Cause of death: the autopsy
Klaviyo documents the fix itself: suppressed profiles don't count toward the bill and bulk suppress is one menu action; Mailchimp's archive is free too. Four near-identical apps already sold it for $0-9 a month, all with 0 reviews and one already gone. Klaviyo's wide price steps mean cutting a typical 10k list by 40% saves about $20 a month, mostly once, so lifetime value of about $36-54 can't pay for any ads. Scored 15/25.
The numbers
None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
Could rise again if
Rival cleaner apps show 25+ reviews or 1,000+ installs by early 2027, or Klaviyo cuts its price-tier step size.
