Your list grew. Your bill shouldn't.
Klaviyo is brilliant. Its invoice is not.
Klaviyo earned its reputation in ecomm — and its bill reflects that. For most Shopify and Stripe-based stores, Hatched Send delivers the same core flows (welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase) at a flat, transparent price.

Why teams start looking elsewhere
Three bills that climb faster than your open rate.
Pricing that grows with every review reply
Every new email address from every checkout inflates your bill. Klaviyo's tiers jump quickly once you're past 10K active profiles.
You pay for features you don't use
Paid SMS, heavy predictive analytics, segmentation complexity — powerful for enterprises, overkill for most 6- and 7-figure stores.
Data locked in their platform
Want to move customer data to a warehouse, or own the schema yourself? Klaviyo is the system of record, not yours.
What changes on day one
Same audience. Different economics.
Core ecomm flows, cleanly covered
Welcome series via Automations, Shopify consent sync into your audience, plus API triggers for cart and post-purchase when you need them.
Predictable monthly bill
$29/mo for 50K sends on Growth. $149/mo for 200K on Scale. No surprise invoice when a Black Friday spike blows your tier.
Your customer data, your database
Connect your own Neon Postgres. Customer records live next to your orders, not inside a black-box platform.

Questions from Klaviyo users
Hatched Send is an email platform. Most stores pair us with a lean SMS tool (e.g. Postscript, Attentive) or Twilio directly via API, and save enough on email to more than fund it.
