Drip vs Kit
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Dripsite ↗pricing ↗
An e-commerce marketing automation tool aimed at shops that want behavioural email without a full enterprise suite. Paid plans start at $39/mo (Drip); no free plan is published.
Kitsite ↗pricing ↗
An email platform built for creators — writers, course sellers, podcasters — organised around subscriber tagging and selling rather than around campaigns. Paid plans start at $39/mo (Creator); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $79/mo (Pro). We read the same $39/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. Kit gives away up to 10,000 subscribers, so people looking past it are almost always after a feature rather than a price.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: both start at $39/mo in this market.
- Free plans: only Kit publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: Drip tops out at $39/mo, Kit at $79/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Kit: We read the same $39/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
How to choose in this category
- Most tools price by list size — a quoted price is only true at a stated subscriber count, so re-check the ladder at yours.
- Free tiers differ in what they cap: subscribers, sends or features. Two ‘free plans’ are rarely the same thing.
- Headline prices are often the annual-billing rate; the pay-monthly figure sits higher.
