What it is

beehiiv is a newsletter platform for creators and media publishers that combines email, a website, a referral programme and monetisation. Paid plans include an ad network and paid subscriptions with no platform take rate, and the free plan covers up to 2,500 subscribers. It is strong on growth and monetisation. The jump from free to paid is steep, though, and design and automation are less flexible than in marketing-focused tools.

Standout capability

Built-in monetisation: ad network, boosts and paid subscriptions with no take rate.
