Klaviyo pricing: what it actually costs.

Klaviyo prices by profile count, and the bracket you land in is fixed. Ours is 2 settings, and the top 1 removes the send limit entirely. Here is the real ladder, checked by hand, and a calculator so you can see both prices at your own numbers.

Pricing checked September 4, 2026. Klaviyo sets these prices, not us, and they can change them any time.

At 10,000 contacts and 20,000 emails a month
Klaviyo Marketing (Email)
$150/mo

100,000 sends included, fixed to this bracket.

OnVoard Marketing Platform
$35/mo, estimated

$15/mo for the contacts, plus about $20 for the email at this volume.

$115/mo less, about $1,380 a year.

Both sides resolved at the same contacts and the same sends, both at list price. Want every OnVoard app rather than email alone? All-In-One runs about $59.80/mo here.

The shape of the bill

What a Klaviyo bill does as your list grows

Every point on both lines is 1 call to the same pricing engine the calculator below runs. Klaviyo's line is a staircase because its price is fixed inside a bracket and jumps at the ceiling; ours moves with contacts and with what you actually send.

$0$200$400$600$8001k26k50kContacts10k

The dotted line marks 10,000 contacts, and each price beside a vendor above is that vendor at that point. Lines show the monthly list price at 2 emails per contact a month. A line that stops has run past that vendor’s own published ladder; nothing here is extrapolated. Move the calculator further down the page and the marked position moves with it.

Price it at your own numbers

Set your contacts and how much email you send. The vendor price only moves with contacts; ours moves with both, because we sell email sends separately from the contact count.

The buttons above fill this in from your contact count. 4x means 4 emails a month per contact.

Billing basis

We use the audience number entered above as the billable contact, profile or subscriber count for each platform. Vendors define billable audiences differently, and a real count after migration can differ.

Pricing is not feature equivalence. These estimates show what each platform charges for the workload you entered. Plans can include different automation, segmentation, SMS, support, ecommerce, and other features.

Compare all platforms, same contacts and sends carried over.

How it works

What actually changes a Klaviyo bill

  1. Profile count is the only leverKlaviyo prices on active profiles, in brackets. Growing your list past a bracket's ceiling moves you to the next one; nothing else about how you use the product changes the price.
  2. Sends follow contacts automaticallyEach bracket includes about 10x its profile ceiling in monthly email sends. You cannot buy more sends without moving up a profile bracket, and you cannot pay less by sending fewer.
  3. Suppressed profiles do not countA profile you suppress stops counting toward your bracket, so pruning unengaged contacts before a renewal is a real way to manage the bill. It has to be suppressed at the account level, not just unsubscribed from 1 list.
Where they win

Where Klaviyo is the better choice

Under a few hundred contactsFree plan
Klaviyo's free plan runs to 250 profiles at $0. OnVoard's paid plans start above that. If your list is genuinely that small, take whichever free plan you prefer; there is no case for paying either of us yet.
A larger, more established ecosystemMaturity
Klaviyo has been an email specialist for longer, with a bigger marketplace of integrations, agencies who specialize in it, and deeper native SMS. If you need those specifically, that maturity is real and we are not claiming to match it yet.
Methodology

How this page was built

Every price above is read from a vendor's own published, list-basis pricing, matched to the billing interval requested (monthly compared to monthly, never monthly to annual). A promotional rate is never compared against a list price. Beyond a vendor's own published ladder we say contact sales rather than extrapolating, and anything we could not verify is left off rather than guessed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Klaviyo price its plans?

Klaviyo charges by active profile count. Each bracket of profiles has a fixed monthly price, and includes roughly 10x that many email sends automatically. Sending more or less does not change the price on its own; only your profile count moves it.

What happens if I send more email than Klaviyo includes?

Klaviyo's own pricing page does not state what happens to an email send past the included volume for your tier. What is documented is that crossing a profile-count threshold moves you to the next bracket automatically. OnVoard states this plainly: below Unlimited, extra sends are $1 per 1,000 from a balance you top up; at Unlimited, there is nothing to run out of.

Does Klaviyo have a free plan?

Klaviyo publishes no free tier in the data we have verified.

Is there an annual prepay discount on Klaviyo?

Not that we have found stated on their self-serve pricing. If that changes, this page should too, since a promo rate is never compared against a list price here (see the methodology below).

What does OnVoard do differently?

2 things. First, contacts and sends are 2 separate, adjustable settings, and the top send stop is unlimited at a fixed price, not a bracket you outgrow. Second, Klaviyo's price only ever buys email; OnVoard's All-In-One price is the same 2 settings plus every other OnVoard app, for a contact-rate premium instead of 6 separate bills.

How were these numbers checked, and how current are they?

Pricing checked September 4, 2026. Some rows on this page are marked derived rather than verified, which means they were cross-referenced from other sources rather than read directly off Klaviyo's own page; the table above marks every one of those rows and states the rule next to them. A row we could not source at all is left off entirely rather than guessed.
