What do you dislike about Kit?
After working with CK for a few weeks, I began to notice bugs and missing features I decided in the end I just couldn't live without, so now I've *re-migrated* back to my old platform (MailerLite, if you're curious... LOVE THEM)
Here's why I left Convertkit:
1. **there's no way to organize uploaded images:** this wasn't a noticeable problem in the beginning, but the emails I sent and the more images I uploaded, it began to take longer and longer to find what I needed
2. **there's no way to embed audio:** as a podcaster, this was vital
3. **the whole automation vs. email sequence thing** was cumbersome to work with
But here was the NUMBER ONE THING, the deal-breaker:
1. **there's no way to see metrics for groups or segments of subscribers:** Many of us use Facebook ads or Google ads (or just have various streams of how people find us) and it's essential that we be able to track their engagement data. I was paying $$$ GOOD MONEY $$$ to get leads on Facebook and with ConvertKit I suddenly had *NO IDEA* how this segment of subscribers was performing. I couldn't tell if they were opening my emails, let alone clicking.
So I decided to change platforms for the second time in two months. It was a hell of a lot of work. I reached out to CK with my concerns and they stood really strong on their strict "30 days only" refund policy. It didn't matter that I was just 15 days past that, it didn't matter that we'd just had two major national holidays (Christmas and Thanksgiving) during that time, none of it mattered, so I had to eat the hundreds of dollars I'd spent on the annual plan.
But for me and my business, I need an email platform that is easy to keep organized and give me metrics that tell me is my ads are working.
