You need to make sure the features fit your technical expertise, business needs, and are both powerful and convenient to use at the same time. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be stuck with a tool that you cannot fully utilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two most popular names in the email marketing field are Omnisend and Klaviyo. Both platforms allow you to send emails, build automations, and segment audiences to unlock more ways to reach your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at how they compare not only in terms of features, but also user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/omnisend-vs-klaviyo-which-platform-offers-a-smoother-user-experience\/#Dashboard_navigation_and_layout\" >Dashboard navigation and layout<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/omnisend-vs-klaviyo-which-platform-offers-a-smoother-user-experience\/#Creating_campaigns\" >Creating campaigns<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/omnisend-vs-klaviyo-which-platform-offers-a-smoother-user-experience\/#Building_automations\" >Building automations<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/omnisend-vs-klaviyo-which-platform-offers-a-smoother-user-experience\/#Segmenting_subscribers\" >Segmenting subscribers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/omnisend-vs-klaviyo-which-platform-offers-a-smoother-user-experience\/#Migration_support\" >Migration support<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/omnisend-vs-klaviyo-which-platform-offers-a-smoother-user-experience\/#Omnisend_vs_Klaviyo_Verdict\" >Omnisend vs. Klaviyo: Verdict<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dashboard_navigation_and_layout\"><\/span>Dashboard navigation and layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the first thing you see when you log in to your account. It\u2019s important that this dashboard is clean, organized, and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnisend gives you a clean and focused start. The design highlights the most important information right away: your sales performance and audience growth. The menu is made to be non-intrusive, which makes the dashboard even cleaner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to access other pages, the names and dropdowns only appear once you hover over them. It saves you from the initial information overload and allows you to navigate the platform at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"986\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1024x986.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1024x986.png 1024w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-768x740.png 768w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1536x1479.png 1536w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo\u2019s dashboard is completely different. It\u2019s packed with data, which may be overwhelming at first. You can see total conversions and attributed conversions by date, top performing flows, recent campaigns, and more information. The menu is also a standard one: it shows everything at once. All in all, it\u2019s more technical than Omnisend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-1024x443.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-1024x443.png 1024w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-768x332.png 768w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-1536x664.png 1536w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Having seen both dashboards at once, it\u2019s safe to assume that Omnisend\u2019s dashboard presents the most important data in a more user-friendly way, whereas Klaviyo focuses on metrics and technical details. You could say that Omnisend is growth-oriented, while Klaviyo is detail-oriented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_campaigns\"><\/span>Creating campaigns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending campaigns is one of the main features for both Omnisend and Klaviyo, so it\u2019s important to understand how it works, which platform offers a more intuitive way of sending emails, what templates they offer, and how convenient is the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both platforms have a similar drag-and-drop email builder where you can pick blocks to add to the email, and then customize them to your liking. Those said blocks, however, vary slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnisend has a \u201cProduct Picker\u201d block that allows you to add products from your store in 1 click. Once you drag-and-drop the block into your email builder, a sidebar appears where you can search for any product in your store, click on it, and it automatically adds the product to your email with the name, description, price, and a link to the product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-6-1024x482.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-6-1024x482.png 1024w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-6-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-6-768x362.png 768w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-6.png 1495w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t know which products to add, there are dynamic product options using the \u201cProduct Recommender\u201d block where you can select best-selling products, recently added products, or most viewed products. Once the campaign is launched, these placeholders will automatically show the selected products to the recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"572\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image.png 572w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo also has a similar block, but it works differently. You need to configure the product conditions via dynamic feeds, by selecting criteria such as specific collections or categories. Once that is done, you can also filter by stock status or price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if you want Klaviyo to automatically pick which products to show, you can select between several options, including best-selling products, most viewed products, products a customer recently viewed, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the extra choices are nice to have, they may also create additional confusion as to what actually works best. It aims at higher personalization, but in reality, true personalization lies in handpicked personalized automation, not automatically picked products that the customer may have accidentally viewed or added to cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"982\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5.png 982w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-768x570.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 982px) 100vw, 982px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we\u2019re focusing on user experience, Omnisend takes the win because it offers the same functions but they\u2019re more convenient and intuitive to use, especially the \u201cProduct Picker\u201d feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_automations\"><\/span>Building automations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up automations is arguably the best way to increase revenue flow via email marketing. You only need to do it once, and the workflow continues working without requiring your additional input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnisend has a large library of pre-built automation templates that give you the finished product. It comes with suggested time delays between emails, conversion-focused copy, trigger filters, audience filters, and the entire logic built for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to customize, add, or remove something, you can easily do so. If you want to use the template as a base and add more complexion to it via conditional splits or A\/B tests, all you need to do is drag-and-drop the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-1-1024x594.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-1-1024x594.png 1024w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-1-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-1-768x446.png 768w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-1.png 1063w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The interface is both powerful and comes without any unnecessarily complex elements that are usually present in automation interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo provides stronger automation capabilities with more advanced conditional branching logic and audience segmentation. It does, however, mostly appeal to enterprise businesses who have the specific need for it, and budget. Most modern online businesses, regardless of size, only need standard workflows with the possibility to make them more complex for personalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still do that with Klaviyo, but it comes at a higher monthly price than Omnisend, so it\u2019s only really worth it if you\u2019re looking beyond your current needs and expect to require niche workflows in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4.png 1000w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-768x574.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Segmenting_subscribers\"><\/span>Segmenting subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Klaviyo and Omnisend provide similar tools to segmenting your audience, the only difference for most modern businesses is the accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnisend allows you to test and use its segmentation features without restrictions. Regardless of your plan choice (free included), you can use the AI-based segmentation tool where you can enter a prompt like \u201cVIP customers who haven\u2019t bought in the last 90 days\u201d, and it will generate the segment in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo also has a similar tool, but it\u2019s locked behind a paid tier. If you\u2019re still a free user, you can only segment your subscribers the manual way by going to the dedicated page and entering filters there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Klaviyo provides more advanced segmentation capabilities, but that\u2019s reserved for the most advanced and technical users, as a regular everyday marketer is unlikely to be able to reap all the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Migration_support\"><\/span>Migration support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching platforms is a headache for every party involved: the platform loses a customer to a competitor, and the customer is stuck with having to transfer all the data without losing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnisend eliminates the pain by offering a unique migration service, called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnisend.com\/kickstart-service\/\">Kickstart service<\/a>. If, upon signing up to Omnisend, your monthly plan is $250 or more, they give you a dedicated in-house specialist who will migrate your contacts, automations, segments, templates, and more, from Klaviyo to Omnisend. It\u2019s promised to happen between 3-5 business days, and is completely free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo, on the other hand, offers either paid services or provides you with heavy documentation files so you can handle the migration yourself. If you don\u2019t want to do that, they can also refer you to their agency partners who charge their own fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Omnisend_vs_Klaviyo_Verdict\"><\/span>Omnisend vs. Klaviyo: Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo is a platform for those who are looking to an extremely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/councils\/forbesfinancecouncil\/2024\/09\/03\/unlocking-success-the-power-of-data-driven-decision-making\/\">data-driven<\/a> future with potential data science teams onboard. For standard-advanced features, the price is too high in comparison to Omnisend or most other competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnisend is a go-to choice for brands of all sizes who want a convenient and powerful platform to reach their customers. It provides the same level of power in terms of most business needs, but does it without the overly technical and complex overhead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing between email marketing tools is more than just comparing the features or pricing.
