Point-by-point comparison
We compare the service, not just the platform. Where Klaviyo is the right choice, we say so directly.
| Aspect | Klaviyo | DeviDevs Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You or your team. Klaviyo gives you the platform, but setup, segmentation and campaigns are built by you. | Us. We set up, write the flows and run the campaigns for you. |
| Who it is built for | Ecommerce, especially Shopify stores, with advanced segmentation on buying behavior. | Small and mid-size Romanian businesses, ecommerce but also tourism and wellness, who want the result without operating a platform. |
| Complexity | Many features and fine control. Powerful, but it takes time to learn and administer. | Nothing to administer on your side. The complexity stays with us, you get campaigns already run. |
| Cost | A self-service model where the cost grows with the size of your contact list. We do not compare exact figures, they change over time. | A subscription for a managed service, starting from a free audit. |
| Romanian support | Interface and support in English. No team dedicated to the Romanian market. | Support in Romanian, during Romanian working hours, over WhatsApp and email. |
| Who it fits | Online stores with a team, a budget and a wish for full control over automations. | Whoever wants the result without managing a complex platform themselves. |
We compare a managed service with a self-service platform. We do not compare exact prices, they change over time; we leave them out of the table so it does not go stale.
