    Our take

    Understanding Kit.

    Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is built for creators and solo businesses growing an audience through email.

    Kit: when it makes sense.

    As soon as you have 500+ subscribers and want to monetize

    Keep if

    500+ subscribers and active monetization (courses, products, services). Need for advanced marketing automations

    Kit becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€25) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    Simple monthly newsletter without sales. Fewer than 500 subscribers

    Kit becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • brevo (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use

    How much does Kit cost?

    The AI angle

    Kit vs AI

    AI augments this tool
    Go further with AI

    Kit (formerly ConvertKit) added AI to generate emails and automations, but remains email marketing infrastructure specifically designed for creators monetizing an audience.

    Can AI replace it?

    Replace Kit with an AI? No: sending emails to a subscriber list with deliverability and automations remains a technical infrastructure need. AI helps write the emails, it doesn't replace the sending platform. Verdict: AI augments writing, sending infrastructure remains the product.
