Flodesk 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
Flodesksite ↗pricing ↗
An email tool whose selling point is design: template-led newsletters for creators and small brands who care what the email looks like in the inbox. Paid plans start at $25/mo (Lite); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $54/mo (Everything). We read the same $25/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. Its published prices moved on 2026-08-29 — the change log holds the rows. Flodesk retired the flat unlimited price for new members on 2 December 2025, by its own FAQ. Anyone who chose it for that reason is now shopping again.
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 $33/mo (Creator); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $66/mo (Pro). We read the same $33/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.

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.
