The short verdict
Kit is an email marketing platform for creators: landing pages, forms, automations and a free plan up to 10,000 subscribers. It runs paid newsletters with a 3.5% + 30¢ transaction fee.
Blogaly is a publication first: a full website with posts, pages and themes, plus newsletters and paid tiers with a 0% platform fee (Stripe’s standard processing fees still apply). If automations and selling products drive your business, Kit is the stronger tool.
