Caveats
The free plan restricts you to a single automation and form and adds Kit branding, so serious senders quickly need the paid Creator plan, which scales in price with your subscriber count. Recent price hikes have made paid tiers noticeably more expensive than before.
Bottom line
Pick Kit if you're a creator or newsletter-focused founder who wants a big free tier and creator-first automation as you grow.
