Email cost
calculator
Contact-based platforms bill you for every profile you store — even the ones you never email. Compare your monthly cost on Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and Bitelio, and see what usage-based pricing actually saves.
The total profiles stored in your list — what Klaviyo and Mailchimp bill on.
Your monthly send volume — what Bitelio bills on. Contacts stay unlimited.
You'd save ~$125/mo (83%) vs Klaviyo
Your estimated monthly cost
Unlimited contacts
Estimates based on each provider's public pricing (2026); contacts vs. usage-based models differ — verify on their sites.
Contacts vs. usage.
Two providers can quote wildly different numbers for the same list — because they bill on different things.
Contact-based billing
Mailchimp and Klaviyo price on the number of profiles in your list. Grow the list and the bill climbs — whether or not you email those people this month.
Usage-based billing
Bitelio prices on the emails you actually send. Store a million contacts for free; you only pay when you press send. A big, low-frequency list barely costs anything.
Where it bites hardest
Large lists that you email occasionally are the worst case for contact-based pricing — you carry the cost of every stored profile all month for a handful of campaigns.
Free tiers differ too
Free plans are capped by contacts elsewhere (500 on Mailchimp, 250 on Klaviyo). Bitelio's free plan caps sends at 1,000/month and keeps contacts unlimited.
Overage, not step-ups
Contact tiers jump in big steps as your list crosses thresholds. Bitelio adds volume smoothly at $1.20 per 1,000 emails above your plan — no cliff-edge upgrades.
Same features everywhere
On Bitelio every plan includes automations, campaigns, transactional, segments, and analytics. Upgrading buys capacity, not unlocked features.
Stop paying per contact.
