AWeber vs Kit (formerly ConvertKit)
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
AWeber leans into an AI-builder suite while its feed fills with SEO how-tos
AWeber is an email-marketing platform building out an AI-driven creation suite. Recent product ships add automatic UTM tagging so email link clicks flow into Google Analytics without setup, AI image editing inside the AI Signup Form Builder, and visual inline-form placement on a live page. The changelog is roughly half genuine features and half evergreen marketing how-tos (landing-page types, color psychology).
The direction is an AI builder stack spanning signup forms, landing pages, and email, with AI image editing landing first in the form builder and slated for the others. Automatic UTM attribution closes a small-business 'create and measure' loop. Rollout is incremental and feature-by-feature.
AI image editing likely reaches the AI Landing Page and Email builders next, extending the same capability across the suite, alongside more attribution and measurement touches.
Kit pushes past email tooling toward audience intelligence and AI-tool access.
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is layering two new capabilities on top of its email and automation core: subscriber intelligence and AI-tool integration. Alongside those, it shipped a navigation redesign, a rebuilt landing page editor, and a rename of Creator profile to Newsletter site. The base product keeps getting incremental search and editor polish while the headline bets are data and AI.
The direction is from send-and-automate toward understand-your-audience and operate-Kit-from-anywhere. Subscriber Signals adds an audience data layer that competes with standalone enrichment tools, while the Kit MCP exposes the platform to external AI assistants. Together they reposition Kit as creator infrastructure rather than just an email sender.
Expect Subscriber Signals to move from early access toward general availability and the MCP to graduate from beta with broader write actions across lists, sequences, and broadcasts.
