Email marketing built around automation
Kit is the one to pick when the sequences matter more than the newsletter. Visual automations, tagging and conditional content are genuinely good, and the creator network sends real signups. The editor is plainer than its competitors.
Our note
Kit against beehiiv is the real decision here, and it turns on which half of the job matters more. Kit is better at what happens after somebody subscribes, beehiiv at getting them to subscribe at all.
Only on this side
Run your own affiliate program
Post Affiliate Pro is the software behind an affiliate program you run yourself, tracking clicks and sales back to the partner who sent them and paying out on your terms. Plans are sized by tracking requests a month rather than by how many affiliates you sign, so recruiting is never the thing that raises the bill. It has been around long enough that most shopping carts already have an integration for it.
Our note
Count your monthly clicks before choosing, because tracking requests are the only thing separating an $89 plan from a $649 one. If a promotion is still running when you sign up, the first year is materially cheaper than the list price suggests.
