About Kit (ConvertKit)
ConvertKit (Kit) is the email marketing platform most creators, newsletters and course sellers end up on once a free tool stops being enough. The strengths show up in two places — tagging model is cleaner than Mailchimp's lists, and visual automation builder is excellent. The core workflow runs on Visual Automations and Tagging, with the rest of the suite plugging into those two. There's a genuinely free plan to start, with paid upgrades for teams that outgrow it. Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is the cleanest email tool for creators and newsletter writers.
