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. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion. 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. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
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.
