Monthly billing first. The annual column is the per month cost of paying for a year up front. Creator annual is published directly at 390 dollars a year. Creator Pro annual is published at 790.

Prices are compiled from public vendor pages and can lag behind a change. Cells marked Der are calculated from published rules and cells marked Est are rough figures. Neither is an invoice or a quote, so confirm with the vendor before you spend.

ConvertKit rename and the free ceiling

ConvertKit rebranded to Kit. SideBySend records one Kit dataset. The ConvertKit URL stays as an alias so the old name still lands on the same numbers rather than a second invented ladder. ConvertKit pricing and Kit pricing both point at that dataset.

Newsletter still covers this list size for free. The free ceiling sits at 10,000 subscribers (free there). Paid Creator and Creator Pro include unlimited sends, so send volume never moves the bill once you leave free.

What the subscriber count includes

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. Cold subscribers who still hold a confirmed status keep counting until they are removed by hand. What each tracked vendor counts is recorded here.

Where this stop sits on the ladder

The same prices cover a 500 subscriber list, because Kit's published Creator and Creator Pro band runs up to 1,000 subscribers.

Creator sits at $39 at 500 subscribers (derived: billed at this same 1,000 subscriber stop), $39 here (verified), then $59 at 2,500 (derived, billed at the 3,000 stop). Creator Pro sits at $79, then $79, then $99. The 1,000 paid stop is the lowest the Kit slider prints, so it is the firmest entry read on the Kit ladder.

The full Newsletter, Creator and Creator Pro ladder lives on the parent page. Kit pricing by subscribers.
