Frequently asked questions
Is Kit really free up to 10,000 subscribers?
Yes, with two limits: Kit branding in your emails and no visual automations or sequences. If newsletters are all you need, it’s a great choice. If you want an automatic welcome email or abandoned-cart flow, you need Creator at $39 a month with 1,000 subscribers, while Spedito includes them at €5.
Does Spedito have a free plan?
Yes, up to 500 contacts and 3,000 emails a month, with every feature including automations. It’s smaller than Kit’s, but nothing is held back.
Can I import my contacts from Kit?
Yes. Export your list from Kit as CSV or Excel and drop it into Spedito: columns are recognised automatically, duplicates are merged and people who had unsubscribed never get emails. A list of a few thousand contacts takes a few minutes.
Where is my data stored with Spedito?
In the European Union. For every contact Spedito keeps where they came from and when they gave consent, and every email has an unsubscribe link in the reader’s language. The data processing agreement (DPA) applies to every customer.
