These tools serve different layers of a business, so this is less a like-for-like migration and more adding Klaviyo alongside (or instead of) Keap’s marketing piece while keeping CRM and payments elsewhere.
Quick verdict: Move to Klaviyo (from Keap’s marketing role) if you run an e-commerce store and want native purchase-event sync and revenue attribution — you will need a separate tool for CRM, invoicing and payments, which Keap had bundled.
Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.
Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.
Purchase and browsing events sync automatically.
Built into every flow and send.
$20/mo against $299/mo flat.
You lose Keap’s built-in CRM, invoicing, checkout and payment processing — Klaviyo offers none of these.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1Export your contact list | Export contacts, tags and segments as CSV from the old tool. |
| 2Create your Klaviyo account | Create your Klaviyo account and connect your store to sync existing customer and order data. |
| 3Rebuild flows in Klaviyo’s flow builder | Recreate abandoned-cart, welcome and post-purchase flows using Klaviyo’s flow builder, tied to your synced store events. |
| 4Rebuild automations | Recreate email sequences, triggers and automation rules by hand — these do not transfer automatically. |
| 5Reconnect integrations | Reconnect your website forms, e-commerce store, payment processor or CRM sync to the new tool. |
| 6Run a real send before cancelling | Send one real campaign through the new tool and confirm deliverability before cancelling the old plan. |
What this path doesn’t do for you:
Keap’s CRM, invoicing, checkout and payments have no Klaviyo equivalent — plan for separate tools to cover them.
| Plan | Keap | Klaviyo |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Flat, 2 users included | Per active-profile tier |
| Entry price | $299/mo ($39/mo per extra user) | Email $20/mo (500 profiles) |
| CRM | Included | None — event/profile data only |
| Invoicing/payments | Included | Not offered |

Read the Keap vs Klaviyo comparison Switching from Klaviyo to Keap instead?No dedicated importer; export contacts as CSV and connect your store for event data separately.
On the marketing line, yes, but you will need separate tools for CRM, invoicing and payments.
Yes, entirely — Klaviyo has no CRM layer at all.
No. Automation logic, workflows and segmentation rules are specific to each platform’s builder and are rebuilt by hand in the new tool; only contact data moves via export/import or a migration service.
