Overview
Mailmodo and ConvertKit (now called Kit) serve entirely different audiences. Mailmodo focuses on AMP technology for interactive email marketing. ConvertKit is built specifically for creators - bloggers, podcasters, and course sellers. See our ConvertKit comparison for more context.
Comparing them is comparing innovation to specialization.
AMP Email Technology
Mailmodo's core feature is AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) for email. Subscribers can fill forms, take quizzes, and submit surveys without leaving their inbox. For Gmail and Yahoo Mail users, this reduces friction and can improve conversions.
ConvertKit uses simple, plain-text style emails. No AMP, no fancy interactivity. But this approach has excellent deliverability and readers often prefer the personal, letter-like format.
Creator Tools
ConvertKit is purpose-built for creators. Paid newsletters let subscribers pay for premium content. Built-in commerce handles digital product sales. Tip jars accept one-time support. The Creator Network connects newsletter writers with sponsors.
Mailmodo has none of these creator-specific features. Its AMP technology could enhance feedback collection, but doesn't address how creators build businesses.
Free Plan Comparison
ConvertKit's free plan is exceptionally generous - up to 10,000 subscribers with basic features and limited automation. Many creators can use it indefinitely.
Mailmodo only offers a 21-day trial. No ongoing free tier. For creators starting out, ConvertKit's free plan provides real value.
Email Client Support
ConvertKit emails work in every email client with consistent experience. The plain-text style actually improves deliverability.
Mailmodo's AMP features only work in Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Other clients receive HTML fallback. For creators with diverse audiences, ConvertKit provides reliability.
When Each Platform Shines
Choose Mailmodo when: Your audience is Gmail-heavy. In-email forms or surveys are central to your strategy. You're a business, not a creator.
Choose ConvertKit when: You're a creator - blogger, podcaster, course seller. You want to monetize your newsletter. Simple, deliverable emails matter more than interactive features.
For SaaS Companies
Neither platform is built for SaaS. Mailmodo's AMP features don't address subscription management. ConvertKit is creator-focused, not software-focused.
For Stripe integration and subscription-aware automation, consider Sequenzy. It costs less than both ($49 vs $78-139) while focusing on what SaaS companies actually need.
