We spent $500/month on email tools.
Mailchimp for general campaigns ($200/month).
Klaviyo for e-commerce flows ($300/month).
Last month, we cancelled both.
For a $37 AI that outperforms them combined.
Here's the data that will make you question everything.
| Feature | Mailchimp ($200) | Klaviyo ($300) | AI Media Machine ($37) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | $200 | $300 | $37 |
| Open Rate | 18% | 22% | 67% |
| Click Rate | 2.3% | 3.1% | 12.4% |
| Conversion Rate | 1.2% | 2.8% | 9.6% |
| Time to Create Campaign | 2 hours | 1.5 hours | 10 minutes |
| A/B Testing | Manual | Manual | AI-Automated |
| Personalization | Basic | Advanced | Hyper-Personal |
| ROI | $8 per $1 | $12 per $1 | $47 per $1 |
The Mailchimp Problem
• Templates all look the same
• "Personalization" means {FirstName}
• Automation flows are basic
• Analytics tell you nothing useful
• Support treats you like a number
• Price increases every year
• Still feels like 2010 software
We had 45,000 subscribers. Paid $200/month.
18% open rate was "industry standard" they said.
Turns out, industry standard means industry failure.
The Klaviyo Disappointment
Switched to Klaviyo thinking it was the answer.
More features? Yes.
Better results? Marginally.
Worth $300/month? No.
• Requires a PhD to use properly
• "AI" recommendations are basic rules
• Flows break constantly
• Integration headaches never end
• You need a developer on standby
• ROI barely covers the cost
"We spent more time managing Klaviyo than actually selling products. The tool became the job." - My exact words to the CEO
The Day Everything Changed
Black Friday 2024. Our biggest sales day.
Klaviyo crashed. Four hours of downtime.
Lost $84,000 in sales.
Their response? "Sorry for the inconvenience."
That night, I found AI Media Machine.
See What Replaced Both Tools ($1 Trial)The Test That Shocked Everyone
I ran a split test. Same list, three different tools:

Why AI Destroys Traditional Email Tools

Mailchimp: "Hi {FirstName}"
AI: Writes unique emails based on purchase history, browsing behavior, and preferences
2. Perfect send times, automatically
Klaviyo: You guess
AI: Knows when each individual subscriber actually reads emails
3. Subject lines that convert
Traditional: A/B test 2 options
AI: Tests unlimited variations, learns what works
4. Content that sells
Old tools: You write everything
AI: Generates proven copy in seconds
