ConvertKit is an awesome option for building an email list and creating emails based on behavior using automation. I have used it to grow my list. The business problems it addresses is to create a landing page to capture emails to build lists and create different lists using automation. You can also build a website with it, but I only used it to house my potential leads.
  • CRM for your potential leads.
  • Offers automation to save entrepreneurs time and money.
  • Pricing is affordable and offers free trial.
Cons
  • When I first started using ConvertKit, I found it hard to create a landing page. I am pretty technical but when I had to customize my page using HTML, I got lost. I thought I could get up and running within an hour (build the page, create the list, and set up automation), but I soon realized I had to upgrade to use automation and setting up took me more than 3 hours. The learning curve had me stuck. I got frustrated and reached out to support.
  • ConvertKit is not for a non-tech person. There are not enough templates to get up and running within an hour.
  • ConvertKit is simply email marketing and landing pages for list building. It could offer a little more.
  • The analytics can be a bit more in depth.
It is perfect for artists and content creators. It is perfect for service based providers who want to house their potential leads. Entry level entrepreneurs can also benefit. It is not an all in one type of platform, but it is useful for list building and setting up automation. If you have less than 1K subscribers, this is the route to go until you need to use automation. Then, just feel free to upgrade.
  • The template landing pages did convert well.
  • Once I got passed the learning curve I was able to increase efficiency.
  • I do recommend using as a first start to lead generation.

Premium Email Service Provider

.
  • Emails landing in subscribers inbox.
  • Free mailing address that customers can use.
  • Robust tagging system for managing funnels and targeting users with optimized emails.
  • Broad integrations available for other platforms and optin form plugins.
Cons
  • Pricing.
  • Google Analytics integration.
  • Email templates and a modern interface for composing emails.
ConvertKit would be well-suited to an established business/blog that has a steady revenue stream to afford the investment/cost of this premium email service provider. It is especially useful if the needs of the organization include needing to setup many advanced funnels/automations or other drip-content style email chains. A small business or new blog that is not monetizing its online presence should consider more affordable/free options.
  • Incremental traffic generation from a reliable source.
  • High-converting leads from sales funnels.

Used to capture Email subscribers for our newsletter on blog and also integrate with eCommerce site where it captures details about customer purchase including personal details. We needed a reliable email sending solution with high deliverability crafted for solo and small business. ConvertKit suffices the requirement offering sophisticated and easy solution without complicating the setup.
  • Email Deliverability
  • Custom Domain Setup
  • Reliability
  • Email List Management
Cons
  • Automation
  • Segmentation
  • Google Analytics Integration
  • Pricing
It is best for simple scenarios where user journey is not much complicated and do not need segmentation at micro level. ConvertKit was started with creators and individuals in mind and that is somewhat restricting it from going big. I can say that because their pricing is competitive and at par with what other services with multiple pipelines feature. So, they must re-consider pricing for individual/solo businesses.

  • Lifetime Customer Value Increased
  • Better Email Deliverability
Can be summed up in three words that 'It just Works'. Crafted for creators and artists in mind, it offers all they need for start building up list. Free tier is really a good move to test out stuff. I am staying with them considering their good email delivery and simple interface and easy integration with our website software. WYSIYG Editor, Standard reporting but not deep level analytics gives all the basic tools needed to support the business.
MailChimp had too many delivery related problems (this is few years ago). This problems include but not limited to bounce, mails landing in spam and more. MailerLite was advertised as alternative for chimp but they were starting up and I took only because they charged for delivery of emails not number subscribers but that's not a case anymore.
