About Us

Marketing Automation for Everyone

We're building the open source alternative to Klaviyo. Powerful marketing automation that respects your data and your wallet.

Our Mission

E-commerce businesses deserve powerful marketing tools without the enterprise price tag. We started Kling because we believe marketing automation should be accessible to everyone, from small shops to large enterprises.

By making Kling open source, we're giving businesses the choice to self-host and own their data, or use our managed cloud service. Either way, you get the same powerful features without per-email fees eating into your margins.

Our Values

Open Source First

We believe in transparency and community. Kling is and will always be open source.

Customer Focused

Built by marketers, for marketers. Every feature is designed to solve real problems.

Privacy Respecting

Your data is yours. Self-host for complete control, or trust us with Kling Cloud.

Simple Yet Powerful

Complex marketing automation shouldn't require complex setup. We make it simple.

Our Story

Kling was born out of frustration with existing marketing automation tools. As e-commerce operators ourselves, we watched our Klaviyo bills grow exponentially as our contact lists expanded. We knew there had to be a better way.

We looked at open source alternatives but found them lacking in the sophisticated features we needed: visual flow builders, AI-powered campaign creation, advanced segmentation, and seamless e-commerce integrations.

So we built Kling. It's the marketing automation platform we wished existed. Open source, feature-rich, and designed from the ground up for modern e-commerce.

Today, Kling powers marketing for hundreds of e-commerce businesses, from small Shopify stores to large enterprises. And we're just getting started.
