Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ConvertKit

  • The free Newsletter plan allows only one basic visual automation, so sequences beyond a single flow require paying
  • The free plan is a single user, and the Creator plan at $33 a month allows two
  • Subscriber signals, engagement analytics and paid recommendations are Pro only, at $66 a month
  • A/B testing is capped at 2 subject lines below Pro, which allows 5
  • Paid pricing is banded by subscriber count, so the published figures apply only at the smallest band

Razorpay

  • International card payments cost up to 3% per transaction versus 2% domestically, per razorpay.com/pricing (Aug 2026), and an 18% GST is added on top of the platform fee
  • Instant refunds cost between Rs. 7.99 and Rs. 14.99 per refund on top of the transaction fee, per Razorpay's own pricing page; standard refunds are free but instant ones are not
