchimp makes email marketing easy.

However, there comes a point in a brand's growth journey when 'simple' is no longer good enough. When you realise there's so much more potential with your email marketing and you need a platform that gives you more. Say hello to Klaviyo!
