Up to 20,000 subscribers there are nine ranges. MailerLite Comfort is lower on monthly billing in all nine.

  • The smallest gap is from 2,501 to 3,000 subscribers: $59 against $49, which is $120 a year. MailerLite has no tier between 2,500 and 5,000, so a list in this range pays its 5,000 price.
  • The largest gap is from 5,001 to 10,000 subscribers: $50 a month, which is $600 a year.
  • Sending is not the same. Kit Creator is listed with unlimited email broadcasts. MailerLite Comfort allows ten times the tier size in emails per month.

On yearly billing

1,000$390$205.20$184.80

10,000$1,390$961.20$428.80
20,000$1,890$1,717.20$172.80

Kit's yearly price equals ten monthly payments. MailerLite takes 10% off for yearly billing. Of these four sizes, the gap is narrowest at 20,000 subscribers.

Unlimited sending on both

MailerLite's Power plan is the one listed with unlimited sending, under a fair use policy. It is the closer match to Kit Creator on that point.
