Kit
Creator-focused email marketing
Free tier + paidSEO, growth & newsletterkit.com
What it is
Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is email marketing built for writers: broadcasts, visual automations, tag-based segmentation, forms, landing pages and digital product sales. The free Newsletter plan reaches 10,000 subscribers, and a creator network drives recommendations between publications.
Why it earns a slot
Tag-and-segment beats list-based tools when one publication runs several beats — readers self-select topics and receive only what they asked for. Ten thousand free subscribers is the most generous free tier in serious email.
Know before you commit
Sequences, advanced automations and most integrations are paid; free stops at one basic automation. Pricing steps up by subscriber count, so a viral month raises the bill automatically.
Neighbourhood
How Kit sits against the rest of the atlas — swaps, companions and the tools builders actually save alongside it.
