Comparison
Wellput vs the Kit Sponsor Network
The Kit Sponsor Network, part of the platform formerly called ConvertKit, connects brands with creators who publish on Kit, matching sponsorships into their newsletters and taking a share of each deal. Wellput places newsletter sponsorships across publishers on any platform, priced on a dynamic CPC. The main differences are reach, the audiences you get, and the pricing model.
How the Kit Sponsor Network works
The Sponsor Network is native to Kit and open to creators who host their newsletter there, typically those with at least 10,000 subscribers who publish weekly or more. Kit sources brands, matches them to newsletters by niche and engagement, and manages the logistics of each deal, from negotiation to payment, taking a share of roughly 20 percent. The creator approves each brand, Kit tracks clicks with bot filtering, and because it is built into Kit there is no separate tool to run. The audiences skew toward creators and solopreneurs, and the network is limited to newsletters that publish on Kit.
How Wellput is different
Two things anchor the difference. First, Wellput is not tied to one platform or a subscriber threshold. It places across newsletters regardless of the tool they send with, so your reach is not confined to Kit's hosted creators. Second, the audiences are broader. Kit skews to creators and solopreneurs, while Wellput tests across premium and niche newsletters spanning verticals. On pricing, Kit brokers flat sponsorships and takes a percentage, while Wellput runs on dynamic CPC, so you pay for clicks and the rate follows results. Kit manages the deal logistics, but that is not the same as optimizing the campaign: like most, it reads performance from data that accumulates, whereas Wellput instruments landing-page funnel events to start optimizing sooner, and runs Flight and Recurring to test and scale.

| Best for | Reaching Kit creators, or Kit creators monetizing | Brands who want a cross-platform program priced on results |
