beehiiv

Overview

beehiiv is a unified platform for building, growing, and monetizing newsletters, podcasts, digital products, and communities. It combines a newsletter builder, a no-code website builder, an ad network, and audience growth tools into a single product.

The platform replaces the need for separate tools like Substack, Kit, Mailchimp, and WordPress. It serves individual creators, established publishers with over 75,000 subscribers, media companies, and marketing teams.

Key Benefits

• Built-in ad network connects content with global brands and handles sales on behalf of publishers
• Recommendation network and referral program help newsletters acquire subscribers organically
• No-code website builder produces a professional website in minutes with AI assistance
• 0% take rate on paid subscriptions for Scale and Max plan users
• Unlimited email sends and posts across all paid plans with no overage charges

How It Works

Users sign up and choose a subscriber count tier. They write newsletters using the custom builder or AI assistant, design a website with the no-code builder, and publish content. Audience growth happens through the built-in recommendation network, referral programs, and smart subscribe forms. Revenue comes from the ad network, paid subscriptions, digital products, and direct sponsorships — all managed inside a single dashboard.

Use Cases

• Independent newsletter creators — write, design, and monetize newsletters without managing multiple tools or hiring developers
• Established media publishers — replace a legacy ESP and consolidate newsletter, website, podcast, and ad revenue into one platform
• Marketing teams at companies — nurture an audience to drive pipeline and revenue while tracking performance with campaign analytics and A/B testing
• Podcasters — turn listeners into subscribers and repurpose audio content alongside written newsletters and digital products
• Digital product sellers — offer guides, courses, and one-on-one appointments directly through the platform without third-party storefronts

Why Choose This Product

beehiiv is best suited for newsletter-first creators and publishers who want an all-in-one platform rather than stitching together separate tools. The free Launch tier supports up to 2,500 subscribers with core features, while Scale and Max add monetization, automation, and team collaboration. Enterprise customers with over 100,000 subscribers get dedicated support and custom infrastructure.
