The ecommerce email and SMS standard, built around behavioural data.

Klaviyo is the dominant ecommerce email and SMS platform, strongest at Shopify integration, behavioural segmentation, predictive analytics, and revenue-attributed reporting. Used by virtually every serious DTC and ecommerce brand. AI features (Klaviyo AI) added content generation, segment building, and predictive lifetime value. Pricing scales with list size and SMS usage; can get expensive fast at scale but ecommerce attribution typically justifies the spend. The standard, not the contrarian pick.
