The one client I have who uses Kit was having all kinds of issues with email deliverability. Keep in mind, this client has been using Kit since 2020 and has sent out 156 email broadcasts. The client only asked for my help with finding out what was going on in the last few weeks (April 2026). Her domain and email reputations were very good. Her SPF, DKIM and DMARC was set up properly. Since I did that back when I started working with her, I knew that wasn't the issue, but I double-checked those things again just to make sure I wasn't being negligent. Turns out the issue was that she did not have a sending domain set up and verified. I was floored. Since 2020, she'd been using a Gmail email address for sending out her email broadcasts, and then when Google and Yahoo! started enforcing their SPF/DKIM/DMARC rules and caused everyone else to follow suit that's when her deliverability and open rates tanked. I've been doing web work since 1999, and in every CRM and email marketing platform I ever used for my own purposes and/or setup up for clients I was immediately directed to set up a sending domain. That was the first thing that popped up, so it did not occur to me to first make sure my client had a valid sending domain set up. Again, keep in mind that my client has been working with Kit since 2020 and has sent out 156 email broadcasts. As soon as I took the five-to-seven minutes to set up the sending domain, everything was back up and running smoothly. In all my web work years, I have never used or had a client use Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo! or any other non-domain-specific email address on my/their CRM/email marketing platform(s). Kit is easy to use, especially for creators who want to send broadcasts, build simple automations, manage subscribers with tags and avoid the confusion of duplicate list-based systems. Its autoresponders, sequences, landing pages and forms are genuinely strong, especially for creators, coaches, course sellers, newsletter writers and digital product sellers who need a clean system without a steep learning curve. Kit makes it SO super simple to create email content and send out email broadcasts that there are hardly any customization options. That is both helpful and limiting. If your goal is to get a simple message out quickly, Kit makes that painless. If your goal is tighter control over branding, layout, CTA styling or direct HTML/CSS editing inside the email editor, Kit starts to feel restrictive very quickly. The lack of a quick WYSIWYG-to-code toggle is frustrating if you are comfortable writing HTML/CSS directly, and the limited CTA/form/email design flexibility makes Kit feel less ideal for brands that need tighter visual control. Kit is clean and simple, but simple is not always enough when you are trying to make email content feel fully branded. The pricing is another sticking point. Kit’s up to 10K email subscribers on the free tier is generous on its face, especially because it includes landing pages, forms, broadcasts and tagging. But if you allow yourself to accumulate 10,000 subscribers on the free tier, subscriber 10,001 is going to cost you, as of the time of this review, either $116/mo or $1,390/yr. That creates a real problem for bootstrapping solopreneurs. If you have invested many hours into learning all the INs and OUTs of Kit while building up to 10,001+ subscribers, you may feel held hostage once you surpass the 10K subscriber mark. At that point, switching platforms may feel disruptive, but staying may suddenly become expensive. Overall, I think Kit is very good at what it is clearly built to do: help creators grow and email an audience without getting buried in technical complexity. But it is not the best fit for every small business, and it is not the platform I would automatically recommend when customization, reply-routing flexibility, advanced reporting or budget-sensitive scaling are high priorities. **Pros:** I've only dealt with the free plan while working with one of my clients. Kit makes it super simple to create email content and send out email broadcasts. You also do not have to duplicate the same user across multiple lists. You can simply use tagging to have one subscriber on more than one list. Customer support is speedy and useful. **Cons:** On the free tier, customization options are limited. Also, the entry price to the first paid tier is much more than with other email marketing platforms. Going from $0 to (at the time of this review) $33/mo or $390/yr is not budget-friendly to bootstrapping solopreneurs, and I primarily work with bootstrapping solopreneurs. Also, you are not allowed to use one email for sending and another email as "reply-to" on ANY plan, free or paid. Faydra D. F.
