Kit will not suit every business. Use the replacement criteria below and compare reviews covering the same needs where available.
Kit is presented as an email marketing and monetisation tool for creators. Its review focuses on creators, authors and independent newsletters. Before migrating, check that the new solution actually improves this aspect without creating difficulties around audience size and monetisation features.
The point specific to Kit: Kit clearly targets creators: its free plan has a generous subscriber allowance, while Creator and Pro differ mainly in automation, analytics, collaboration and monetisation tools.
