Kit (née ConvertKit) is what you use when your newsletter has to do five other jobs: gate a lead magnet, sell a course, run a launch sequence, segment by interest, and not break.
We assessed Kit alongside the rest of our newsletters & email reviews, including Beehiiv, Ghost and ActiveCampaign, so the score below is relative to that field.
The rebrand was a vibe play. The product is still the most operator-friendly automation builder in the creator-grade tier.
| PLAN | PRICE | WHAT YOU GET |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 /mo | basic newsletter tools |
| Creator | see vendor | paid subscriptions, takes a % fee |
| Creator Plus | see vendor | premium features |
