Overview

beehiiv is a newsletter and publishing platform founded in 2021 by Tyler Denk (formerly of Morning Brew) and co-founders, based in New York City. It positions itself as an all-in-one platform bringing together newsletter creation, growth, and monetization tools that would otherwise require several separate services.

The platform serves creators ranging from individual writers just starting a newsletter to established media companies and newsrooms.

Key Features

beehiiv includes a drag-and-drop email editor with templates, a built-in website builder, podcast hosting, and AI-assisted writing tools and automations.

On monetization, it offers a native ad network with 0% take rate on paid subscriptions (paid plans), digital product sales, community features, and audience segmentation with surveys and polls. Advanced analytics and A/B testing are available for optimizing send performance.

Pricing

beehiiv's free Launch plan supports up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited email sends. The Scale plan ($43/month, or $517/year) raises the limit to 100,000 subscribers and adds the ad network, automations, and webhooks. The Max plan ($96/month, or $1,151/year) adds branding removal, audio newsletters, and support for up to 10 publications. Enterprise pricing is custom and adds SSO, dedicated IPs, and a dedicated account manager.
