Quick Answers
If I already pay for Klaviyo, why add another tool?
Three reasons: (1) Klaviyo Popups doesn't offer spin wheel, surveys, or countdown campaigns. (2) The popup editor is far more limited than a dedicated tool. (3) Nudgesmart's starter tier is free, so you can test without paying.
Will using Nudgesmart with Klaviyo cause duplicate subscribers?
No, Nudgesmart syncs to your existing Klaviyo lists via API. Klaviyo handles deduplication natively.
Does Klaviyo Popups slow down my site?
The Klaviyo onsite script loads on every page regardless of whether a popup is shown. Nudgesmart only loads campaign code when an active campaign exists.
