The fine print
All from Klaviyo's own pricing page, Aug 5, 2026.The list is the meterPricing scales with active profiles, so 1,500 profiles is $45 a month whether you send one campaign or none. Cleaning your list becomes a billing exercise, and the incentive runs against keeping history.
SMS and mobile messages are separate moneyMobile messages draw on their own balance on top of the plan, and the free tier includes just $5 of them. Channel costs stack rather than blend.
AI features run on creditsThe newer agent and Composer features are metered in credits with introductory allowances. Useful, and one more line that moves with usage.
Inbound is a different productKlaviyo has been adding service and helpdesk pieces, but its centre of gravity is outbound marketing. If your customers reply and expect an answer, that is the job Invent is built for.

Common questions
How much does Klaviyo cost?
There are no fixed tiers: you build a plan and the price follows your profile count. At 1,500 active profiles its own builder quotes $45 a month for email, with mobile messages billed separately. The free tier covers 250 profiles and 500 emails.
Can Invent replace Klaviyo?
For WhatsApp, SMS and email broadcasts to your contacts, yes, and at $29/mo it also answers the replies. For deep ecommerce flows with predictive segments and revenue attribution, Klaviyo is the stronger specialist.
Can I use both?
Yes, and plenty of teams should. Keep Klaviyo for ecommerce lifecycle email and let Invent run WhatsApp, the AI agent and the shared inbox where customers actually reply.
Which is better, Invent or Klaviyo?
They are built for different halves of the conversation. Klaviyo is outbound marketing for ecommerce; Invent is two-way customer conversations with AI that resolves them. Judge them on which half you are trying to fix.
How do I migrate from Klaviyo?
Book a short migration call. We import your contacts and segments, rebuild your campaigns as broadcasts and connect WhatsApp so replies land in the inbox.
