Stop the Klaviyo tier jump before your renewal.
Klaviyo bills on active profiles, so subscribers who never open and bots who filled in your popup push you into a pricier plan. 48 hours before each renewal, TierBrake suppresses the profiles that cost you money and never buy, and your next invoice lands a tier lower.
$170
less a month on Klaviyo, $2,040 a year, if 13,000 profiles are suppressed before renewal.
- Billed now
- Up to 50,000 profiles, $720/mo
- Cold or bot profiles
- 16,800 profiles
- After the trim
- Up to 35,000 profiles, $550/mo

Why the bill climbs on its own
- You pay for everyone you could email
- Klaviyo prices email plans on active profiles, not on who opens. A subscriber from 2022 who never opened costs the same as your best customer. Klaviyo billing FAQ
- Plans move up, not down
- When active profiles outgrow your tier, Klaviyo moves you up at the end of the billing cycle. It only moves you back down if you turn on auto-downgrade or downgrade by hand. Billing preferences
- Black Friday signups count at renewal
- Every popup signup and bot form fill becomes an active profile. A November list spike shows up on the next invoice, whether those profiles ever open or not.
What happens before each renewal
Dry-run preview
We read your cold-profile segment, take out anyone with an order in the last 365 days, and flag likely bot signups. You see the exact count, the tier it lands you on, and the monthly saving. Nothing changes yet.
Trim, 48 hours out
Once you approve, we suppress those profiles through Klaviyo's API in batches of 100 and keep a CSV backup of every one. Klaviyo checks for a lower tier 24 hours before your billing cycle ends, so the smaller count is in place in time.
Renewal receipt
After renewal you get the before and after: profiles billed, the tier you landed on, and what it saved. Agencies get one per client to show their work.
Why a flow webhook isn't billing protection
Klaviyo's Solution Recipe 9 suppresses profiles from a segment-triggered flow, and Klaviyo now suggests suppressions on its own. Both help with list hygiene. Neither knows what your plan costs or when it renews.
| Question | TierBrake | Flow webhook (Recipe 9) | Klaviyo suppression suggestions |
|---|---|---|---|
| When it runs | 48 hours before every renewal | Once, when a profile first enters the segment | When you open the banner and click suppress |
| Knows your plan ceiling | Works out the exact cut that drops you a tier | No | No |
| Recent buyers | Never touches anyone with an order in the last 365 days | Only if your segment excludes them | Keeps profiles with recent clicks or orders |
| Bot signups | Flags throwaway domains, link-stuffed names and random-string addresses | Only if your segment catches them | Not targeted |
| Before anything changes | Dry-run preview and a CSV backup of every profile | Nothing | A review screen |
| After renewal | A receipt: profiles billed, tier and dollars saved | Nothing | Nothing |
| Your private API key | Stored encrypted, scoped, revocable any time | Pasted into a flow's webhook header | Not needed |
Turn on auto-downgrade, or a smaller list won't shrink your invoice
Suppressing profiles lowers your count. Klaviyo only lowers your plan if your billing preferences allow it. Do these three steps once, as the account owner or an admin.
- In Klaviyo, open Billing > Preferences and set the email upgrade preference to None or Flexible overages. Auto-downgrade can't run alongside Automatically upgrade. Source
- In the Profiles auto-downgrade section, select Auto-downgrade profiles and click Update.
- Don't upgrade by hand before renewal. An upgrade before the downgrade takes effect cancels it. Source

Questions
Does my export get uploaded?
No. The export check reads the file inside your browser tab. We log only totals, such as how many rows were checked and how many were flagged, so we know the tool is being used.
Will you suppress a customer?
Not anyone who ordered in the last 365 days. Before every trim we check each Placed Order event in that window and take those people out of the list. You approve the dry-run preview before anything is suppressed.
What does suppressing a profile do?
Suppressed profiles stay in your account with their history, but they can't receive marketing email and don't count toward your plan limits. Klaviyo explains it here.
Can I undo a trim?
Yes. Every trim comes with a CSV backup, and you can unsuppress profiles in Klaviyo. Know Klaviyo's 90-day rule first: once a manually suppressed profile is unsuppressed, Klaviyo won't let it be manually suppressed again for 90 days. We warn you before any undo.
What access does the API key need?
A custom private key with Profiles (full access), Subscriptions (full access), Events (read access), Metrics (read access), Lists (read access), Segments (read access). You can revoke it in Klaviyo at any time.
What if my bill doesn't drop?
If your first renewal with us doesn't land on a lower Klaviyo tier, we refund Month 1. Applies when the 3-step Klaviyo billing checklist is done before that renewal.
Is TierBrake part of Klaviyo?
No. TierBrake is an independent tool that works through Klaviyo's public API with a key you create and control.
