Kit is designed for people who sell their own expertise, so it fits consultants, coaches, writers and makers better than a typical retail shop. Its free plan is unusually large at up to 10,000 subscribers and includes unlimited landing pages and forms, unlimited broadcasts, tagging and segmentation, and the ability to sell digital products and subscriptions. That means a solo business can grow a sizable newsletter before paying anything. Creator starts at $33 a month billed yearly for 1,000 subscribers and adds unlimited visual automations and email sequences, polls, SMS marketing, RSS campaigns, removal of Kit branding and 24/7 email and chat support. Pro, from $66, adds engagement scoring, deliverability reporting, a referral system and unlimited users. The weak point for a budget is the jump from free to $33, which is the highest entry price on this list, so it works best for businesses that earn directly from their audience.
