Replace Mailchimp. Drop the Per-Contact Tax.
Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Constant Contact, and ActiveCampaign all charge per contact — Klaviyo Pro at 100K subscribers runs $1,200/month, and Marketing Cloud at 250K runs $5K+/month. Aeion Marketing at one flat $49/month — unlimited contacts, unlimited users, 14-day free trial — covers email, SMS, push, lifecycle automation, AI personalization, RFM segmentation, and landing pages — native to your CRM, Commerce, and Helpdesk data, with no integration tax and a 0% per-send fee.
Aeion Marketing ↔ Mailchimp/Klaviyo Mapping
Email + Templates
A drag-drop visual editor compiles to MJML under the hood, so every email renders correctly in Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo without the "looks broken in Outlook" surprise. Built-in deliverability optimization (DKIM/SPF/DMARC) and A/B tested subject lines come standard. Read Marketing →
SMS + Push
SMS runs through Twilio or an alternative provider, segmented the same way as email campaigns, with mobile push delivered through Aeion Mobile Builder — one automation engine driving every channel.
Lifecycle Automation
Cart abandonment, post-purchase, welcome sequences, win-back, and sunset flows all trigger off real events — a CRM record created, a Commerce order placed, a support ticket resolved — not a scheduled blast.
RFM Segmentation
Every subscriber is scored on Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value and dropped into a cohort automatically, so AI can surface high-value segments and their lifetime value without a manual spreadsheet exercise.
AI Personalization
Subject lines and body content personalize per recipient, send times optimize per segment, and AI churn prediction flags at-risk subscribers before they unsubscribe. Read Claw Content Use Case →
Landing Pages + Forms
A native landing page builder with per-campaign URL slugs and automatic UTM attribution means form submissions land straight in a CRM record — no separate landing-page tool to license and reconcile.
Per-Provider Routing
Choose your primary email provider per tenant — SendGrid, Mailgun, Resend, Postmark, or AWS SES — and route transactional sends separately from marketing sends for better deliverability on both.
CRM-Native Audience
There's no "Mailchimp audience vs. Salesforce contact" reconciliation to maintain — the email recipient, the CRM contact, the Commerce customer, and the support ticket requester are the same record. One identity.
The Per-Contact Math
Klaviyo Pro pricing (per-month):
- 5K contacts: $100
- 10K: $175
- 25K: $400
- 50K: $700
- 100K: $1,200
- 250K: $3,400
- 500K: $5,500
- 1M+: enterprise contract typically $80-300K/year
Mailchimp similar:
- 10K: $50-99/month
- 50K: $349/month
- 100K: $799/month
- 200K+: enterprise
Marketing Cloud (Salesforce):
- 250K contacts: $5,000-15,000/month
- 1M+: $30K-100K+/month
Aeion Marketing flat:
- $49/month flat — unlimited contacts, unlimited users
- 14-day free trial, no long-term contract, no per-tier upgrades
- Provider fees (SendGrid/etc) pass-through at provider rates
- 0% Aeion per-send fee
Per-100K-subscriber savings:
- Klaviyo Pro: ~$14K/year
- Aeion Marketing: $49/month ($588/year) flat
- Annual savings at 100K: ~$14K. At 500K: ~$66K. At 2M: ~$300K+.
For e-commerce + B2B mid-market: the bigger savings come from killing the Klaviyo/Mailchimp + Yotpo + Recharge + Customer.io + ActiveCampaign stack. Total typical: $50-200K/year saved.
The Migration Playbook
Phase 1 — Discovery (Week 1):
- Mailchimp/Klaviyo audit via Singularity connector

- A/B test history preserved
Phase 4 — Parallel Run (Week 4):
