Why Is My Kit (ConvertKit) Bill So High

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Prune the list

   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Go annual

4. 4. Compare alternatives

Symptoms

Your monthly Kit bill jumped even though your plan didn't change.

Why it happens

• Subscriber count crossed a tier and Kit upgraded you automatically
• Sept 2025 price increase applied to existing customers after Oct 15, 2025
• Cold or inactive subscribers still counted
• Monthly rather than annual billing (annual is 12 months for 10)
