Omnisend is the store owner's Klaviyo alternative: free to start, $16 a month at 500 contacts, and built around abandoned carts rather than newsletters.

Pros

What we like

  • Free plan is real
  • E-commerce automations are the product, not an add-on
  • Clear per-contact pricing

Cons

Limitations

  • Promotional pricing on the page makes the regular rate easy to misread
  • Costs climb with contacts like every ESP in the class
  • Less depth for non-store senders
