Small business owner is unsure whether to switch from an affordable email marketing tool to a more expensive one that offers better e-commerce integrations and automations.

The owner is on a legacy plan with Flodesk that is affordable and easy to design with, but it lacks Shopify integrations and advanced automations. Klaviyo offers these but costs 2-3x more, and the owner is less familiar with its design tools.
