Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Subscriber-based pricing scales rapidly: 1,000 subscribers costs $25/month (Creator) or $50/month (Creator Pro); 10,000 subscribers costs $100/month (Creator) or $140/month (Creator Pro); 55,000 subscribers costs $379/month (Creator) or $519/month (Creator Pro)

2

The free Newsletter plan has NO automation - you cannot create email sequences, funnels, or automated workflows without upgrading to Creator ($25+/month)

3

ConvertKit Commerce takes a transaction fee of 3.5% + $0.30 per transaction on all digital product and subscription sales - this is on top of Stripe's fees

4

Annual billing saves ~30% but requires upfront payment for the full year - Creator at 10K subscribers is $1,188/year annual vs $1,428/year monthly

5

Migrating from other platforms may require ConvertKit's paid migration service ($300-$1,500+) for large lists with complex automations

6

Email deliverability issues may require upgrading to Creator Pro for advanced reporting to diagnose problems

7

Third-party integrations beyond basic ones (Zapier, Teachable, etc.) may require additional subscription costs for those services
