ConvertKit vs Klaviyo: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend email marketing platforms, Klaviyo is recommended more often than ConvertKit — scoring 26/100 for AI visibility versus 14/100. Klaviyo shows up in 30% of AI answers to real buyer questions; ConvertKit shows up in 20%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Klaviyo is clearly favoured: ConvertKit is recommended 0% of the time and Klaviyo 40%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best email marketing platform for small businesses?” is more likely to put Klaviyo on its shortlist. ConvertKit is largely invisible in AI answers for email marketing platforms — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
