    Our take

    Understanding Kit.

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

    Practical uses

    • Monetize newsletter via paid subscriptions.
    • Sell integrated courses and digital products.
    • Welcome and upsell sequence automation.
    • Manage newsletter from Claude chat.
    • Audience analytics and newsletter performance.

    Pros and cons

    What Kit does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

    Pros

    • Generous free tier (10k subscribers).
    • Aucune commission prélevée sur vos revenus.
    • Everything-in-one: newsletter + courses + products.
    • Visual automation builder accessible.
    • MCP Claude integration for chat-based management.
    • Modern, professional templates.

    Cons

    • Creator-focused (not B2B).
    • Automation less advanced than ActiveCampaign.
    • No SMS/multi-channel.
    • Smaller audience than Mailchimp.
    • Learning curve with MCP if new.

    Kit: when it makes sense.

    Kit wins for monetizing creators; for B2B email or advanced features, Mailchimp/ActiveCampaign better.

    Keep if

    You're a creator monetizing newsletter + courses + digital products.. You want a ConvertKit alternative without commissions.

    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

    You're doing pure B2B email marketing (Mailchimp better).. You need multi-channel (SMS, etc).

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

    Our verdict on Kit.

    Why this verdict

    Decent

    Kit is fairly easy to replace with an alternative, a free tier to test before paying, clearly documented use cases.
