Newsletter platform built for growth

Founded 2021Website

Overview

Beehiiv is a comprehensive newsletter platform purpose-built for creators to launch, grow, and monetize their audiences. Founded by the team behind Morning Brew, one of the world's most successful newsletters, Beehiiv combines everything needed for newsletter success in a single intuitive dashboard: an advanced email editor, customizable website builder, audience analytics, and powerful growth features. The platform is particularly attractive for solopreneurs starting out, offering a truly free tier supporting up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited email sends, with no credit card required. As your audience grows, the Scale plan ($49/month) unlocks monetization features including paid subscriptions (with an industry-leading 0% platform fee), advertising network access, and sponsorship tools. The paid plans also include advanced features like A/B testing, audience segmentation, referral programs, and dedicated analytics. Beehiiv's integrated approach eliminates the complexity of connecting multiple tools: you can publish, analyze, and monetize all within one platform, making it ideal for creators managing multiple business priorities.
