One side is free to 10,000 subscribers

Kit Newsletter covers the first five breakpoints for nothing. Flodesk free covers forms and landing pages and does not send email, so the same five rows are paid on its side.

Sends and what each one counts

Paid Flodesk Lite, Pro and Everything include unlimited email sends. Kit includes unlimited sends on every plan, including free Newsletter. Send volume never moves either bill once you are on a paid plan.

Kit. Kit bills confirmed subscribers only, and its help pages list every other status as outside the billing total: unsubscribed, complained, bounced, blocked and unconfirmed. Hard bounces are unsubscribed automatically. Selling through Kit still carries a transaction fee on every plan, including free.

Flodesk. Soft bounced contacts still count toward the tier. Unsubscribed, hard bounced, cleaned, archived and deleted contacts stay off it. The free plan covers forms and landing pages and does not send email. Lite stops at 25,000 active subscribers, then auto-moves to Pro.
