Overview

Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is an email marketing platform built for professional creators — newsletter authors, bloggers, podcasters, and coaches. It combines email broadcasts and sequences, visual automations, landing pages and forms, and digital product sales in one tool, with pricing that scales by subscriber count. The company was founded in 2013 by Nathan Barry and rebranded from ConvertKit to Kit in 2024.

The problem Kit solves

Independent creators trying to turn an audience into income usually end up juggling a newsletter tool, a landing-page builder, an automation platform, and a separate checkout for digital products. Kit folds all of that into one email-first platform — broadcasts, visual automations, unlimited landing pages and forms, and native digital product sales — so a solo creator can capture, nurture, and monetize subscribers without stitching four tools together.
