A modern newsletter platform designed for creators and media operators. Beehiiv offers built-in monetization, referral programs, and growth tools that go beyond traditional email marketing.
Our take
beehiiv has quickly become the go-to platform for newsletter creators who want to build a media business. The growth tools — referral programs, recommendations network, and boost monetisation — are features you won't find in traditional email platforms. The free tier is generous and the paid tiers are reasonably priced. Where beehiiv falls short is in traditional email marketing features — it's designed for newsletters, not transactional emails or complex automation sequences. If you're building a newsletter-first business, beehiiv is the best choice. For general email marketing, look elsewhere.
