— Kit creator welcome workflow guide

  • Expanded the Kit free-plan guide with a practical four-touchpoint welcome-content map for creators.
  • Clarified the difference between broadcast-first publishing and subscriber-specific automated sequences; the outline is editorial guidance, not a hands-on product claim.

  • Made the dedicated contact-count pricing guide the direct price reference from the GetResponse platform overview.
  • Corrected a comparison-page link that labeled the platform overview as the price guide.

— Calculator video walkthrough

  • Added an English narrated walkthrough for 6,000 subscribers near the calculator.
  • The YouTube player loads only on request, with a direct viewing link and updated privacy disclosure.
  • Video prices are a September 2026 snapshot, not a new pricing verification.

  • Clarified the homepage title and introduction around newsletter cost calculations.
  • Refocused the GetResponse platform overview on plan features and fit, and added a direct 5,000-contact cost answer to its pricing guide.

  • Added Yong as the public editor and a domain contact email.
