Klaviyo is an incredibly powerful platform — for online stores with shopping carts. If you run a brick-and-mortar business, you need something built for how you actually work.
Klaviyo assumes you have website traffic, shopping carts, and online orders.
HeyApprove assumes you have customers walking in the door.
| Klaviyo | HeyApprove | |
|---|---|---|
| Who notices it’s time to send? | You do — or you build a flow that fires on a rule you wrote | HeyApprove watches your register and the calendar |
| Who decides what the offer is? | You do | HeyApprove proposes one. You approve, change, or skip it. |
| Who writes it? | You do | HeyApprove |
| Who picks who gets it? | You build the segment | HeyApprove, from your POS history |
| Who sets up the promo code? | You, by hand, in your POS or store | HeyApprove creates it in your POS — and removes it when it expires |
| Email or text? | You choose (SMS billed separately by the message) | HeyApprove picks one from who opted into what — you can change it |
| What you actually do | Build flows, segments, and templates | Read one card. Approve, change, or skip. |
| How you know it worked | Opens, clicks, and online orders | Dollars matched in your register |
| What it costs in a month you send nothing | The monthly fee, in full | Nothing |
| Pricing | $20–$700+/mo, rising with list size | 5% of tracked revenue — $5–$65 per campaign |
If you're running a Shopify store doing $500K+ in online sales, Klaviyo is probably worth the investment. It's genuinely powerful for e-commerce automation.
We integrate with the POS systems brick-and-mortar businesses actually use. See real revenue from promo code redemptions — money that hit your register, not an online shopping cart.
Your fee is 5% of the sales your register tracks back to the campaign, with a minimum and a base-fee cap. No monthly fees. No contracts.
You pay whichever is higher: the minimum or 5% of tracked revenue, up to the base-fee cap. The minimum applies even if a campaign tracks no sales. Larger sends add delivery charges on top — you see the full amount before you approve.
First campaign free. No monthly fees.
Free campaign covers lists up to 500 subscribers and 500 text message parts.
Requires Square, Shopify, or Mindbody connection.
HeyApprove is built for brick-and-mortar businesses with a POS at the register.
