Kit pricing: the quick answer

Quick answerHigh· Verified July 8, 2026

Kit, formerly ConvertKit, runs from free to $66 per month at 1,000 subscribers: a free Newsletter plan for up to 10,000 subscribers, then Creator at $33/mo ($390 a year) and Pro at $66/mo ($790 a year). Both paid plans price by subscriber count, so the monthly rate climbs as your list grows past the 1,000-subscriber band. No plan has a send limit. The catch sits outside the plan fee: selling digital products carries a percentage-plus-fixed cut on every transaction.

Kit Hidden Costs & Pitfalls

What sits on top of the plan fee

Kit's plan price is the 1,000-subscriber entry, and the number that actually grows is your subscriber count. On top of that, anything you sell or recommend through Kit carries its own cut, which the plan price does not cover.

Subscriber-tier scaling
Creator is priced by subscriber band, and it climbs fast: $39/mo at 1,000 subscribers, $59 at 3,000, $89 at 5,000, $139 at 10,000, and $199 at 25,000. So a creator who reads the $39 headline and grows a real list is budgeting a couple hundred a month before long. Kit auto-upgrades you to the next tier when you cross it and never interrupts sending, and cleaning your list back down is a manual request, so the meter only ratchets up on its own.
$39 to $199/mo on Creator by band
Commerce transaction fee
Selling digital products or subscriptions through Kit costs 3.5 percent plus 30 cents per transaction on every plan, including the free one, with card processing folded in and Kit's own cut at 0.6 percent. On a $50 product that is about $2.05 skimmed per sale. It is competitive with standalone checkout tools, but it means the plan fee is not your only cost if you monetize, so model the fee into your product margins.
3.5% + $0.30 per sale
Paid Recommendations cut
If you earn through Kit's Paid Recommendations network on Creator or Pro, Kit takes 23.5 percent of those earnings. That is a revenue share rather than a bill, so it never shows on your invoice, but it does mean a chunk of the referral income the feature generates goes back to Kit. Treat recommendation earnings as net of that cut when you decide whether the paid tiers pay for themselves.

low $7median $13 · n=19high $49

Kit keeps a genuinely generous free Newsletter plan (up to 10,000 subscribers, unlimited broadcasts, and digital product sales), then Creator opens at $39/mo at 1,000 subscribers, or $33/mo on annual billing. The catch is the subscriber ladder: Creator runs $89/mo at 5,000 subscribers and $199/mo at 25,000, so the entry price understates what a growing creator pays. Pro at $66/mo adds engagement scoring, deliverability reporting, and unlimited users. For creators who monetize, the tools are strong, but the price tracks your audience, not the sticker.

Cost drivers

  • 1Creator scales by subscriber band from $39/mo at 1,000 subscribers to $199/mo at 25,000, and Kit auto-upgrades you to the next tier when you cross it.
  • 2Selling digital products carries a 3.5% + $0.30 transaction fee on every plan, including the free one.
  • 3Paid Recommendations earnings on Creator and Pro are subject to a 23.5% revenue share to Kit.

Watch-outs

The recurring complaint is cost at scale: buyers say Kit gets expensive as the list grows, and the subscriber-based curve punishes creators who build an audience faster than they monetize it.

Strengths

The free tier is a real one, and the creator tooling is genuinely good.

  • Free Newsletter plan supports up to 10,000 subscribers with no send limits
  • Tag-based segmentation and an intuitive visual automation builder
  • Annual billing gives two months free ($390/yr Creator, $790/yr Pro) plus free migration

Editor’s take

The free Newsletter plan is excellent for beginners, and Creator at $39/mo (or $33 annual) fits solopreneurs who need real automation. Pro at $66/mo earns its keep only if you want engagement scoring and deliverability reporting. Just price it at your actual subscriber count, not the 1,000-subscriber floor, and factor the sales fees if you monetize. If the subscriber curve gets steep, ActiveCampaign is worth comparing for heavier automation.
