About beehiivbeehiiv
beehiiv is built for people whose product is the newsletter itself. The free Launch plan carries up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends and custom domains. Scale adds the advertising network, paid subscriptions, automations and community features; Max adds audio newsletters, the send API and unlimited team seats. Publishers above 100,000 subscribers are quoted individually. Annual billing is cheaper than the monthly rate on both paid tiers.
