Zinn® Campaigns vs Klaviyo
Klaviyo is built for online shops that live on purchase data. If you mostly send newsletters and updates, you may be paying for machinery you never switch on.
What you get with Zinn® Campaigns that others charge extra for, or do not offer
Each of these is switched on in the product today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
AI writing on every plan
From a one-line brief, the AI writer drafts two subject lines, a preheader and the body. It is not held back for a higher tier.
Sent at each contact's best hour
Smart send time delivers to each contact when they usually open, and an A/B subject test sends the winner to the rest.
Your brand, read from your website
The brand kit takes your logo, colours and font from your own site, so the first campaign already looks like you.
A check before every send
The pre-send check reads the campaign before it goes and lists what to fix, what to review and what is only for information.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC written for you
When we host your DNS, we write the sending records for your domain after you confirm. No copying records between tabs.
Already included with your hosting
Every Mainstream hosting plan includes 500 contacts and 2,000 emails a month, with no second bill.
24/7 enterprise-grade support, at no extra charge
Every customer on every plan reaches our expert team around the clock. Enterprise-grade support is part of the product, never a paid upgrade or a higher tier.
Our honest take
Klaviyo charges by active profiles and is very strong at ecommerce flows such as abandoned carts. Zinn® Campaigns is lighter and cheaper to start with, and writes campaigns with AI on every plan. If your revenue depends on store-triggered flows today, Klaviyo is the safer choice, because we do not trigger flows from store events yet.

Where their figures come from
Why a smaller list might not need Klaviyo
AI drafting on every plan
Klaviyo's Composer comes as a monthly usage allowance or an add-on. Our AI writer drafts subjects, preheader and body on every plan, from your account's AI allowance or credits, or from your own AI key.
Priced on contacts you upload
Plans start at $4.99 a month for 1,000 contacts, and Mainstream hosting already covers your first 500.
Protection for your domain is built in
If spam complaints pass the threshold, sending pauses before your domain's reputation is damaged. You see why, and you choose when to resume.
Where Klaviyo wins
Klaviyo connects to stores such as Shopify and runs flows triggered by shopping behaviour, including cart and browse abandonment. It also bundles reviews, a customer hub and helpdesk tools. We have welcome, drip and yearly-date flows, but nothing triggered by store events yet.
Where Zinn® Campaigns fits better
Service businesses, publishers, agencies and smaller shops that send newsletters, launches and updates rather than cart recovery. Also anyone writing to an international list, because each contact can receive the campaign in their own language.

Klaviyo comparison FAQ
Is Zinn® Campaigns cheaper than Klaviyo?
Yes to start: plans begin at $4.99 a month for 1,000 contacts against Klaviyo's $20 email plan, and small lists on Mainstream hosting pay nothing extra. Klaviyo remains the stronger choice when abandoned-cart and other store-triggered flows drive your revenue.
Does Zinn® Campaigns do abandoned cart emails?
Not yet. Our flows today start on a list join or a yearly date. Klaviyo's store-triggered flows are its strongest feature, and we say so plainly.
