The verdict
Kit is a solid choice for creators who need automation, email sequences, and digital product sales. It's a full creator business platform. But if your primary need is sending newsletters, not building automated funnels, Kit is overkill and overpriced. CocoMail costs a fraction of Kit's price, gives you custom domain sending from day one, and keeps things simple. You'll miss automation features, but you'll gain simplicity and save money.
