Kit (formerly ConvertKit) vs beehiiv

Kit pioneered creator-first email but fumbled with a 50% price hike. beehiiv is the fast-growing alternative with better growth tools and monetization. The creator migration from Kit to beehiiv is real.

Verdict

beehiiv is where the momentum is — better growth tools, better monetization, better AI features. Kit still has the superior visual automation builder, but the price hike alienated its core audience. New creators should start with beehiiv; Kit loyalists should evaluate whether the automation builder alone justifies staying.
