Stop paying
for ghosts.
Klaviyo bills you for every stored emailable profile — including the thousands who checked out once in 2022 and never opened anything again. Ghostfee finds them, suppresses them through Klaviyo's own API right before your billing recount, and shows you the receipt.
No card. Tell us about your store and we'll email your real number within 48 hours.

Your list grew. Your revenue didn't. Your bill did.
In February 2025 Klaviyo moved every account to billing on stored active profiles instead of what you send. Lists accumulate. Bills only go up. These are real complaints, linked to their sources.
"Been paying for 50K+ profiles when maybe 15K actually give a ■■■■ about my emails... My email revenue hasn't budged in months but my bill keeps going up."
Shopify merchant, Aug 2025 · community.shopify.com ↗"A 50k list on Klaviyo runs $790+/mo... The markup is enormous."
Hacker News, Mar 2026 · hn.algolia.com ↗A 20,000-contact store emailing only 8,000 people jumped from $150/mo to $375/mo from the billing change alone.
Documented case · retainful.com ↗Suppressed profiles are free. Klaviyo says so itself.
Ghostfee automates the exact cost-management mechanism Klaviyo documents in its own help center — with guardrails, timing, and an audit trail.
Scan
Connect with a read-scoped API key. Ghostfee buckets every profile: Engaged, Drifting, Ghosts, Protected. You see the dollar figure before anything happens.
Guard
Rules protect future buyers: never suppress recent purchasers, recent signups, or anyone mid-sunset-flow. Unsuppression is a 90-day commitment, so restores fire only on strong signals — checkout started, resubscribed.
Suppress before the recount
Suppression lands ~36 hours before your billing cycle recounts profiles, so the recount sees your real list — and prices you on the tier you actually use.
Find your row. Subtract your ghosts. That's the projection.
| Stored profiles | Klaviyo bill* | Typical ghost share† | Projected bill after Ghostfee | Projected saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $150/mo | — | $150/mo | usually not worth it — we'll tell you |
| 20,000 | $375/mo | 40–60% | $150–225/mo | $150–225/mo |
| 50,000 | $720/mo | 40–60% | $375–470/mo | $250–345/mo |
| 100,000 | $1,380/mo | 40–60% | $720–900/mo | $480–660/mo |
| 250,000 | $2,300/mo | 40–60% | $1,380–1,600/mo | $700–920/mo |
* Tier prices per two independent third-party summaries that agree exactly (retainful.com); Klaviyo's own pricing page is JS-rendered and couldn't be machine-verified — check your invoice for your exact tier. † Ghost share is a projection from tier arithmetic and competitor-reported ranges, not measured customer data. Your audit computes your actual number.
Five things most tools would put in small print.
- You can do a one-time clean yourself, free, in about 20 minutes. Build a segment, click "Suppress current members" — Klaviyo's docs show you how. Ghostfee sells the recurring automation, the billing-cycle timing, and the guardrails — not secret knowledge.
- Every savings number is a projection until your first recount lands. Our copy says "projected" because we don't have your ledger yet.
- We are not the cheapest. unblot ($49–149), List Hygiene ($30), and Prune ($9) are live rivals. We're betting you care more about never suppressing a future buyer than about $50.
- Unsuppressing has a 90-day lock on Klaviyo's side, so our restore logic is deliberately conservative.
- Platform risk is real. This whole category rests on Klaviyo's documented policy that suppressed profiles are free. If Klaviyo changes that, Ghostfee's value drops to zero and you can cancel monthly — which is exactly why there's no annual lock-in.
Why tell you all this? Because our first users will come from communities that smell marketing from orbit, and because the audit is free — if the number isn't worth it, you'll know before we've cost you anything.
The audit is free. The autopilot is $59.
