Best Kit.co Alternatives
Kit.co was a creator platform for publishing gear and product lists with affiliate links. It closed on 11 May 2026 — this page is about where to go next.
It closed on 11 May 2026, taking creator storefronts with it.
Creators lost a publishing surface, not just a bookmarking tool: kits were shopfronts with affiliate links attached.
The replacement question is different — it is about publishing a guide, not about a birthday list.
What each replacement is good for
| If you need | Try | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Publish a gear guide with your own affiliate links | Things To Have | lists can be article-like buying guides, and the affiliate links belong to the creator rather than to a platform |
| Curated creator storefronts with platform commission | ShopMy | a full creator-commerce platform, with commission taken by the platform |
| Creator commerce at scale | LTK | 40M+ users and 8,000 brands, but the economy belongs to LTK |
| Weight-based gear and packing lists | LighterPack | free and open, but narrow: packing lists for hikes |
Things To Have vs the rest of the list

“—” means we could not confirm it from the app’s own documentation.
Moving on without losing your lists
The lesson from Kit.co is not that the replacement must have every feature the old app had — it is that the list has to outlive the app.
- Export what you can from the old service while anything is still reachable.
- Bring it into Things To Have via Settings → Data → Import data: paste a list of links, or drop in a
.txt,.mdor JSON file. You see a preview of every item before anything is written, and skipped rows are listed so you can fix them. - Send the link to the people who need it. Nobody needs an account or an app to open it, which is what keeps the list useful when the next app closes.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Kit.co replacement?
Yes. Things To Have is free with no paywall, and several apps in the table above are free too. If price tracking was what you used Kit.co for, Moonsift and Wisher are the closest matches — neither is a full replacement, so expect a narrower tool.
Will my data survive if the next app closes?
Only if it can be exported. That is why the last column of the comparison table matters more than it looks: an app without an export is a rental.
