Is SendKernel a Kit replacement?

Only if you mainly use Kit to send broadcasts. If visual automations, landing pages, recommendations, or digital-product sales are central to your business, Kit remains the better fit.

Can SendKernel send product email too?

Yes. Transactional sending is a separate product, so receipts and account notifications do not consume your marketing contact allowance.

Can I migrate a Kit list?

Yes. Export active subscribers and suppression data, import only people with a valid consent record, and verify your domain before testing a small segment.

SendKernel vs Kit

Kit is built for creators selling newsletters, courses, and digital products. SendKernel is narrower: transactional email and consent-first broadcasts in one operational workspace. Pick Kit for creator commerce and mature automations; pick SendKernel when sending infrastructure and enforced deliverability controls are the job.
