FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Kit's free tier really 10,000 subscribers?
Yes — Kit's free tier includes 10,000 subscribers, unlimited landing pages, unlimited forms, and unlimited broadcasts. Limitations: no automations on free (you can only send manual broadcasts), no sequences, no integrations. Paid plans start at $25/mo for these features.
Kit vs Beehiiv for newsletter writers?
Kit: better for course creators + creators who also sell paid products. Beehiiv: better for pure-newsletter writers who want growth features (referrals, recommendations, ad network). Both have similar pricing and integration ease.
Can I migrate my Mailchimp subscribers to Kit?
Yes — Kit has a free migration service. Export your Mailchimp audience as CSV, import to Kit, and Kit's team will set up your tags / sequences to match your Mailchimp segmentation.
Does Kit work for B2B SaaS marketing emails?
It can, but most B2B SaaS uses ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or HubSpot. Kit's creator-focused features (paid newsletters, content gating) are less useful for B2B than for indie creators. For B2B, default to Mailchimp or HubSpot unless you have a specific creator-economy fit.
