Native Payments

Choose ConvertKit if

• Creators starting a list — the free plan runs to 10,000 subscribers, which is unusually generous
• Newsletter writers who want automation without an enterprise marketing suite
• Annual billing: Creator drops from $33/mo to $32.50 ($390/year)

Skip ConvertKit if

• You need automation and integrations on the free plan; the free tier is about sending, not sequences
• You are past 10,000 subscribers — that is where the free plan ends
• You want a cheap entry above free; the first paid tier is $33/month

Choose Kajabi if

• Education businesses already earning, where one platform replaces four subscriptions
• Creators who want courses, email, payments and a site without stitching tools together
• Trying it properly: a full month free

Skip Kajabi if

• You are starting out — Basic is $143/mo billed annually ($179 monthly), before you sell anything
• You use an outside payment provider: Kajabi adds 2% on Basic on top of card fees
• You have a wide catalogue: Basic caps at 5 products, 2,500 contacts and 2 admin users
