Which plan to pickBasic does the job for a solo marketer or founder who wants a serious swipe file. Step up to Workflow when you have a team or you want to track specific competitors and connect it to Claude. Agency only makes sense if you brief for many brands.Start on Free and stay there while you're only sending a newsletter. Move to Creator once you want a welcome sequence or automations, which is usually the moment a list starts making money. Prices rise with subscriber count, and Kit often runs first-year discounts on Pro.
