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.

Your next newsletter doesn't need a campaign.
