Have tried to use it for some time, a couple of days but the long list of disadvantages have made me find better and cheaper alternative.
Frankly speaking it would be hard for me to state positive sides to this SaaS. maybe the only one that I can say it's that it has a free version, so you can decide if it's for you prior to paying. Well there is one big plus and it's the support. They will try to help you.
Starting with it's core strength stated everywhere - simplicity. Well they made it so simple and haven't used common sense feature that it took me 10 minutes to find how to delete a block while trying to create an email ... It is marketed as perfect for creative people with less features that you don't need, but I really didn't find any added value only missing features with higher price tag. The free version comes with one BIG disadvantage, they will grant you the promised 1000 subscribers IF you send invitations to 10 other people. Each new person who joins will add you 100 subscribers. The the sad thing is that they haven't said that nowhere so you can read it before you sing up ...

The learning curve of this software is very straight forward.
I still think the price is a little high if you compare to other softwares, specially if the dollar is not your main currency.

Great experience. Have been using it for years.
What I like most about Convertkit is the ease of use. A beginner can go in and learn how to send emails, create campaigns, incentivize emails, email sequence setup and more very easily. What kept me away from email marketing for a long time was difficulty. I tried with a few different competitors with no success.
The pricing is a bit high. I wish there was a free option with a slow progression in price. The starting price is high and it gets even higher with the more subscribers you have.

I was initially drawn to this software based on positive reviews from colleagues and how intuitive and all inclusive it was meant to be.
I did not find it to be intuitive or easy to use - it seemed to require a more tech literate baseline. I'm guessing with time and effort I could have made it work but in the startup phase of my business, which is when I was trialing it, I had neither.

ConvertKit is an excellent platform for creators, mainly because it was itself created by a creator.
It could get expensive with time. But it is worth it.

Overall, I loved the software and how easy it was to use. I just had to stop using it for budget reasons.
I loved how easy it was to set up automations and keep subscribers categorized with tags instead of using lists.
The only con for me was the price. This one is a little more expensive than others.

First of all, I like how affordable is it compared to other email marketing tools. It's a robust tool with lots of marketing features.
Overall, Convertkit is great, Sometimes I feel, the email filtration feature could improve further.

Overall I would recommend ConvertKit to Blogger’s & business owners who don’t mind spending a little bit extra money for an email marketing software.
Convert kit is amazing for bloggers who are in need of a great email marketing tool. I love their automation feature which let you set up multiple email automations for different subscriber groups.
One con about this software is that it’s very expensive. If you are just starting out as a Blogger or a business owner it’s not as budget friendly.

ConvertKit is a powerful, easy-to-use, and affordable email marketing tool. I have been using it for landing pages, and I love how easy it is to get started. It's also helped us get new email subscribers.
ConvertKit has a limited email templates option and with their free plan, you can add only 300 subscribers. In my opinion, they're great and I recommend them to anyone looking to get started with email marketing.

It has made me enjoy writing emails, which is hard because you don't wan to annoy people.
Email software can be a lot from the set up to the actual use of the program. I tried others and they just made me not want to send emails. ConvertKit makes it super easy with the clean interface and easy to use tagging. If you have an email list that you are pretty active on I think ConvkertKit could be the winning factor for you. There are some advanced features like tagging, segmenting, all kinds of things that are soo useful!
If you have more advanced needs especially for really big list llike 100k or more it might be too simple for you.

Overall, I'm happy with ConvertKit. They support their customers with great help articles, on demand support, and continuing education. It's easy to get started with the email marketing basics using this software!
If using in it's most basic form, it's easy to use. Settings up sequences and formatting emails are a breeze! ConverKit has great customer service - there's a chat option on the platform, a Facebook group with support, and they often release education/training webinars when new features are added.
There's definitely a learning curve when it comes to tagging, segmenting, and using the visual automation and rules. It takes some time to set up, trial and error, and a bit of playing around with to get comfortable. I've been using CovertKit for over a year and am still intimidated by some of the more robust features.

I really liked the options for sending out emails. I felt like if you're a blogger or a teacher of some sort and you have a lot to share with your audience, then this is the email service for you. It's really easy to use and doesn't put you in a box of "share something short and sweet so we can move on to the next thing".
I had clients that I wanted to keep better tabs on. I think I just needed to enter more information than what the system could provide.

Convertkit is my #2 favorite email service provider.
It is easy to use and set up. I love the email editor.
I think it's pricey at the lower tier level.

Never had an issue with Convertkit, just works. Great to collect data, great to segment and easy to create and send emails or produce sequences. Just a really good piece of software.
The ease of use! Simple, straightforward and very intuitive to get up and running. Great templates to capture data as well as a rock solid segmentation system.
Needs a few more squeeze page templates, lags behind say, Lead Pages by quite a way.

Ease of use and worth the price. Starting at $29.00/month (paid version), I think ConvertKit is an affordable email marketing tool that works.
I think they have quite a few email templates.

A Total wast to time, effort and enjoyment.
I like the fact that they offer happy training
They make it extremely difficult to get anything out of it, with all their technical jargon and crap. Doing everything they can to make it extremely hard to use without having to pay for it.

A lot of great features on offer, even on the free version! It's also an extra bonus that you can sell digital products through the software!
No big dislikes for Convertkit so far because I don't need the full range of features yet for where I am in my business

Very good - excellent customer service.
I love the way you can segment your email list and send broadcasts to those interested.
I will be glad when new templates for the landing pages come out but the ones they have work well.

I love using it for email marketing and list building. Wish there were more custom landing page features.
This program has a pretty small learning curve and is pretty easy to use. I love the dashboard where you can see your new subscribers and conversion rates at a glance.
I wish there were more customized features for landing pages. I also wish there were more split testing options.
