The ecommerce standard, with EU hosting for new accounts only.
Klaviyo is the default marketing platform for ecommerce, built around a deep integration with Shopify and the other commerce platforms that gives it product, order and browsing data as first-class citizens rather than imported fields. That is what lets it do genuinely good predictive analytics on customer lifetime value, churn risk and next order date, and segmentation that reflects actual purchase behaviour. It covers email, SMS, push, reviews and a customer data platform. There is a well-documented first-party MCP server, both remote and local, with a read-only mode and a core-tools flag, requiring an elevated role. AI is increasingly sold as metered add-ons on top of the profile-based subscription, including a customer agent billed per resolved conversation.
The benchmark in ecommerce marketing, and the depth of commerce data is the reason: when your segmentation can use what someone actually bought, browsed and returned rather than what list they are on, the flows get materially better. Predictive analytics on lifetime value and churn are genuinely useful rather than decorative. The MCP server is well documented with a read-only mode, which is the right default for a tool that can message your entire customer base. Two things that matter for UK buyers. EU data residency in Germany exists but is opt-in at account creation only, so every existing account stays on US hosting and migrating in is not possible, which is a real problem if you are moving from another platform now. And the AI add-ons are separately metered on top of profile-based pricing, which makes total spend harder to forecast than the headline suggests. Published tier prices vary between sources, so confirm in-app.
Best for: Ecommerce brands on Shopify or a comparable platform where purchase behaviour should drive the messaging.
Pricing: Free to 250 profiles, then usage-based from around $30/mo (Freemium)
