Kit as a Loops alternative

Kit may be a better fit when the current platform makes your priority—such as sequence clarity, event data, creator workflows, or sales coordination—hard to operate. Start by documenting the existing journey, including entry rules, exclusions, delays, links, and the action that ends the sequence.

The practical risk is migration drift: contacts, consent history, custom fields, templates, and reporting definitions can be lost or changed. Test a small segment, preserve the original export, verify suppression behavior, and compare one complete journey before moving the whole audience. Check the official Loops site and the official Kit site for current plan details.
