Newsletter Junkie… Platform seems like it is in ultra-beta mode and we all are the testers. Customer support is a little slow given the lack of platform functionality and ease of use. I will say I am going to stay with this for as long as I can because I believe in the product. But once things start falling apart I will move to sub stack.

The best newsletter platform I've used I've used four different newsletter or email-building platforms in my career and beehiiv takes the cake (Mailchimp doesn't even get a slice). Editor is smooth and intuitive. Built-in website/blog/archive feature is great; first time I haven't had to manually copy/paste newsletter content to a blog myself. Team is helpful and there's so much good content on their website and YouTube channels as well.

Overpriced and Missing Features Beehiiv tries hard to be the 'Apple' of newsletters. Premium price. Focus on being 'user friendly'. Tons of missing customization features. Some of the most basic features like ask for a subscriber's first name when the sign up to your newsletter... are missing! Automated email sequences, which are either free with other providers until 1000 subscribers, or cost like $15/month on a basic plan... are only available on Beehiiv's $99/month plan. I personally spent a month on their 'free plan' setting things up, just to find out a lot of basic functions of email tools were simply not available, because... I'm not sure why. Also their email automation I spent time setting up, now I can only access if I pay the 99/month. but for that price, I don't really get the features I want. I cant even get access to the emails I created in there, to move them to a different platform. So frustrating. I guess they think it's cool to limit functionality? Feels more focused or exclusive? To me, it's just weird. And I'm an Apple user for the record!

Beehiiv is the best platform for… Beehiiv is the best platform for newsletters. I received great support when moving my audience over from another platform. Never going back. Also, the rate they release new features is amazing.

A platform that keeps getting better! A platform that keeps getting better! Rarely have I subscribed to a software that I follow closely for product updates. Beehiiv is designed with the newsletter writer in mind. They have automated and templatized all the worst parts of being a creator - managing and finding advertising opportunities, tracking growth, referrals etc. so that you can focus on the most important part (the content). They let me migrate my newsletter over quickly. Their support team responds with any requests. and best of all there's a strong community of beehiiv writers that share resources and help promote new newsletters on the platform. 10/10 - everyone who switches over can never look back.
