Their Pitch

Person-first marketing automation

Our Take

It's email marketing automation for ecommerce. Basically Klaviyo's older competitor that still gets the job done.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Your abandoned cart emails are generic blasts that convert poorly** → Automated sequences that reference actual products and send at optimal times
  • +**You're manually segmenting customers based on purchase history** → Dynamic segments that update automatically based on behavior and buying patterns
  • +**Your email campaigns look the same whether someone spent $50 or $500** → Personalized product recommendations based on browsing and purchase data
  • +Cross-channel messaging that includes SMS and push notifications - not just email in a vacuum

Best For

  • >Ecommerce stores that tried Klaviyo and got sticker shock
  • >You're already profitable and need reliable email automation without the learning curve
  • >Your current email tool can't handle abandoned cart sequences properly

Not For

  • -Small stores under $100K revenue — the pricing assumes you're already making serious money
  • -Anyone wanting the newest features first — Listrak follows trends, doesn't set them
  • -Stores that need extensive customization — it's built for standard ecommerce flows, not unique business models

Pairs With

  • *Shopify (where your product catalog and customer data actually lives)
  • *Google Analytics (to track which email campaigns actually drive revenue, not just clicks)
  • *Slack (where your team coordinates campaign launches and argues about subject lines)
  • *Zendesk (for customer service tickets when email preferences get messed up)
  • *Facebook Ads (to retarget email subscribers who didn't convert the first time)

The Catch

  • !The interface feels like it was designed in 2015 and never got a proper refresh
  • !Setup requires more technical knowledge than they admit — expect to involve your developer
  • !Customer support response times can stretch to 48+ hours during busy periods

Bottom Line

The email marketing tool your ecommerce store uses when Klaviyo feels too trendy or expensive.
