Beehiiv is the newsletter platform built by the team behind Morning Brew, combining email sending, a website, audience growth tools and monetization in one place for creators and media brands.
Beehiiv treats a newsletter as a business, not just a broadcast. Every publication gets a polished website with a custom domain, unlimited email sends and analytics that track growth by source. Its growth stack is the differentiator: a built-in referral program, a recommendation network that swaps audiences with similar newsletters, and Boosts that let you buy or sell qualified subscribers. Monetization is equally native — paid subscriptions with a 0% platform fee, a built-in ad network matching sponsors to publications, and digital product sales — while automations, polls, surveys and A/B testing keep engagement high.
Founded in 2021 by former Morning Brew employees, beehiiv has grown unusually quickly for an email platform, helped by treating design and deliverability as seriously as growth: publications get modern templates, strong default SEO for their web archives and subscriber-level analytics that attribute every signup to its source. Larger plans add branding removal, up to ten publications and priority support, and because the platform takes no cut of subscription revenue, publishers keep what readers pay them, minus standard payment processing fees.
The Launch plan is free for up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends. Scale starts at $49/month, Max starts at $109/month with branding removal and more publications, and Enterprise is custom for 100,000+ subscribers.
Newsletter creators, independent publishers and media brands that want to grow and monetize an audience without stitching together separate tools for email, web, referrals and ads.
