| Which plan to pick | Basic 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. | Make a few videos on Free to see if the style suits your brand. Starter removes the watermark and is enough for a small store. Check the price at checkout, because Pippit charges different amounts in different countries. |
