What is the best alternative to Klaviyo?
There is no single best one. The 11 tools below are grouped by editorial tier and listed A to Z inside each tier. 3 score above Klaviyo's 2.7/5 and 8 below it. Which suits you depends on your publication's size, revenue model and vertical.
Why would a publisher move away from Klaviyo?

Whether those matter depends on your setup — many publishers run Klaviyo successfully despite them.
