Kit vs Mailjet
Both stand on email marketing tools. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Pick Kit if you want newsletter publishing with paid subscriptions, sponsor marketplace access, or API access. The free plan provides up to 10,000 subscribers, while Creator and Pro are listed for 1,000 subscribers at their stated monthly prices. Consider another option if the free plan’s single basic Visual Automation or the paid plans’ listed subscriber basis does not suit your needs.
