Kit pricing at fixed list sizes

Kit bills on active unique subscribers and includes unlimited sends on every paid plan, so send volume never moves the bill. The free plan runs to 10,000 subscribers, which is the most generous free tier in this dataset by a wide margin.

How Kit decides what to charge

Kit bills on active unique subscribers and includes unlimited sends on every paid plan, so send volume never changes the bill. Crossing a subscriber threshold moves the account to the next tier automatically. The free Newsletter plan runs to 10,000 subscribers, which is by far the most generous free tier in this set, and it is capped to one automation and one sequence.

The free plan changes how Kit reads in a price table. Up to 10,000 subscribers a publisher who only needs one automation and one sequence pays nothing, which no other vendor here comes close to matching. The paid plans are not cheap, and the gap between free and Creator is the whole pricing story.

What the table cannot show

  • Kit repriced in September 2025, roughly 35 percent up, and retired the old 15 dollar Creator entry tier. Anything quoting 15 dollars predates that change.
  • Kit's published tier stops are 1,000, 3,000, 5,000, 8,000, 10,000, 15,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000 subscribers. The 2,500 breakpoint here is billed at the 3,000 stop.
  • Trackers disagree most at 5,000 and 10,000 subscribers, with reported Creator prices between 99 and 139 dollars at 10,000. Those rows are marked as estimates.
  • Selling through Kit carries a transaction fee on every paid plan, including free, so the subscription price is not the full cost for anyone monetising.

Recorded Kit changes

  1. Kit repriced Creator and retired the 15 dollar entry tier

    Kit raised paid plan prices by roughly 35 percent and removed the old 15 dollar Creator tier. Creator now opens at 39 dollars a month and Creator Pro at 79, both at 1,000 subscribers. The free Newsletter plan stayed at 10,000 subscribers.

    Effect on a bill. Kit's floor for a paid plan went up by about 24 dollars a month. Any guide still quoting 15 dollars is describing pricing that no longer exists.
