Over 600,000+ creators use Kit to serve 587M+ subscribers and generate $42 for every $1 spent.

You build automated email sequences using Kit's drag-and-drop Visual Automation Builder — welcome series, product launches, nurture campaigns that run 24/7. Tag subscribers by interest and behavior, then send targeted emails to exactly the right people. Sell digital products, build landing pages, and grow through Kit's Creator Network where creators cross-promote each other's newsletters.
