No escort-specific ban — but "non-educational or non-artistic" adult content is restricted.
Prohibited Content — Inappropriate use
Adult content that is non-educational or non-artistic in nature.
Kit restricts adult content but carves out exceptions for "educational or artistic" purposes. Professional escort marketing that isn't sexually explicit likely falls outside this restriction — but the line is subjective.
Prohibited Content — Introduction
We reserve the right to close an account at any time, including but not limited to inappropriate use.
Kit retains broad discretion to close accounts. Even if your content technically fits the "artistic" exception, they can still terminate at will.
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) markets itself as the email platform for creators, and its content policy is actually more permissive than most competitors. It only bans "adult content that is non-educational or non-artistic in nature" — it does NOT name escort services, sex work, or even "sexually suggestive" content. A professional escort newsletter with tasteful branding and no explicit imagery could arguably fall under the artistic/educational exception. That said, Kit retains the right to close any account at its discretion, and as a US company, enforcement could be unpredictable if someone reports your account. The risk is lower than Mailchimp (which names escorts explicitly), but higher than self-hosted solutions where you control the rules. If you use Kit, keep your content professional and non-explicit, and always maintain a backup of your subscriber list.
