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!

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.

Grow your newsletter!! If you want to grow your newsletter, the beehiiv platform has everything you need. The feature set includes referrals, an internal ad network, blog, segmentation's and automations. Plus the UI is a wonderful experience and the team is continuing to improve the software. I’ve already upgraded my plan to fit my needs as my newsletter grows with every new post.

Support is absolutely useless... Can't signup for a new account because they give you a 461 Error about a VPN. I don't use a VPN and everyone is getting this notice - just check Reddit complaints. Then I use my phone to signup and they say to confirm on the email, which never arrives after multiple attempts. Support is absolutely useless, who will run you in circles and never listens to anything you say. You'll waste 2 days of your life just trying to get the stupid account. And, then the fact you have to whitelist their confirmation email because its considered SPAM from an email company is insane! Go the other way!

I love beehiiv and their team I love beehiiv and their team! Easily best email platform for creators and they continue to come out with new features so quickly. Can't imagine where this platform will be 6, 12 months from now.
