Pros

“Kit’s up to 10K email subscribers on the free tier is generous on its face, especially because it includes landing pages, forms, broadcasts and tagging. But if you allow yourself to accumulate 10,000 subscribers on the free tier, subscriber 10,001 is going to cost you, as of the time of this review, either $116/mo or $1,390/yr.”

Faydra D.

“Overall, I think Kit is very good at what it is clearly built to do: help creators grow and email an audience without getting buried in technical complexity. But it is not the best fit for every small business, and it is not the platform I would automatically recommend when customization, reply-routing flexibility, advanced reporting or budget-sensitive scaling are high priorities.”

Faydra D.

Most-Things-Web Consultant

“I've been doing web work since 1999, and in every CRM and email marketing platform I ever used for my own purposes and/or setup up for clients I was immediately directed to set up a sending domain.”

Pros

“Wish there were more design template options for both the newsletter and the archives page, and that readers had a more visible way of interacting so they can reply/comment to each other on posts.”

Amanda S.

freelance writer

“In addition to being easy to use, the company provides personalized support: the team quickly responds to any email you send them, making the experience of using the service as close to being served by someone at the counter of a store with years of tradition as possible, rather than the cold service of a mega corporation.”

Adriano M.

Owner

“In a world where social media is trying to control the message as well as the means, it is vital to have a direct way to contact those interested in my work.”

Dusty P.

Cons

“Also, you are not allowed to use one email for sending and another email as "reply-to" on ANY plan, free or paid.”

Faydra D.

Most-Things-Web Consultant

“Going from $0 to (at the time of this review) $33/mo or $390/yr is not budget-friendly to bootstrapping solopreneurs, and I primarily work with bootstrapping solopreneurs.”

Faydra D.

“Reporting is pretty basic and the landing page templates feel dated.”

Wren W.

Owner and Operator

Cons

“I accidentally misnamed the newsletter at first because I thought I was just filling out a username for the website, although I haven't used one of these sites before.”

Cass A.

Head Writer for Non-fiction

“Then seeing the poor delivery rate & getting no response from support for weeks, I grew frustrated and disappointed, and started looking for alternatives.”

Rupert M.

CEO

“I've gotten several emails about my newsletters landing in spam, which is a bummer.”
