Kit is built around the creator who publishes, grows a list and sells to it. Its free plan is unusually generous, allowing up to 10,000 subscribers with unlimited broadcasts, unlimited landing pages and forms, audience tagging and segmentation, and the ability to sell digital products and subscriptions. The step up is Creator, listed at $33 per month billed yearly for 1,000 subscribers, which adds unlimited visual automations and email sequences, polls, RSS campaigns, SMS marketing, app integrations and removal of Kit branding. Pro adds a newsletter referral system, subscriber engagement scoring, deliverability reporting and unlimited users, with a first-year discount that renews at the standard rate. Kit says more than 550,000 creator business owners use it. The weak point for a small business is that the automation tools sit behind a paywall and the paid tiers cost more than MailerLite or Brevo at the same list size. For creators who want to monetize a newsletter, the free tier and commerce features make it a strong second choice.
