What it is
beehiiv is the newsletter platform Substack should have been: built-in monetization, referral programs, ad network access, analytics that aren't useless.
Strengths
- Built-in ad network for monetization
- Referral programs are first-class
- Free tier up to 2,500 subs
- Better analytics than Substack/Mailchimp
Trade-offs
- Less established than Mailchimp/ConvertKit
- Some features still in beta
Who it's best for
Newsletter operators who want to monetize without coding their own infrastructure.
