Learn the difference between free and paid plans with Klaviyo. 

As your business grows, so too will your Klaviyo account. In order to scale your marketing channels accordingly, you will likely need to upgrade your plan in Klaviyo. By upgrading a free account to a paid subscription, you will unlock several perks that are otherwise unavailable.

Paying for any plan (Marketing Analytics, email/profiles, etc.) makes you a paid user. For information about the plans, please see how Klaviyo billing works.

By paying a set, monthly fee, you unlock the ability to message more people, store more profiles, etc. At its core, Klaviyo's billing structure is based on the number of contacts in your account. 

When using a free plan, you are limited to sending a maximum of 500 emails per month and up to 250 profiles. If you go over your profile limit, you cannot send again until you have 250 or fewer profiles or you upgrade. If you reach your email limit, you will be barred from additional sending until next month or until you upgrade. You may see flow email deliverability fall when you hit this limit.  

Access support

Access support

Email support is available for free users for the first 60 days after they sign up for Klaviyo. After this 60-day period, free users will have access to the Community as well as Customer Education resources such as articles, courses, and webinars.

Paid users have access to both email and chat support. If you are interested in getting support, upgrading your plan from free to paid will give you access.

Unlock exclusive branding options

Unlock exclusive branding options

Customers on paid plans have the ability to customize certain default Klaviyo branding settings in the following areas of their accounts.

Email footers

Email footers

All free email accounts have Klaviyo branding in their email footers.

To edit or remove the default Klaviyo branding from your emails, you must upgrade to a paid profile/email account. If you pay for SMS only, it will not remove the branding in your emails.

When you have a paid profile/email account, you can customize your footer to best suit your business needs.

Sign-up forms

Sign-up forms

Similar to the footers, all free accounts have Klaviyo branding at the bottom of sign-up forms.

To edit or remove the default Klaviyo branding from your forms, you must upgrade to a paid account and then manually update any existing form.

Custom hosted pages

Custom hosted pages

Paid accounts that have passed account verification have the ability to enable custom hosted pages. These pages specifically pertain to your custom hosted subscribe and manage preference pages where customers can update their consent status, contact information, communication preferences, and more.
