What Kit does

Kit is an email tool made for creators. You use it to grow a list, send newsletters and set up automatic email series, and you can sell digital products and subscriptions from the same place.

It used to be called ConvertKit. The pricing is based on how many subscribers you have, and the page shows its prices for 1,000 subscribers.

It has a free plan with the basics. The paid plans add automation, integrations, SMS and stronger insight tools.

Setup and learning curve

You can set up a form and send a first email on day one. A full automation setup usually takes a few days.

Prices show in your local currency where a company lists them. Tools without a local price stay in USD, so do not compare those rows number for number.

Entry prices are for the cheapest paid plan and use each company's own billing basis (annual or monthly, local currency), so compare them as a guide, not a quote.
