Wondering whether Klaviyo or Privy is the right email & SMS marketing platform for your brand? Look no further! Below we compare the two platforms to help make your decision an easier one.
What does Privy do well?
Privy is the email & SMS marketing platform for brands that need to grow their sales instantly, meaning it's a good fit for startup brands. It allows you to grow your list, save abandoned carts and send campaign emails and texts all in one place. It integrates seamlessly with Shopify and is considered the best pop-up or 'display' tool for Shopify users.
With their 'free' and 'starter' plans, most other email & SMS marketing platforms won't compete with Privy when it comes to price, again making it a good fit for brands just getting started.
However, when it comes to choosing an email & SMS marketing platform, more established brands focused on growth should favour value and capabilities over cost alone. That's where Klaviyo comes in...
