Migrate your Convertkit data
Creator-focused email marketing platform (formerly ConvertKit) built for newsletter authors, bloggers, and digital product sellers. Unlimited email sends across all tiers, subscriber-based pricing that scales with list size.
In its favor
Why people choose Convertkit
The signal that keeps Convertkit on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Generous free tier with up to 10,000 subscribers and unlimited emails gives new creators a low-risk starting point to validate their newsletter before committing to a paid plan.
Free migration service on Creator and Creator Pro plans is a stated differentiator, with Kit's own team offering to move forms, sequences, products, and subscriber lists from competitor platforms.
Tag-based segmentation lets creators organize subscribers by entry point, interest, and action without the complexity of list-based email marketing.
Unlimited email sends across all paid tiers means creators never face per-email quotas regardless of how frequently they broadcast.
Subscriber-based pricing with clear tier increments makes cost predictable as the audience grows, without surprise overage charges.
September 2025 price increases raised Creator plan costs significantly, with some creators reporting bills tripled at the same subscriber count.
Kit's branding on landing pages, emails, and product pages remains until manually toggled off on paid tiers, which creators find unprofessional for paid product sales.
Free tier allows no A/B testing and restricts users to one account and basic templates, pushing creators toward upgrades for features that competitors include on lower plans.
Export functionality on lower tiers is limited, with some creators reporting difficulty accessing their data when evaluating departures.
Sequences and automations cannot be exported in a machine-readable format, requiring complete manual rebuild on the destination platform.

Pricing tiers
Convertkit pricing overview
Kit prices by total subscriber count, not by emails sent or users added (except Creator Pro). All paid tiers include unlimited email sends. Prices increased significantly in September 2025, with Creator plans starting roughly 3× higher than prior rates at equivalent subscriber counts. Free migration from competitor platforms is included on Creator and Creator Pro plans but not on the free Newsletter tier.

What gets migrated
Convertkit object support
Object-by-object support for Convertkit migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Subscribers
Fully supportedThe core contact object in Kit. Standard fields include email, first name, creation date, and state (active/unsubscribed/cancelled). We migrate subscribers 1:1 with their current state preserved. Tag assignments and custom field values are migrated as separate linked records.
Tags
Fully supportedKit uses Tags as the primary segmentation mechanism. Tags can be applied manually or automatically based on form submissions, purchases, or automation triggers. We map Tag names and their subscriber associations to the destination platform's equivalent segmentation system.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredKit allows up to 140 custom fields per account. Each field has a key, label, and name used in personalization tags. We preserve custom field definitions and values but note that the destination platform may require custom fields to be recreated before subscriber data can populate them.
Forms
Mapping requiredForms are Kit's lead capture tool with multiple embed types (inline, modal, slide-in). Form structure and styling do not export; we migrate form configuration as structured data for manual recreation on the destination platform.
Landing Pages
Mapping requiredKit provides 30+ premium landing page templates. Landing page content and structure export as raw data but the visual builder state does not transfer, requiring rebuilding on the destination platform.
Sequences
Mapping requiredSequences are automated email series with timing, conditions, and branching logic. Kit does not export sequence automation logic in a portable format. We export email body content, subject lines, and timing rules as data for manual sequence construction on the destination platform.
Broadcasts
Mapping requiredBroadcasts are one-time email campaigns sent to selected segments. We migrate broadcast history including subject lines, send dates, and recipient counts as reporting data. The email content itself can be exported for manual resend on the destination platform.
Creator Profile
Mapping requiredThe Creator Profile serves as a public landing page, newsletter archive, and product sales base. We preserve profile URL structure and content mapping but the profile builder state requires manual reconstruction on the destination platform.
Products
Fully supportedKit supports digital products and paid newsletter subscriptions. We migrate product names, prices, descriptions, and subscription tiers. Integration settings for payment providers must be reconfigured on the destination platform.
Integrations
Not in this platformKit integrates with Shopify, Zapier, Ghost, and other platforms via OAuth connections or API keys. Integration configurations including webhooks, API credentials, and trigger settings do not export. These must be re-established manually on the destination platform.
Media Library
Mapping requiredKit provides an image library with user uploads, Unsplash access, and Instagram photo imports. We export media references and URLs where accessible. Images stored in Kit's hosted library may require re-upload to the destination platform's media library.
