What is Kit?
Kit is the email platform formerly known as ConvertKit. It is built around creators rather than marketing departments: subscribers are tagged rather than trapped in lists, automations are visual and readable, and everything you need to publish, grow and get paid — forms, landing pages, digital products, tips and paid newsletter subscriptions — lives in the same account.
The Slick Media verdict
The most creator-shaped email tool available. Kit is deliberately plain on design and exceptional at the things that actually earn money: deliverability, segmentation, automation and paid subscriptions.
AI summary
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is the creator-first email platform: tagged subscribers, visual automations, landing pages, digital products and paid newsletters in one account, with the Creator Network driving organic subscriber growth. The most creator-shaped email tool available — plain by design, excellent at sending text emails people actually read and paying you for them.
Why choose Kit
Choose Kit if your business is an audience. It is the shortest path from a new subscriber to a paying customer without stitching together an email tool, a landing page builder and a checkout.

Kit FAQs
Is Kit the same as ConvertKit?
Yes. ConvertKit rebranded to Kit in 2024. It is the same company, product and account — only the name and branding changed.
Does Kit have a free plan?
Yes. Kit is free up to 10,000 subscribers with unlimited landing pages, forms and broadcasts. Visual automations, sequences and integrations require the Creator plan.
Can I sell products and paid newsletters with Kit?
Yes. Kit Commerce lets you sell digital products, courses, tips and paid newsletter subscriptions with Stripe, without a separate checkout tool.
Will Kit migrate my list for me?
Kit offers free done-for-you migration from platforms like Mailchimp, Substack and Beehiiv on paid plans, including forms, sequences and subscriber tags.
What is the Creator Network?
It is Kit's built-in recommendation engine: other creators can recommend your newsletter at their subscribe confirmation step, and you can recommend theirs, which drives organic list growth.
About Kit
Founded in 2013 as ConvertKit by Nathan Barry, the company rebranded to Kit in 2024 to reflect a wider toolkit for professional creators. It now serves hundreds of thousands of newsletter writers, course creators and independent businesses, and runs the Creator Network, a recommendation engine that helps creators grow each other's audiences.
