ClickFunnels vs Kit (formerly ConvertKit)
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
ClickFunnels doubles down on AI — generative funnel building plus new controls over how AI crawlers use your pages.
ClickFunnels ships a steady weekly changelog of platform improvements, UX polish, and automation tooling. The recent arc is defined by two AI moves: ClickFunnels AI (open beta) that generates a funnel from a text description, and new page-level controls governing how AI crawlers train on, cite, and access funnel content.
The product is moving on both sides of the AI shift at once — using generative AI to lower the build-a-funnel barrier, and giving marketers governance over their pages as AI crawlers proliferate. Around that, the cadence is classic SaaS maintenance: cart and coupon correctness, workflow-builder speedups, reusable workspace attributes, and navigation cleanups.
Expect ClickFunnels AI to expand from funnel generation toward in-editor editing and copy assistance, and the AI-visibility controls to grow into a broader content-governance surface — both grounded in the two AI features shipped this window.
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.
