beehiiv is the sharpest of the newsletter platforms right now: a generous free tier, proper growth tools, an ad network. If the newsletter is the whole business, it earns its fans.
The argument is the word platform.
What beehiiv holds
- Your site is a newsletter page in their shape, on their infrastructure
- The growth tools and the ad network are theirs, priced accordingly as you scale
- The monthly fee returns the moment your list stops being small
- It is still DIY. The tools are good but the setup week is yours
What you hold here
- A real site on your domain with pages, posts, capture and legal, edited from Notion
- A welcome funnel written for you from your three best videos
- $1,400 once, $0/month, everything in your own accounts
Your list exports from beehiiv, to be fair. The site, the automations and the referral machinery do not move with you. Nothing here has a wall in it.
