What you give up either way
- Deliverability infrastructure and reputation management (industry 99.8% claim)
- Creator Recommendations network (cross-promotion between creators)
- Subscriber Signals (Kit-verified audience data / search by industry/location/social reach)
- Newsletter sponsorships matching and marketplace
- Kit App Store catalogue and built-in integrations/managed migrations and support
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Kit, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
