Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Suplex and ConvertKit?
They solve completely different problems. Suplex is a B2B outreach autopilot — it finds prospects who've never heard of you and reaches out on your behalf. ConvertKit (now Kit) is a newsletter and creator platform for managing and marketing to people who have already opted in. If you have no existing audience, you need Suplex first.
Can I use ConvertKit for cold email?
No. ConvertKit's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit cold email to non-subscribers. Using it for cold outreach risks account suspension. Suplex is designed specifically for cold outreach and handles all compliance considerations.
Can I use Suplex instead of ConvertKit?
Only if your goal is cold outreach, not newsletters. If you have a subscriber list you want to nurture and sell to, ConvertKit is the right tool. If you want to find and reach brand new prospects automatically, that's Suplex.
What should I use for cold outreach if I use ConvertKit for newsletters?
Use both. ConvertKit for your subscriber marketing. Suplex for finding and reaching new cold prospects. They complement each other — Suplex fills the top of your funnel, ConvertKit nurtures people who convert into subscribers.
