Take on ConvertKit
Kit's strength is the creator workflow: tags-as-segments, visual automations, simple commerce. The weakness is growth — Beehiiv's recommendation network and boost ecosystem are doing what Kit hasn't matched. If you're growing, Beehiiv. If you're monetizing an established list, Kit.
