Clued vs ConvertKit (Now Kit)
In this article
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is one of the most popular email platforms for creators. Writers, coaches, and solopreneurs use it to grow audiences with newsletters and automations.
But here’s the truth: Kit is built for creators, not sellers.
If you’re an indie seller, you don’t just need to write newsletters. You need to drop goods, own your buyers, and actually make sales. That’s where Clued comes in.
Clued doesn’t replace Kit. It complements it.
- AI-powered Scenes that make your goods scroll-stopping instantly.
- Subscribers + messaging built in — every drop grows your audience.
- Your shop + checkout — payments, shipping, and order tracking included.
- Mobile-first + social-native — built for sellers who sell where culture happens.
👉 Kit builds audiences. Clued turns them into buyers.
Kit (ConvertKit): What it does well
- Newsletters + automations → Great for sending broadcasts.
- Direct subscriber ownership → Exportable lists you control.

But: Kit isn’t built for shops, drops, or physical goods. Sellers still need extra tools.
