What it does

Sample subheading — replace

Beehiiv is a platform for writing and sending an email newsletter, then turning that newsletter into a business — handling sending infrastructure, a hosted website, and subscriber management in one place. What separates it from a plain email tool is the built-in growth layer. A recommendation network swaps subscribers between related newsletters, referral programs reward readers for sharing, and creators can run ads or paid subscriptions directly through the platform. The free tier covers real list-building (up to 2,500 subscribers) but strips out the money-making features, making it a solid way to test whether an audience will grow before paying anything.

Who this helps

Sample subheading — replace

A creator or brand starting a newsletter from scratch who wants growth tools included rather than bolted on.

A marketer testing newsletter-as-lead-magnet before committing budget to a paid platform.

A publisher who wants to monetize a list directly through ads or paid subscriptions.

A team that wants referral-driven growth and analytics without managing separate plug-ins.

Free tier

Sample subheading — replace

The Launch plan is free for up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends. Monetization features including ads and paid subscriptions are locked until a paid tier, which jumps to roughly $89+/month after the free cap.
