About beehiiv
beehiiv was built by the team behind Morning Brew, and it shows: everything is designed around growing a newsletter into a business. You start free up to 2,500 subscribers, and once your list outgrows that the Scale plan unlocks the referral program, boosts, and ad network that can actually pay your bills. Unlike Substack, beehiiv takes no cut of your paid subscriptions on paid plans. Because the whole point is compounding growth, creators tend to settle in and build on beehiiv for years rather than switching tools every season, which is what makes it the platform to commit to rather than just try. The trade-off: it is newsletter-first, so if you need heavy e-commerce automation, look elsewhere.
“The platform that treats your newsletter as a business from day one. Free up to 2,500 subscribers, a referral program and ad network built in, and no cut taken from paid subscriptions. The strongest growth story in this lineup.”Editorial team, via MailShortlist
