How to Negotiate Kit (formerly ConvertKit) Pricing

Kit (formerly ConvertKit) contracts are negotiable. These 4 tactics are sourced from real buyer experiences and procurement specialists.

Negotiation Playbook 4 tactics
Monitor Subscriber Count Closely high success

Those require the Creator plan ($39/month, or $33/month billed yearly) or Pro.

Its pricing page quotes prices for 1,000 subscribers: Creator is $39/month (or $33/month billed yearly) and Pro is $79/month (or $66/month billed yearly). Both rise as your list grows, so check Kit's pricing page for your exact list size. The Free plan stays free up to 10,000 subscribers.

The Creator plan entry price increased from $33/month to $39/month, and Pro increased from $66/month to $79/month. Existing subscribers on legacy plans may have been grandfathered, but new sign-ups pay the higher rates.

05 What is the difference between Kit Creator and Pro plans?

Creator ($39/month, or $33/month billed yearly, for 1,000 subscribers) includes unlimited Visual Automations and email sequences, app integrations, RSS campaigns, SMS marketing, Kit MCP, removal of Kit branding, and 2 users.

06 Does Kit automatically downgrade my plan if I reduce my subscriber count?

07 What is Kit's refund policy?

Kit does not offer refunds as a standard policy. Users have reported being denied refunds even when requesting a downgrade within 24 hours of a billing charge. A 30-day refund window was referenced in one account but appears to be applied inconsistently.

08 Can I use automation on the free plan?

Yes, according to multiple user reports. Users have cited a platform-wide 50% price increase and individual cases of prices tripling mid-contract. Users locked into annual plans at the time of increases reported having no recourse.
